Someone in my family has COPD and heart disease, which may include enlarged heart and definetely arrhythmia. I add no salt to food and make sure canned goods, such as sausages are rinsed. This goes for ham and many other salty foods.

Still, in last two years when she got very ill_having been diagnosed with COPD and some of the heart problems few years earlier_and having been in and out of hospital in at least five occassions, I still believe a lot of her crisis have to do with whatever additives (including salt) there are in packaged goods. By the way none of the doctors_and there have been plenty of them_have “strongly” cautioned against salt. Until unfortunately she has a crisis, which inludes a sort of inbalance, such as sodium being LOW instead of high, or normal for that matter. The potassium sometimes gets high, towards the end of her stay at hospital. And of course there’s the worse part which is the high concentration of carbon dioxide, occurring in patients w/COPD.

Adnama asked:


My 19 year old best friend has a high risk of heart disease in his family and has already had heart surgery to repair a leaking valve. He thinks eating only “lean” meats is a healthy way to avoid heart problems and reach an appropriate amount of protein for his height and weight. He knows I’m a vegetarian and he respects that so I try to return the favor by not pushing my ideals on him but I’m kind of concerned. Can “lean” meats still cause heart problems or has he really done his homework?
