What do you suggest if i used salt substitute in fairly large portions for almost 6 months and just a couple of days ago i started?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quit: Salt substitutes still have sodium and sometimes large amounts of potasssium. NOTHING in large quantities is good. Quit the salt, eat a regular, low salt diet, loose a few pounds if you need to and exercise more. Unfortunately, there are no short cuts or easy solutions but you can do it!
