Salt Makes Fat Around the Heart
Salt
Makes Fat Around the Heart
"When I had open heart surgery
in 1976 at Mayo Clinic, my world renown physician told me to throw out the salt
shaker. I was allowed to have french fries and a few high salty foods but I was
not allow to use the salt shaker from that day forward.
My physician's reasoning was that
salt makes "fat around the heart". This was a brilliant way to
describe to a 14-year-old the dangers of salt, how salt interrupts the blood
flow in your arteries that service your heart.
A Friend's Recent Story
Recently, a close friend of mine
confided that he went to the dentist and he could not have his teeth cleaned
because of his high blood pressure. He confided to my best friend that here I
had a bad heart and took care of myself and for him, he was blessed with a
great heart and actively chose to clog his arteries."
