Salt can increase blood pressure but that is not all it does to harm us. I can also rob our bones of calcium, thus causing kidney stones.

New Question
A goodie for all those that answer correctly (according to Spark statistics)!
What does eating too much salt (sodium) do to the body?
It can clog the arteries by thickening the blood
It can increase blood pressure by keeping extra fluid in the body
It can prevent sugar's digestion, which may cause diabetes

I am familiar with the meal planner, just have never used it. I may try it in the future when I get stuck on what to eat though.
I usually prefer to exercise by myself because I can go at my own pace. If I am working off a DVD or Exercise tape and need to stop for whatever reason, I stop the tape so I could do the whole thing instead of missing out of any of it. Whereas if I was workout out with someone else, I couldn't stop the tape. And if I was doing ST, I can work at a quick pace to get a cardio workout as well.
Thank you Lord for blessing our steps all the way to the end.

Me, too with the workouts. Been in lots of pain. Joined a gym, but can't do much. Going to try the pool there. They only have water aerobics, though. I need to look up water exercises for arthritis.
Have a great weekend, all!
