Visiting physician confirmed my suspicions yesterday and told us hubby is still in Congestive Heart Failure. I had a DASH diet cookbook (someplace) but even though my husband isn’t a fussy eater, I have to feed him more than salads, grilled chicken, fish and turkey burgers. Any cookbooks you really like? Thanks!
Um. You know you're not going to reverse CHF through diet alone no matter how strict you are, yes?
It's not only delicious as broth to drink, but can be used for sauteing meats and vegetables, giving them enough of a salty taste to satisfy without overdoing it. Massel actually advertises doing that on the product label.
Thought it might be helpful during the transition from salt to no salt diet. And as so many other helpful readers have suggested, avoid processed and prepared foods.
If I’m eating food that I really enjoy, I don’t need or expect a lot of variety. If husband isn’t a fussy eater, you may be tired of cooking same/similar meals that he still enjoys.
There are some foods I miss (cheese-miss it a LOT) BUT I stopped eating salt for another health reasons, and I was surprised at how little I missed it.
I also use Mrs. Dash in a few of the different flavors available.
