Sugar Makes You Dumb

Or with other minerals. The saltiness we taste in salt is due to the presence of sodium. However there are three other macrominerals- potassium, calcium, and magnesium, which work directly in conjunction with sodium to maintain balance in the body. Unfortunately, the presence of these other minerals in food does not create such a profoundly pleasurable taste sensation as sodium, and to an undeveloped palate may even be perceived as displeasurable.

If there is too much sodium in the body relative to the other macrominerals, this will result in greater urine output as the excess sodium is eliminated. Drinking more water may help, in a sense, to "balance" this out. However it doesn't address the underlying issue, and since the other macrominerals are always lost, to some degree, in the urine, simply drinking more water in order to help eliminate the excess sodium could result in a further deficiency in the other macrominerals.

Youch! Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks!

Have you had it looked at by someone?

Nah, just a sprain.

You could try making some miso soup with fresh ginger and green onion or seaweed. That might help with the inflammation! (Not the making of it, but the eating of it. LOL. Might wanna enlist your hubby to make it for you!)

Sounds good. Swelling is already down. Drinking the most potent anti-inflammatory!
