I checked out Beau’s site right while i was reading here, Integrity seems to be adhering to a set of values, ah, therein lies the problem – whose values? Christians apparently think they have the monopoly on the only set if values to live by…how very self-serving.

Anonymous, I’m real and live in LA which probably explains why you wouldn’t have met me. If you don’t want to believe in aliens it’s ok with me though I think an open mind to anything is a more out if the box thinking option.

Luv, Zen Lill

Q: Is it smart to avoid salt as a general rule even if my blood pressure is fine?

A: Most people don’t need to give up salt entirely, but would be wise to limit intake. Sodium does contribute to high blood pressure and fluid retention, which force your heart to work harder and increase risk for heart attack and stroke.

For healthy young adults, the recommended daily limit is 2,300 mg of sodium — that’s just one teaspoon of salt. African-Americans, who are more prone to high blood pressure, and anyone who is middle-aged or older (or who already has high blood pressure) should stay under 1,500 mg — about two-thirds of a teaspoon per day.

Strategies: Avoid processed and canned foods unless labeled “low sodium.” Use herbs instead of salt to add flavor to foods. Ban the saltshaker — or at least fill it with a mix of salt, pepper and other seasonings.

Integrity is a word used often by men in Iran. As Robert said, it has meaning only to the scoundrel who use it to make their actions seem justified.

Hi Michelle

I’ve been silently reading the comments. It seems it’s greener in Marin that I thought.

We love you here so don’t let the envy get you down. I can’t wait to turn my girls onto your blog. I save your entire blog each day. There is always something to learn.

Thanks for your commitment to making the world a better place.

Ruth
