Do You and DH Differ In Salt Sensitivity???

ECBG — Sun, 15 Sep 2019 00:51:47 GMT

Goodness! Everything he cooks is so salty it almost "stings" me! He always salted more than I did, but he over pours and over seasons with a vengeance!

Does anyone else deal with a "salt hound"???

Yes although he is getting better as he gets older. I like seasoned food but if it is too salty I simply can't eat it.

@ECBG When I met my husband he salted everything heavily before even tasting. He has done a complete reversal. I don't use salt in our home, but it was a long transition time and I've become adept at using natural tasty alternatives to salt.

@ECBG And too much is well just too much for all of us.

DH cooks here mostly on the weekends since he has time, he really loves to cook. He follows recipes to the tee therefore not over salting. I rarely use salt in cooking instead will use seasonings especially Mrs Dash brand in almost everyone she makes. There is no salt in any of these. We have tons of seasonings & spices, love to use them.

No salt, but I'm a pepper hound.

Yes, I have low tolerance for salt, and my husband salts his food heavily.

My husband can go whole hog on salt but I can’t stand over salted food. I like heavily seasoned but not salt. Plus if I ate like him I’d be a bloated mess!

My family is from the south. I grew up eating food seasoned w/bacon grease.

DH is sensitive to salt, so I rarely salt his food but I like my food salted, NOT salty tho.

I can relate. Husband and I don't share popcorn at movie theatre. He adds salt. I do like pepper more than most people, though; on cottage cheese, the top of biscuits before these go into oven and on tomatoes.

I developed hbp during my pregnancies. I gave up cooking/eating sodium 38 years ago.I raised my family without sodium and my dh and I don't consume sodium. Best thing I ever did! Craving sodium is a learned thing. The more you consume the more you want. We only experience what food is supposed to taste like.

Niehter of us likes a lot of salt these days. He, I think. would prefer practically none, which I think renders food pretty much tasteless. I prefer a bit. If we go out to eat, I have a tough time because so much of this stuff is what I call "pre-fab" food and is too heavily seasoned and/or salted.

DH and I avoid salt for health reasons. We use spices and preblended spices (Mrs. Dash and Penney’s) to season food. So far, so good with keeping our blood pressure at good levels in our elder years.

Over the years I have backed off on over salting my food. It started when I noticed the interesting flavors without the salt. I still use a bit of salt to enhance the taste. DH makes me nuts. He doesn't even taste the food before he grabs the salt shaker.

@Allegheny You two are a mirror image of me and my DH FOR sure.

We try to eat healthy, neither of us uses salt on our food. There was a time when people used tons of salt but I think people are more health consious now. Like with smoking, I don't see a lot of heavy salt use anymore.

Switch to a different salt shaker that isn't as generous in the shake.

Re: Do You and DH Differ In Salt Sensitivity???

Free2be — Mon, 16 Sep 2019 04:04:54 GMT

DH prefers almost no added salt, sometimes none at all. I like a little. I do all of the cooking and don't use a shaker. Small pinches are easy to control.

@ Yes I do , but he's getting better when he sees how my body reacts to salt. And he is trying to watch, most of the time.But he is older than me and has had bad unhealthy eating habits. Sometimes he will get frustrated at the situation of what is safe to eat.
