best tasting non-salt (kidneys, diet, minerals, sodium)

BTW, I then to love salt, I think it makes all things good but I need to replace it with something else.

Best ideas anyone?

My vote is to just switch to Himalayan pink salt, or some other inland unprocessed salt. And then increase your potassium intake to balance the sodium. Our bodies need sodium; we just need the right type and to have it balanced with other minerals, particularly potassium. If you eat "normal" food, then the problem starts there and needs to end there, IMO. Almost all conventional processed and "fast" foods are heavily doused with processed table salt, and should be avoided as much as possible. If you cook your own food and use the good salts I've mentioned, and you should see a positive result over time.

The Himalayan pink salt is SO good. It's not too salty, and has a smooth finish.

I don't get enough potassium or sodium from my diet for a variety of reasons, so I use potassium-based mineral drops in my water. I also use a salt brine (sole), but it wouldn't likely be needed by people who eat a lot of salt during the day.

Be careful with your salt intake as too much can lead to kidney failure

50/50 sodium/potassium blend. Healthy people don't have to worry about salt. Plenty of people live into their 70's with the standard american diet. Salt is only bad if it's not consumed with an equal amount of potassium.

If you don't believe me you could try this as an antioxidant rich salt substitute (i've never tried it)
