So there I was in Las Vegas doing the obligatory tourist thing and toured the "Bodies" exhibit, which is pretty much plasticized human muscle and bone. I read something on the wall that said humans are born with EITHER a preference for sweet or salty.

I obviously was born with the sweet pref, and didn't ever add salt to my food until I started exercising/cycling a lot (more than the one-hour-at-a-time gym rat habit of my early 20s) and got blood results back that said my sodium was really low. So I got on a sea salt kick at home and it's supposed to have lots of good other minerals like potassium in it, depending on which kind you get. I get my blood results back in a couple weeks, so I'll let you know if it worked!

BTW, my mom has high blood pressure but mine's always been low/great, so I don't worry about that. I think it was 110 over 53 yesterday (back to doc because the congestion just won't go away...)

Bring on the salt! I'll just sweat it out tomorrow...
