a little bit off topic: Concern about a friends "dieting" habits
a friend of mine has recently decided she wants to start losing weight, and how she is doing so is by becoming vegan, and having an extremely high carb/sugar diet (with no exercise aside from walking to school) Now I know it may not be my business, but I fear for her health. (because she has shared her daily diet info) I…

Question on Sodium and Low Blood Pressure
so I have very low blood pressure, and all my doctor suggested was increasing my sodium intake, which seems like a terrible idea. I love my salt therefore feel in no way does my diet need more sodium, and it can't be healthy overall?? My goal for sodium in a day is 2500, is there a # I should be increasing it to? I can't…

How To Lower Fat & Increase Carbs
