Besides, it's well worth it even if it does cause high blood pressure; it makes bad food edible and good food taste SOOO good. What's the use of a long life eating crap that tastes like sand?
Just pray you don't HAVE to go on a restricted eating plan (like myself). Granted, I don't follow it to the letter, and it's not so much the taste but of the limited amounts you have to eat. Not many food choices in a diabetic/renal diet, believe me. It's sucks.

Not worth the hypertension, IMO., that'll lead to other health complications that will lead to scarfing down a cocktail of pills everyday and hospital visits.

BUT...as they say, "all things in moderation".

And not all healthy foods taste like sand...lol!
