Re: too much salt will cause water retention which will cause the feet and
Thanks for the info. He went to the doctor today and his primary doc. told him to stop taking all the other meds and he would prescribe something else for the sleep and a pill for the water retention. After weighing in at the doc's office today, he came home and is determined to get the weight off. Yea!! We'll see. It will be hard but maybe he'll lose 10 lbs of fluid! Ha!

too much salt will cause water retention which will cause the feet and
ankles to swell, probably most of his problems are caused by too much salt. one sleeper per night shouldn'r hinder him it should be ok eating after 10 pm is not helping him. just a very small warm drink before bed time. but yes, cut the salt. never add more...take the salt shaker off the table . Don't add to cooking. use herbs fro cooking and fresh ground black pepper. sorry i am an old Nurse. LOL
