No salt when cooking and no salt but on food after it is served, have to buy blood pressure monitor and take it twice a day and go back in 4 months.
Lori - I cook with very little salt if any and mainly use herbs; Mrs Dash is good on food when served; onion and garlic powder are better than their cousins onion and garlic salt; a little dill weed on salads - you will come through this with flying colors and in no time your blood pressure be normal.
