Salt Is Good For You

I have been saying this for years that salt is a good thing in ones diet not a bad thing.  As our body needs salt to survive.  Years ago we used to have salt tablet dispensers in the work place for those that worked hard.  Reason being that when one sweats he looses salt at a drastic rate. Loosing salt one gets weak and opens up the door for other problems.  I will say this though that one should eat only good raw salt not the white salt that most find in the stores today.  Pink Sea Salt is a good choice. When bought it is moist and needs to be dried and ground.  Here is the article that came out today.

Headlines declared the news this week that low-sodium diets don’t benefit health. The stories were based on a new study in the Lancet that concluded cutting back on sodium doesn’t improve health for most and that it may, in fact, increase the risk of cardiovascular problems. The findings run counter to messages repeated for years by groups like the World Health Organization and the Heart and Stroke Foundation: that the vast majority of us consume too much sodium and it’s contributing to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and other health problems. They also highlight an increasingly contentious battle between the health experts who advocate for sodium reduction and the small but vocal group of researchers who say big decreases aren’t a good idea.

Information, Port Loring Ontario, May 27/2016

Good Morning:  Cloudy morning here waking up in Port Loring Ontario.  On another note I did manage to get the vegetable gardens planted for another year.  Sure is nice to see all done up.  I get more pleasure working in the garden than one could imagine. Relaxes me.  My garlic this year is doing well, over a foot tall already.  Will be a great year for gardens I am thinking, that is if you have a good source of water for irrigation.  As I do think we could have a very dry warm summer.  Hoping not too warm.  With that enjoy your day, make it a good day.  Only you can make it happen.

Weather Forecast:  Cloudy starting off, then the sun will break through with warmer temperatures.    Weather Station Home:

Rain Accumulations:  We had 70 mm of rain yesterday and through the night.  Just in time for those that have planted their gardens.  Couldn’t be better.

Bug Report:  Black Flies are annoying now and will remain with us for a few weeks. Mosquitoes are just starting.

Fishing Report:  Today the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 9:56 AM – 11:56 AM.  Then once again, later from 4:44 PM – 7:44 PM.  I give it a 3 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Good Luck!

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare and dry.  Traveling will be good today. Wife and I took a trip to Mattawa on Wednesday and seen a car hit a moose on Highway 11 just before North Bay.  Not a pretty sight.  Care should be taken as the black flies puts these critters into a disoriented state this time of year.
