About Our No Salt, Lowest Sodium Lifestyle Web Site


How It All Got Started — The First Website, The First Low Sodium Diet
The first site on the Web for no salt or low sodium needs was Megaheart.com The original mission of Megaheart remains their mission today. That's one of the things that makes us comfortable with recommending Megaheart to you. Megaheart went online to help others and offered a free site with free recipes. The mission remains the same today. They have no advertisers, no pharmaceutical companies sponsoring them. In other words, they have only one mission: To help others.

So, who are we? We are a group that cannot use salt or we must at least lower our sodium in order to gain back a healthier lifestyle. The plan in The No Salt, Lowest Sodium Cookbook got us started and that's when we cranked up this site. Frankly it was to help others find and locate the help they need. The Web is a good source of such aid, but things are still not exactly where we would like them to be.

What We Would Like To See
Megaheart.com has done a super service and the books by author and Megaheart guru Donald Gazzaniga have helped thousands of people. The unsolicited testimonials at Megaheart.com demonstrate exactly what needed to be done to help others. Bravo! Other than a few "support group" sites, Megaheart.com has provided the only true help in the form of information, books, recipes and advice from a heart patient who just narrowly escaped the heart transplant procedure. Actually, he escaped it permanently, which is better than narrowly. And hundreds of others have followed in his footsteps.

So, where to from there? That's our job. We're trying to get manufacturers to produce and distribute more foods (processed and fresh) without salt or at least without so much salt in them. There's no reason for all the salt that is used today in processed foods, and neither is there a need for so much salt in restaurant food. So far we've been partially successful. But the battle must go one even though we have learned, at times the hard way, that it's a steep and very high hill to climb.

Our Mission
Our mission is to continue to push on the manufacturers, restaurants and others who provide us our food, ingredients, meals, recipes to take a more serious look at the damage that salt has done to our health, our population and ultimately to the cost of healthcare. We hope you can join us in this adventure.
