Yes, you do get get used to it, tastebuds become more salt sensitive as they get more used to the taste of foods without so much added salt in everything.
I use lots of herbs and spices. Lemon juice or lime juice are also good on vegetables and in soups to add another layer of flavor. You could look at some recipes for the DASH diet, designed to lower blood pressure. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-l...s/rcs-20077146 Salt substitutes I find are hit or miss. Mrs. Dash, Table Tasty, No Salt are some. It’s not a salt substitute but I like the Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning. |

you can also learn to combine different flavors - like citrus - to various recipes to enhance the flavor. as far as salt, you want to avoid anything with MSG which is the uber-level of salt. then slowly wean yourself off of regular salt and sodium in time. as mentioned earlier, it could be a lack of potassium that could be looked into.

In AZ, the dry air wicks the sweat, unless the temps are high (for me, 98+) so that it seems that I'm not sweating, but having lived here my whole life and having traveled to many different climates, I'm sweating as much in the dry climate as I am in the humid air. For me, hot and humid makes breathing harder, and the sweat rolls off, but if I were home in the same temp, much of the sweat would evaporate quickly, and I wouldn't need gills to breathe.
