Should i use salt when i cook if i have cancer!!help?!


Question: I am so sorry to hear that you have cancer, I hope you get better soon, I really do.

& No, I do not think that you should use salt whilst cooking, salt is not good for you. too much salt leads to water retention which tends to cause weight gain and adds extra pressure to the heart to pump it's blood through out your body. Also it can lead to high blood pressure if you maintain a high salt diet. This can lead to lots of medical problems in the future...you might not be feeling the effects now but as you get older your body becomes less resilient and can't withstand and fight back to the bad things we do to it as we are young.

So yeah I cut salt completely out of my diet.

Well I will say this once good luck with the cancer, Hope it gets better.

Take care & God bless.

Guess it depends on the type of cancer you have...

Having worked with cancer and aids patients, I would suggest that you cut back on the salt and also contact a dietitian that specializes in the diets of those dealing with cancer, no matter what kind of cancer it is. Certain foods can cause problems with the body because of the chemo therapies and/or radiation therapies that are being taken/received, certain foods can help, so again, I would suggest that you contact a Cancer Dietitian, and God bless you!

It should be no problem. Try to cook with foods rich in selenium like tomatoes.

It's your choice. What cancer do you have?
