RE: The Thirty Day SHTF Test Diet: Day 19

in #prepping6 years ago

that's funny, sodium seems to be the one nutrient it supplies the RDA of, which is really a minimum to avoid malnutrition, it should say "excellent source of sodium" on the packet. We take it for granted but sodium is an essential nutrient.

Sort:  

Too much fear of heart attacks, I'll bet.

I also got to wondering what someone with hypertension would do in a SHTF

While you brought the subject up, just imagine all those people on bug pills cut off from their supply. That'll make life unpredictable.

As for hypertension, prolly worse - though some folks might see their blood pressures drop because they're hunkered down and relieved of the responsibilities/aggravations that jacked their blood pressures up.

But in most cases, worse. Just imagine being cut off from the world. I can see a lot of younger people's BPs going sky-high as a result. Worry and stewing in one's own juice would jack up others'.

you've inspired me to at some point write my own prepping philosophy into a post.
