7 years ago I too almost took the long dirt nap when I ruptured my heart. After 2 months in hospital, I went home to start my low salt diet. With the powerful motivation behind me, I managed to cut my daily salt intake to 1800 MG or less. It does involve a lot of home cooking with fresh foods. I found the Mrs Dash line of condiments and seasonings to be very helpful. I also cut my fat intake drastically. If a meal had double digits of grams of fat, it wasn't used. Sugars and all its derivatives also needs to be watched closely.

If all I had to look forward to was a bland boiled or baked chicken breast for dinner, maybe the dirt nap was a better option. Fortunately, that wasn't the case. It takes hard work to make it to your old age sometimes.
