Pre-packaged eats when you're just not in the mood to cook

[ElizabethB]

Mine is not a "salt is not good for you" issue. I have a specific condition. I take medicines that cause my kidneys to remove more salt, and I have strict limits on salt. Without the meds and the diet, my body retains salt, and therefore retains water. Last month I was in the hospital for a procedure to remove excess water/fluid from my peritoneal cavity. They removed 5 litres. My meds and diet are to keep water/fluids from accumulating again.

So, in my case, there is a direct "cause and effect" diagnosis involved. It is not a "general health" recommendation.

We have easy meals about twice a week, beans on toast , salmon on toast, a sammich. But wife has about 6 weight watchers frozen meals, she like them and quite often says I'm ok, get ya self something. I have frozen meals along with sides in plastic containers. We have a choice here, butter chicken, Moroccan lamb, lamb shanks, fried rice and a few others. Daughters been getting through a few of mine. Oh how I love my freezers.

Ah - I understand now. Yours is a different situation entirely from those with high blood pressure & heart issues.

Yes, high blood pressure can be treated with meds alone, although it never hurts to watch the sodium intake. Mine is a "do this, and this happens" condition.
