RE: The Thirty Day SHTF Test Diet: Day 19
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.
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.
Good! Go for it.
