I find it interesting that people say they use little salt, moderate amounts, or extreme amounts.
Exactly how do you know what others are using? Do you see poeple putting salt in food while cooking often? How are you comparing?
I'm going to say I use and consume moderate amounts, because you do need some salt in your diet. Same as needing some fat. I put salt in my food while I'm cooking. I don't add extra salt once it's cooked. I only ever sprinkle a small amount in most things, like in soup, while boiling pasta, on a steak I'm grilling, in dough, etc.
I have never noticed that salt has a negative effect on me, in terms of bloating or water retention. But then I'm not that in tune with my body. Associating that because I put x amount of salt in my food 3 hours earlier I then seem to have slightly more water retention or bloating, is almost impossible for me. Who has time for this? I have always wanted to understand my body better but I really wouldn't know where to start.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
