ForwardModule 6 - Sodium, Potassium, Renal Homeostasis 3/23/24
Attendees examine the physiological effects of high-sodium diets and their prevalence in American culture and take a more in-depth look at the DASH diet, including studies examining its efficacy in reducing the need for medication in hypertensive subjects. In the kitchen we discuss the principles of flavor building and balancing in cooking while exploring salt's role in flavor. We cook reduced-sodium dinner options while discussing ways to reduce and replace sodium in meals.
