Can't help that my own set of safe food usually consists of crunchy-salty.
Thankfully it's somewhat easy to find, easy to prep.
Whether it's fried chicken, potato chips or almonds and other nuts...
I'm aware of my potentially rising cholesterol tho...
My next option is anything soup based. Preferably something just as salty. And warmer.
I gave up trying to understand cholesterol when they moved from saying "don't eat it" to "some cholesterol is good and some is bad." I suspect the dairy industry has twisted their arm.
I've heard that people who suffer from hypotension are given salt as a cure, to stop them falling over and banging their heads. Nothing is simple any more.
Incidentally, I've dealt lower blood pressure for most of my life.
Until about when I started taking BCPs. It could be a coincidence because I was turning 28.
I'm not sure now.
Only that I do get gradual physical change throughout the last 2 years of my 20s.
It definately raised my blood pressure from the usual 90s/70s range.
The same with my weight; in which I've been underweight for at least 2-3 kgs, and most of all my body temp warmed up; now I'm just as vulnerable as any other women when it came to temperature issues.
Like plenty of my physical stuff are closer to a normal baseline, from borderline too little or lacking.
It's like I swap some stuff from other few around me; stuff I've been complaining at teenage years are becoming theirs at later age.
And what they're complaining at teenage years are something I deal only more recently.
Anyone else gets worse.

Like getting high blood pressure, more cramps, more weight gain, etc.
