How to get one of these or many of these… Well that’s easy… eat lots of salt, baby! What? You don’t think you eat too much salt?  Have you considered the hidden salt, which ain’t so hidden, in processed foods?  Are you eating junk food, processed foods, treats or snacks, oh and then are you adding salt to your meals?  Well most people do.  Here’s the thing; remove all the processed foods and learn to season your fresh food with pepper, spices, and herbs.  This is what I want you to think about, next time you reach for the salt shaker imagine the devil himself giving it to you.  Think that’s a bit extreme… well maybe it is, but putting this vision in your mind will help you to recognize how seriously dangerous salt can be.   Salt is like a bad habit, once it’s out of your life for awhile you will stop thinking about it eventually.  Trust me, your body will thank you for it, especially your arteries.
