That has been my attitude not to worry able salt too much as long as my blood pressure is in proper limits.

I have a fondness for all types of rye bread, but here are some quotes from Bill Phillips in "Body for Life."

Whole-Wheat Bread

Usually, when people start the Body-for-LIFE Program, I try to wean them off of bread, crackers, cookies, and other carbohydrate foods that they've been overdosing on, and, although I'm reluctant to "authorize" bread, I do so under the condition that it be whole-wheat bread and that you understand that that a portion of bread generally, unless you've got one big ol' hand, is only two slices of bread or one whole-wheat tortilla.

(Note Phillips teaches portions should not exceed palm or fist size.)

Some of Phillips' other recommendations are to eat 6 small meals a day. This keeps the body from going into starvation mode and reduced metabolism.

Drink at least 10 cups of water a day.

Plan your meals in advance and record what you eat.

And, Once a week, give yourself a free day to eat what you want.

Naturally, it's understood this last one is within reason and doesn't include 2 gallons of ice cream, but dining out once a week is reasonable.

My father started on a succession of strokes when I was around 7 years old. As a result, the whole family went on a low salt diet with him.

To this day, I don't use much salt in cooking. The primary exception is mashed potatoes, which seem to require salt.

Aside from that, I'll splurge on potato chips now and then, albeit the lower sodium kind.
