Eating Healthy

I was talking with my roommate the other day about eating healthy and not eating salt because it's bad for your heart. She, as do my other roommates, was giving me crap about eating healthy because I'm quote unquote already skinny. I told her that just because a person is skinny does not mean that they are healthy.
Anyways, we somehow got onto the topic of just how bad salt is but neither one of us really knew how bad salt is for you other than the fact that it is bad for your heart. So we went to google and found out that eating too much salt can cause high blood pressure and lead to other more serious heart problems.
We furthered our discussion by talking about what foods you should buy when grocery shopping. We both agreed that shopping the around the isles is the healthiest because by doing so you are avoiding all the processed foods and preservatives that are in food to make it last longer. By shopping around the isles you are eating fresh fruits and vegtables, meats and dairy products that are good for you and contain no food preservatives.
