How to get rid of the excess salt and MSG in your body?

I HATE IT!
I have spent money again on today's lunch on food which has so much salt and MSG that it is just so plain disgusting!
The local authority should not just grade food stalls according to their hygience but also the 'healthliness' of the food to us, consumers.
As a result of the MSG and salt partaken, I feel so thristy that I drink like a hippo; stomach bloated and yet the feel of saltiness still pervade.
I went for a run this evening to sweat the salt out. Running a google check on the internet, I could hardly find any way to get rid of the excess salt and MSG we have partaken accidentally outside.
Does anyone have any ideas to get rid of this excess salt? Drinking water does not help, and I could only think of exercising to rid this salt via sweating.
Singapore has lots of good food but also lots of food laden with a plethora of sugar, salt and MSG.
Be discreet next time you choose your food to consume. We are what we eat!

It is very strange that u need to get rid of the salt in ur systeem as compared to white expats who needs to take salt tablets to replenish their salt "loss" thru excessive perspiration in the hot climate !!

Yes, the processed food here is also loaded with salt. I was just telling hubby today that I had to drink 3 glasses of water after chewing on a smoked sausage for lunch ! Y'day the media was hounding 22 brands of the said sausage bec there were too much saturated fats in them. So, it was a double whammy down my gut :-/

Even products that r "low fat" or "light" r not to be trusted even though we hv to pay more for them bec we thought they were better for our health *sigh*

What to do indeed with this avalanche of unhealthy food ?

Dutchie, is it not sad that food sellers are overdosing our food with salt and msg just to make the food taste nicer.

Due to the higher costs of ingredients, many hawkers have to cut costs.

I discover some established food stalls using powdered soup stock instead of boiling chicken or pork bones for hours to brew a good pot of stock. That expalins the MSG.

I have cut down on eating outside food.

Ya Dutchie and ECL, in the past, I love to eat soupy food outside because I thought they were less oily and less fried.

But I think I am wrong. I am always very thristy after a soupy meal, I believe it has to do with the MSG and salt that is added in spoonfuls to the soup to make them more tasty.

So these days, I will drink only a bit of the tasty soup and discipline will guide me to leave 90% of the soup intact.

Vernon Leong Jun Wei

What happens to the 31 year old bride groom, Vernon Leong Jun Wei? As the news of this latest unnatural and bizzare death developed, it seemed that Vernon did not jump from the 24th storey of Hilton Hotel as was believed earlier. There were 3 video camera footages which might prove otherwises for the cause of Vernon's death. The first video footage showed Vernon at the 24th storey, making his way hurriedly into the fire escape staircase. The next video footage showed Vernon at the 2nd storey which also holds some shops and the final footage showed an unconscious Vernon motionless at the ground of the hotel. Vernon was cladded casually in a T-shirt and pants and have left his hotel room while his wife was taking a shower. It seemed that he might be escaping from something or somebody or that he might be chasing after something or somebody. What did Vernon see and experience at his last moments? The police is still investigating the case. It is really a very tragical and sad

Kampong Lorong Buangkok

Amidst the blazing afternoon sun today, my Dear and I made our way to Kampong Lorong Buangkok. The visit was a timely one as there is such a high buzz being generated over the last kampong in modern Singapore. After alighting from Bus 854 from Eunos, it was not difficult to find our way to the kampong. The entrance of the kampong was distinct as you could see from the picture: the 'ulu-ness' (rural charm) is evident from the attap-roofed buildings and more unkempt conditions. A signboard with hand-written text welcome my Dear and I to the last kampong in Singapore: As we entered the kampong, I spotted a middle-aged woman talking to an old man. I had seen the old woman before on TV. She was none other than the owner of the kampong land. In the documentary, I learnt that the whole kampong land was passed to her by her late father. She has kept the land and have not gone on to sell the land to the government. If she were to sell the land, she would be an instant multi-millionair

Performance Bonus

It is the time of the year civil servants receive their performance bonuses (PBs). In the coming two weeks, civil servants will not only receive their performance bonuses, special ‘growth bonuses’, would also await them for the very first time. These PBs and growth bonuses are only applicable to performers, defined as officers with assessed performance gradings above the ‘D’ grade. Typically, civil servants receive their performance bonuses in March, a 0.5 month of bonus in July and a 13th month plus AVC in December. Are all the bonuses good? To be frank, the bonuses dished out in Civil Service are averages at best. With the various bonuses being given out in these months: July, December and March, a civil servant who would like to quit would most likely try to find a ‘suitable’ month to quit so as not to forfeit his bonuses. The December bonus is generally the most generous portion. To quantify for this bonus, an officer would have to be in service till the end of January ne
