Updated July, 2017 Living Well Without Salt was written by Donald Gazzaniga, the creator of our current "no salt" world. He was first to write a no salt, lowest sodium cookbook aimed at helping those who needed to cut salt out of their lives for survival or an improved lifestyle. The No-Salt, Lowest-Sodium cookbooks have addressed the issue of hypertension, high blood pressure and helped improve the lifestyles of those in need.

About the Author: Donald Gazzaniga learned about cooking as a youngster when his mother first taught him how to make baked goods. His mother also taught his two brothers and two sisters how to cook. "She really started with me by aiming me at her pots and pans, and then the dinner dishes," he says with a grin. But Gazzaniga also prepared meals for well-known politicians, movie stars and his film crews. After his diagnosis of terminal heart failure he says he just naturally turned to solving his new challenge via his diet. It's not only worked for him, but for thousands of others.
