Apoptosis and autophagy are both forms of programmed cell death, but necrosis is a non-physiological process that occurs as a result of infection or injury. Necrosis is the death of a cell caused by external factors such as trauma or infection and occurs in several different forms.
Main Content: Low-sodium salt alternatives. If you find that you or a loved one really cannot live without the taste of salt, then it may be worth using a low-sodium salt alternative. These sodium-replacement salts taste the same as normal table salt but use potassium instead of sodium as a key ingredient.
Hints to keep your sodium intake down. 1  Cook with herbs and spices instead of salt. (Refer to âSpice Up Your Cookingâ section for further suggestions.) 2  Read food labels and choose those foods low in sodium. 3  Avoid salt substitutes and specialty low-sodium foods made with salt substitutes because they are high in potassium. When eating out, ask for meat or fish without salt. Ask for gravy or sauce on the side; these may contain large amounts of salt and should be used in small amounts. Limit use of canned, processed and frozen foods.
