How I love my salt. Can not believe the things I use to eat with salt. IT is going to get me one day. BUT I have turned my ways around. Even found some hints to help with the salt intake that is already in food without the additions that AMerican's use. And just in case you did not knows this less salt intake will help reduce your changes of getting some disease.
Don't get me wrong, all the experts say that the human body does need salt; however we get more than enough without adding a pinch more. This might an adjustment periiod if one seriously starts to cut the sodium. Our taste buds might be a little taken back...but stick to it.
Try some other add such as herbs, spices. Cut the salt in half from recipes or leave out.
Make healthier choices--stay away from processed foods..read the labels.
LOW_FAT or low calorie doesn't always mean healthy.Because of the flavor, they can be higher in sodium.
CHOOSE low, no, or reduced version of soups, frozen meals, canned foods.
FRESH is best but frozen is aalsok especially over canned. IF using canned run under cold water to rinse off the some of the salt.
FAST FOODS-one would think that Americans run of this. Not good way to much- salt
AS we continue to try to eat healthy, just keep the salt intake down to the lowest level possible. You and your loved ones will be happier and healthier.
