I was looking around for recipes and found a bit on how to reduce sodium in your diet. I will copy and paste it here.
Most of us eat much more sodium than we need. In some people, this can lead to high blood pressure, which increases the risk of stroke, heart disease and kidney disease. The American Heart Association eating plan limits sodium intake to 2,400 milligrams per day. That's about a teaspoon of salt. People with high blood pressure may need stricter limits on sodium.
Most of the sodium in our diets is added either during processing, while preparing food or at the table. To help reduce sodium in your diet:
- Use less salt or no salt at the table and in cooking.
- Use herbs and spices in place of salt.
- Limit your intake of foods high in added sodium, such as:
- Canned and dried soups
- Canned vegetables
- Ketchup and mustard
- Salty snack foods
- Olives and pickles
- Luncheon meats and cold cuts
- Bacon and other cured meats
- Cheeses
- Restaurant and carry-out foods (such as French fries, onion rings, hamburgers)
To reduce the salt in canned vegetables, drain the liquid, then rinse the vegetables in water before eating.
Look for "unsalted" varieties of the canned foods and snack foods listed above. Some foods may be labeled "no salt" or "without added salt."
Ask restaurants not to add salt to your order.
Even bakery products and cereals can be major sources of sodium in the diet. Read the labels of all foods carefully.
