Tips To Eat Less Salt and Sodium
1. Read the food label to choose
foods lower in sodium.
2. Eat fewer canned and processed
foods that are high in sodium (e.g.,
bologna, crisp pork rinds, sausage,
pepperoni, salami, hot dogs, regular
canned and instant soups, cheese,
and chips).
3. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables
instead of salty snacks.
4. Eat fewer salted crackers and
nuts. Try unsalted nuts and unsalted
or low sodium crackers.
5. Eat fewer olives and pickles.
6. Use half the amount of salt you
normally use when cooking, if any.
7. Season food with herbs and spices
instead of salt.
8. Use less bouillon, adobo, capers,
and soy sauce. If you use these
condiments, do not add salt to your
food.
9. Use garlic powder and onion
powder instead of garlic salt or
onion salt.
10. Take the salt shaker off the
table.
11. Eat fruits without adding salt.
12. When eating out, ask that salt
not be added to your portion,
especially with french fries.
