Tips To Eat Less Salt and Sodium
- Read the food label to choose foods lower in sodium.
- 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).
- Eat fresh fruits and vegetables instead of salty snacks.
- Eat fewer salted crackers and nuts. Try unsalted nuts and unsalted or low sodium crackers.
- Eat fewer olives and pickles.
- Use half the amount of salt you normally use when cooking, if any.
- Season food with herbs and spices instead of salt.
- Use less bouillon, adobo, capers, and soy sauce. If you use these condiments, do not add salt to your food.
- Use garlic powder and onion powder instead of garlic salt or onion salt.
- Take the salt shaker off the table.
- Eat fruits without adding salt.
- When eating out, ask that salt not be added to your portion, especially with french fries.
