Ways to reduce salt in your diet
We all know by now that salt is bad for us. But the truth is, it's almost everywhere. How can we reduce the sodium in our diets without reducing the flavour? Mark's Daily Apple has some excellent suggestions that I wanted to share:
How do you reduce salt from your diet?
- Make your own condiments and dressings. I make my own caesar dressing and it's twice as tasty with less sodium
- Watch your portions of salt-rich things. Sushi wouldn't be the same without soy sauce, but because -- it has a ton of salt.
- Avoid cured meats, like bacon and sausages. There's a reason why they're tasty -- added salt!
- Eat fresh. Avoid those frozen meals and processed foods -- they're salt-heavy.
- Read the labels, and know what to look for. The RDI of sodium is 920-2300mg per day.

I don't use a salt shaker anywhere at any restaurant.
Also, if I eat canned soup, I pour OUT most of the broth and put plain hot water.
