Tips for Reducing Sodium in Your Diet
Buy fresh, plain frozen, or canned "with no salt added" vegetables.
Use fresh poultry, fish, and lean meat, rather than canned or
processed types.
Use herbs, spices, and salt-free seasoning blends in cooking and at
the table.
Cook rice, pasta, and hot cereals without salt. Cut back on instant or
flavored rice, pasta, and cereal mixes, which usually have added salt.
Choose "convenience" foods that are lower in sodium. Cut back on
frozen dinners, pizza, packaged mixes, canned soups or broths, and salad
dressings - these often have a lot of sodium.
Rinse canned foods, such as tuna, to remove some sodium.
When available, buy low- or reduced-sodium, or no-salt-added versions
of foods.
Choose ready-to-eat breakfast cereals that are lower in sodium.
