Buy fresh food more often. Sodium (a part of salt) is added to many packaged foods.
•
Use spices, herbs, and sodium-free seasonings in place of salt.
Check the Nutrition Facts label on food packages for sodium. A Daily Value of 20% or more means the food is high in sodium.
Try lower-sodium versions of frozen dinners and other convenience foods.
Rinse canned vegetables, beans, meats, and fish with water before eating.
