Health and Wellness - How to Reduce Salt In Your Diet

Virtually everyone is eating too much sodium at the moment. The Average American consumes twice the amount of sodium per day than the body needs, around 4,000mg. According to the American Medical Association some 150,00 lives could be saved if people cut back on Sodium.

The problem is that salt is a hidden ingredient of many foods for preservation purposes,especially Frozen food and cans, so that when you are eating a so called healthy frozen dinner it might contain more than 2,300 mg which is your daily allowance. you must take care to read the ingredient labels when you are choosing your groceries.

One popular method of controlling sodium intake is to pick foods with less than five ingredient. then look at sodium content per serving. always ember to check the number of serving per package so than if you consume for example a can of soup meant for three persons with 500mg of sodium per serving you will eat 1,500 mg

Cookies and Crackers can contain high levels of sodium, so it is best to repackage them into smaller packages so that you do not eat too much. Practice cooking food without adding salt and do not have salt shakers on the table, so that your family will get out of the habit of adding additional salt. you can also use salt substitutes or salt free flavoring to keep food interesting and improve your health at the same time.
