Tips for a Low Sodium Diet


DON'T YELL AT ME! This will be the last posting on sodium, I PROMISE! All of that extra sodium in your diet could be contributing to those extra 2-5lbs that you can't seem to shake. Forgo that salt shaker and pick up some herbs and spices! Have you ever heard of oregano? Pepper? Cajun? Parsley? These lovely herbs have zero calories, fat, sodium and can be full of flavor and in some cases nutrition!

Here are some tips to get rid of your nasty salt habit and show your body and blood pressure some love -

1- Avoid canned foods and opt for the fresh veggies and meats. Might be a tad more pricey, but worth it in the long run. Canned foods are loaded with sodium. Why? Because the salt preserves the food.

2-Stay away from the frozen entree aisle! Healthy choice, Swansons, heck even Smart Ones are full of flavor and yes FULL of sodium. That little dinner might only have 220 calories, but could have as much as 1,000mg of sodium. Stay tuned though, a little birdie told me that some of our favorite brands are in the works to produce lower sodium entrees.

3- READ THE FOOD LABEL! Remember to look at the size of the serving and how many servings are in the container, box, jar, whatever it may be. If a serving is 1 cup and there are 3 servings where there are 300mg of sodium per serving, well then there are 900mg of sodium in the whole thing.

4- BECOME CREATIVE! Use herbs and spices! Pick up a bottle of DASH (Salt free combo) and sprinkle that on your steamed broccoli! :-)

5- Drink water to flush out the extra sodium your body is carrying. Never hurt anyone to drink a little extra H2O anyway.

Email any questions to me at jensfoodienews@gmail.com and I hope everyone has learned a little bit more about sodium and what it does to your body.

Thank you for reading!
