How to follow a low sodium diet

Here are fews tip on following a low sodium diet:

Eat fewer processed foods such as potato chips, frozen dinners and cured meats. Instead, eat more unprocessed, fresh foods, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meats, poultry, fish and unprocessed grains.

Choose foods labeled "low sodium" or "reduced sodium." Also do not rely on the labels and check the nutrition chart of every product you buy or use. Note sodium and portion size information.

Don't add salt to your food. Instead, use herbs and spices to flavor foods.

Do not drink water from water softeners as many water softeners use salt to get rid of the 'hardness' in water.
