Tips to cut back on sodium

How to cut back on sodium in your diet:

Studies have shown that cutting back your sodium intake can lower your blood pressure and increase your hearts health. 
  • Using sodium-free spices or flavorings with your food instead of salt (MRS. DASH)
  • Not adding salt when cooking rice, pasta or hot cereal
  • Rinsing canned foods to remove some of the sodium
  • Buying foods labeled "no salt added," "sodium-free," "low sodium" or "very low sodium"
