EAT LOW SODIUM
By Nature's Path
Tags:
According to the American Heart Association, the ideal limit for sodium intake is 1,500 mg per day although unfortunately the average person consumes more than twice that amount. Excess sodium intake can lead to heart disease, increased risk of heart attacks and stroke, kidney damage, cancer, and osteoporosis.
HOW TO FOLLOW A LOW SODIUM DIET
No matter who you are, moderating your sodium intake is beneficial for your health.
NO TABLE SALT
The need for table salt to flavour dishes is a common misconception, and although it is effective, there are many great alternatives that will enhance flavor. Instead of salt, season your favorite dishes with fresh herbs and dried spices. Such spices include cayenne pepper, curry powder, and freshly ground pepper.
