Some tips to reduce sodium consumption, from the National Institutes of Health and American Public Health Association:
# Use spices instead of salt when cooking. Lemon juice, cayenne pepper and salt-free seasoning blends are alternatives.
# Eliminating salt during cooking in favor of sprinkling a smidgen at the table can cut sodium, as can using coarser salts that tickle the tongue more than fine grains.
# Buy fresh or plain frozen vegetables — those frozen with sauces add sodium. Or choose canned versions labeled “no salt added.”
# Choose “reduced sodium” versions of convenience products when available, and check nutrition labels to compare sodium contents of competing brands. Cut back on frozen dinners and packaged mixes that typically contain lots of sodium.
# Limit foods that are cured, such as bacon, or pickled, and sodium-packed condiments such as MSG, soy sauce and catsup.
# Rinsing certain canned foods, such as tuna, removes some sodium.
# Watch for salt code words on food labels and recipes: 1 teaspoon of baking soda equals 1,000 milligrams of sodium; MSG is a common sodium-containing ingredient.
# In restaurants, look for low-sodium foods on menus, and watch for terms that indicate lots of sodium: pickled, cured, broth, soy sauce.
# When ordering, request that your dish be prepared without salt. The National Restaurant Association says most restaurants will try to accommodate that request.
# The NIH advises healthy people to get no more than 2,400 milligrams of sodium a day; 1,500 mg for those with high blood pressure
