Reducing your sodium intake

If we ate only fresh, whole and natural foods, sodium intake would be cut right down, but for most folk, it is just not possible.

One solution is to prepare as many meals for the family and yourself at home, where you have the control over what is added to the food. That way you will be able to work out, more or less, how much salt the family is ingesting on the home front.

Another solution is to always opt for low sodium foods, and use natural herbs and spices for seasoning instead of salt.

A big plus will be to reduce eating in restaurants to a minimum – and do the same with all the take-away foods that can make life so easy when you are tired or in a rush!
