4 smart ways to cut salt
Most Americans should have less than a teaspoon of salt daily. If you have high blood pressure, you may need even less. Flavorful herbs and spices can help reduce your reliance on salt. Try these other tricks:
- Buy low- or no-salt versions of your favorite foods.
- Eat fewer frozen dinners and canned soups.
- Buy fresh, not processed, meat and poultry.
- Rinse beans under running water to reduce the sodium level.
