4 Easy Ways to Reduce Sodium Intake

1) Compare nutrition labels of canned foods for the lowest sodium content.

2) Rinse your food: Running water over canned tuna, salmon, and veggies can reduce sodium content by as much as 30%.

3) Swap salt for spices: Cook with fresh or dried herbs, salt-free seasoning blends, lemon juice, and flavored vinegars.

4) Choose wisely at restaurants: Check sodium content before ordering. Ask for low-salt dishes, and request sauce and dressing on the side.
