Do you have favorite foods with low salt? I have High Blood Pressure

Hi, my husband has the same problem. The rule of thumb: If its canned, we don't eat it. The only exception is that there are no sugar added fruit cocktail that has a minimal amount if in water or pear juice. There is just an obscene amount of sodium in just about any canned food. I nearly fell over when "reduced sodium" chicken broth had over 500 mg per serving! So we have replaced canned everything with fresh everything. And that has helped immensely. We also use Mrs. Dash or herbs to season our foods and don't use any salt. This way, the trace amounts of salt that naturally occurs in some foods he can eat just fine. Another high sodium food is deli meats and bacon. We have made our own salad dressing with organic apple cider vinegar, honey and a few shakes of the "italian seasonings" bottle. I guess I would just advise - if its in a can rethink it and read the label. And stay away from the deli counter. All the rest is about portion control. Liberally eat from the produce section, find your organic or natural supermarket for more choices too. Lean chicken you can make and eat - its all in how you prepare it, too. And turkey - periodically cook a real turkey, doesn't have to be thanksgiving sized and use the meat from that instead of from the dli counter.

they have a salt substitute out. my dad has high blood pressure and he uss it all the time. you can find it by the salts, you juz have to read the labels to make sure you get the right one.

yes, i simply cook with little or no salt at all, no matter the food, you can substitute seasonings and other flavors for the salt

Hey writersedge . . . I eat everything without salt because I can't stand how it alters the natural goodness of something. Anything. I think the best way to prepare low-salt or no-salt foodstuffs is use no-salt or low-salt items. If you have a food processor make a puree of tomatoes, onions, garlic, oregano, basil, thyme and a little rosemary for meats to be used in Italian-like dishes; for your Asian flair dishes add the marinade of oranges, soy, cinnamon, ginger and worcesterschire to beef or pork or chicken. Experiment and yes it does take getting used to cooking with no salt besides using none extra at the table, but its worth it your palatte will thank you ! Fresh herbs are so much tastier than salt but don't leave out pepper ! sharing the light, Miss Erica Hidvegi, the Enlightenment Advisor, B.A. Psych/M.A. Transpersonal Studies- Cnslng/Author, Artist, Photographer, Entrepreneur & Freelance extraordinaire
