What Are Some Simple Ways To Reduce Sodium In My Diet?

1) Eat out less. Restaurant food is loaded with sodium. Eating out is fun but always keep in mind that a restaurant’s job is to make their food taste amazing so you want to come back again and again. Adding lots of fat, sugar and salt is how they make that happen.

2) Avoid processed and prepared foods. Fitness pioneer Jack LaLanne used to say “If man made it, don’t eat it”. The less processed the better.

3) Focus on whole foods in their natural form. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, lean proteins, legumes and whole grains are naturally low in sodium. These foods should make up the majority of your diet.
