How to lower your sodium intake


Opportunities To You 


Although sodium is something your body needs to function properly, most people eat too much of it. The recommended total daily intake of sodium is no more than 2,400 milligrams of sodium. This is just a little more than a teaspoon of salt. Standard American diet of processed foods contain more sodium than this, and many Americans are feeling the effects. Excessive sodium can contribute to high blood pressure and heart disease, so it is wise to try to reduce your sodium intake. If you work in effectively reducing sodium intake, here are some tips to help.

Firstly, processed foods eliminate as much as possible of their diet. From stale hamburger for spaghetti sauce, canned vegetables, processed foods contain salt. As a matter of fact, most of the processed food without salt not sure. This is because food manufacturers use salt instead of spices and other flavorings to mask the taste of processing. Cook the same food from scratch would significantly reduce their sodium content. Cook the vegetables, make your own spaghetti sauce, or cook your own dish is not only less expensive is tastier and better for your heart than processed foods.

As you start to cook more meals from scratch you, get to know your way around your spice cabinet. Most people use only a small handful of spices. Use more herbs and spices to add flavor and cooking will reduce the amount of salt that food you need to feel good. If you are just starting to use the spices you may feel more comfortable with the spice mixture. There are several on the market that does not contain salt. While this is more expensive than using their own spices, can be an effective and easy way to enhance the flavor of your food without adding salt.

Although it may seem counter intuitive  flavoring your food while cooking, will reduce the amount of salt you need when you come to the table food. A pinch of salt in a dish during cooking eliminates the need for potentially more salting and salting food before eating. If you use good spices and seasoning your food while cooking, you may be able to eliminate the need for a salt shaker on the table at all.

One of the most important sources of sodium in the diet of many canned broths are used to make soups and many other dishes tastes. While this can be quick and easy soups that are low in flavor and high in sodium. Instead, try making chicken stock homemade and freeze in small portions for use in the kitchen. Chicken stock homemade is a great way to use things that would otherwise go to waste and create products that are healthy and taste better than you can buy at the store. the trend news
