Best TIPS for a LOW SODIUM DIET
Has your doctor said you need to be on a low sodium diet? Are you having medical problems that could improve with a low salt diet? Are you working on feeling better and part of that is having less salt? If so, you clicked on the right video.
In this video, I will discuss what a low sodium diet is and why it is important to our health. I touch on what the average recommended salt intake is and how the American diet greatly exceeds that. Then I talk about my top tips on how to have a successful low sodium diet. First, don’t race towards the finish line – make small, consistent changes (even lowering your salt intake slightly will help). Second, break down the salt numbers and know how much salt you are eating at each meal, desserts, snacks, and drinks. Then make a plan to restrict sodium throughout the day so that you can enjoy your meals. Third, eat more fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables have potassium in excess of sodium, which helps balance out other salt intake, is healthier, and will fill you up. Fourth, replace salty foods with acidic foods. Try different dressings, sauces, and condiments. Fifth, change how you eat at restaurants. Try to skip appetizers, get simply prepared meats, be aware of condiments, and swap out sides for healthier options.
