Prioritize fresh poultry, fish, and lean meat over their canned or processed counterparts.
Enhance the flavor of your dishes by using herbs, spices, and salt-free seasoning blends while cooking and at the table.
Prepare rice, pasta, and hot cereals without adding salt. Reduce the consumption of instant or flavored rice, pasta, and cereal mixes that typically contain extra salt.
Opt for "convenience" foods that are lower in sodium. Minimize the consumption of frozen dinners, pizza, packaged mixes, canned soups or broths, and salad dressings, as they often contain high levels of sodium.
Drain canned foods like tuna to lower their sodium content.
When feasible, choose products that offer low- or reduced-sodium options or are labeled as "no-salt-added."
Select ready-to-eat breakfast cereals that have lower sodium levels.
