TIPS
- Try eating fewer convenience foods. It is estimated that 55% of the foods we eat
are processed.
- Sweet tasting foods may not taste salty, but they still can contain extra
sodium. Would you believe a cup of Jello Instant Pudding has as much sodium as a
dill pickle!
- Swiss Lorraine, mozzarella and string cheese have the least amount of
sodium among this group of foods.
- Gradually reduce the amount of salt in cooking. Start with cutting it in
half. A few weeks later, cut it in half again.
- Use lemon juice to season foods in restaurants.
- Try vegetable or fruit salsas to spice up your entree.
- Try seasoning chicken dishes with garlic, mushrooms, cranberries, orange
slices, wine, curry, paprika, parsley, sage and onion.
- Fish dishes can be seasoned with bay leaf, dry mustard, tomato, lemon,
green pepper and paprika.
- Try seasoning beef with bay leaf, marjoram, onion, fresh mushrooms, dry
mustard, green pepper and ginger.
- Pork can be seasoned with applesauce, apples, garlic, onion and sage.
- Ask for the nutritional information at fast food restaurants. Some entrees
can contain 1,500 to 2,000 milligrams of sodium! Order entrees from fresh
ingredients.
