Reduce Salt

How to reduce salt in your daily diet? Here are nine tips that can followed ..

  1. When buying vegetables that are fresh, frozen or canned "with no salt added."
  2. Use fresh poultry, fish, and lean meat rather than canned or processed types.
  3. Use herbs, spices and salt-free seasoning blends in cooking and at the table.
  4. Cook rice, pasta and hot cereals without salt. Cut back on instant or flavored rice, pasta, and cereal mixes ...hmmm even indo-mie goreng ehh :)
  5. Choose convenience foods that are lower in sodium. Cut back on frozen dinners, packaged mixes, canned soups or broths and salad dressings. Well, CQ thinks that having these types of food occasionally should be alright ..yeah :)
  6. Rinse canned foods, such as tuna to remove some sodium ..hmmm CQ doubt anyone will follow this tip ..huhu
  7. Buy low-sodium or reduced-sodium or no-salt-added versions of foods. CQ knows some of you will go eeewwww lols
  8. Choose breakfast cereals that are lower in sodium.
  9. Snack on fruits and vegetables instead of chips. It is best to encourage young children to eat healthy snacks to maintain a good eating habit ..yeah? hmm

It is best to live a hyperactive and healthy life than living with hypertension the rest of your life!
