🍎 Health Hack: Put the Brakes on Sodium

Cut Back on Sodium

• Look at Nutrition Facts labels and try to choose prepared foods that have less than 5% of the Daily Value of sodium per serving.
• Use fresh poultry, fish, and lean meat, rather than canned, smoked, or processed.
• Choose fresh or frozen vegetables that have no added salt.
• Rinse canned foods to remove some of the sodium.
• Add less salt—or none—when cooking.
• Use reduced-sodium bouillon, dressings, and sauces like soy sauce.
• Use fresh herbs and buy spices and blends without added salt.
• Cook at home instead of eating out, when possible. But when eating out, ask that no extra salt be added to your food.
