Low-Sodium Diet Tips
Hi, this is Rachel Richardson with Nutrolution in South Beach, Miami, Florida. We are talking about how to eat a low sodium diet using my low-sodium diet tips. I have clients actually go through and look at their food labels and read them and try to add up all their sodium in a day. You can follow a low sodium diet doing that, but the easiest and probably the most healthy way to follow a low sodium diet is to eat foods that don’t have food labels. When they don’t have food labels, they’re not processed and processed foods are the biggest antagonist of high sodium.
Stick to whole foods, like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds that are unsalted, beans that are unsalted, your oils, your avocados, your proteins, your natural meats, not your processed meats that have labels. You will be well on your way to reducing all the sodium you need to be a very healthy person. This is Rachel Richardson and this has been how to eat a low sodium diet..
The low-sodium diet is a diet that restricts the intake of sodium to less than 2,300 milligrams per day.
Low-sodium diets are used in cases where people have high blood pressure or are at risk for developing it.

A low-sodium diet is a diet that limits sodium intake to less than 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day. A low-sodium diet may be prescribed by a doctor if you have high blood pressure, kidney disease, or heart failure.
The following are some low-sodium tips for healthy eating:
* Choose fresh foods over processed foods. This includes fresh meat and vegetables over frozen dinners or canned soups. Processed foods often contain more sodium than fresh foods do.
* Read food labels carefully to make sure you are not consuming more sodium than you think you are. The Nutrition Facts label is required on most packaged food items in the United States and will list the amount of sodium in milligrams found in one serving size of that product.
