Opt for fresh beef, chicken, or pork instead of packaged ones. Fresh meats have natural sodium compared to processed meat products.
Opt for fresh fruits and vegetables, as they are naturally very low in sodium. Canned and frozen fruits are also good low-sodium options.
Read food labels regularly, as sodium content is always listed. In products like apple pie, high sugar levels can sometimes hide high sodium content, so it’s essential to check each label.
Choose spices or seasonings that do not label sodium levels, such as opting for garlic powder instead of garlic salt.
Be cautious of products like cottage cheese, which may not taste particularly salty but still contain high levels of sodium.
