Reduce Your Sodium Intake

Tips To Reduce Your Sodium Intake
  • Consider adding lime for a zing of flavor.
    "Lime is the new salt: Squeeze it directly over meats, fish and veggies to quickly season your food and heighten flavors. Plus, it’s a healthier alternative to table salt. To get even more juice per squeeze, roll your limes between your hand and a hard surface (like the kitchen counter) or give them a quick 10-second zap in the microwave before you slice them open." ---via BzzAgent.com Taste of Mexico BzzGuide.
  • Experiment with herbs and spices. Find a blend --- or make your own --- that offers a flavor boost without adding salt.
  • Try different methods of cooking: grill, sauté, bake to create flavor variations.
