Too much sodium makes your menu or diet plan less healthy. Fortunately, there are a few tips you can use to change the situation. They are simple and effective.

Think of a better eating-out alternative
If you often dine out, then you will definitely want to reconsider your usual eating-out habits. We are happy to report that you can choose from plenty of restaurants where you will be offered vegetarian, vegan and low-carb dishes. It is not an issue at all to tell the waiter not to add salt to your dishes. If it’s a fast-food restaurant, then read the labels and avoid snacks where there is too much sodium.

Distraction for your taste buds
You may not like foods that contain little or no salt at all. Either stay patient and try to get used to the new tastes and flavors or replace salt with spices and herbs. As a rule, you may need up to two weeks to learn to love your low-salt dishes like fish, meat and soup. Instead of sodium you can add rosemary and thyme. It’s great if you like cumin and cayenne. The number of spices and herbs is huge and there is always something interesting, exotic and unique. Besides, all herbs and spices have health benefits while sodium doesn’t.
