🧂 Cut the Salt, Not the Flavor! 🥦
Reading nutrition labels is your secret weapon for a low-sodium lifestyle. Here’s what to look for:

✅ Check the Serving Size – Sodium is listed per serving.
✅ Look for “Low Sodium” – That means 140 mg or less per serving.
✅ Watch for Hidden Salt – Terms like sodium nitrate, monosodium glutamate (MSG), baking soda = extra sodium.
✅ Choose “No Salt Added” or “Unsalted” when possible.
✅ 5% Daily Value (DV) or less is low. 20% or more? That’s high!

🛒 Pro tip: Compare similar products side-by-side and go with the lower sodium option. Your heart will thank you ❤️

Low Sodium Beverage Ideas:
If you’re managing high blood pressure, what you drink matters just as much as what you eat. Choose low-sodium beverages that support your heart health:
🥒 Infused Water – Add cucumber, lemon, or mint
🍵 Herbal Teas – Naturally calming and sodium-free
🥥 Unsweetened Coconut Water – Potassium-rich and hydrating
🍓 Fruit & Veggie Smoothies – Made with fresh ingredients and no added salt
💧 Sparkling Water – All the bubbles, none of the sodium!
🧂 Skip the salt, not the flavor. Your heart will thank you.
✔️ Always check labels—some drinks hide surprising sodium amounts!

🔥 Skip the Store-Bought Sauces & Marinades 🔥
Most BBQ sauces, ketchup, and marinades = sodium bombs 🧂💣

That tangy bottle might taste great, but it could pack 300mg+ of sodium per tablespoon 😱 — not kidney or heart-friendly.

💡 Better Option? DIY it!
Make your own flavorful, low-sodium marinade or sauce:

🥄 Ingredients:
• No-salt-added tomato paste
• Apple cider vinegar
• Olive oil
• Spices: smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder
• Optional: a touch of honey or molasses for sweetness

🔁 Mix, marinate, and grill! Flavorful, heart-smart, and kidney-safe ❤️🔥

✅ Tastes amazing
✅Easy to make
✅No hidden sodium
