It's National "More Herbs, Less Salt" day! On average, Americans consume more than twice the recommended amount of sodium per day (according to CDC data). One of the best aways to reduce your sodium intake is to eat less processed, packaged and preserved goods. Instead choose more fresh, whole and home-prepared food.
Low sodium diets are often thought to be "bland", but ditching the salt does not mean giving up flavor! In fact, using a variety of salt-free seasonings, spices and herbs can invigorate your tastebuds in ways you may not have thought possible! For tips on how to maximize your food's flavor without the salt shaker, check out VA's nutrition information for sodium controlled diets: https://www.nutrition.va.gov/Heart_Health.asp
