It's Your Choice

Watching your sodium intake can seem like a constant list of "avoids". Rather than being discouraged by what you can't have, try substitutions within the same food groups. For example, three ounces of salmon has fifty milligrams (mg.) of sodium, a better choice than the same amount of tuna at three hundred mg. One ounce of Swiss cheese saves you one hundred mg. over the same amount of cheddar (one hundred-seventy five mg.). One cup of canned corn contains an astounding three hundred eighty four mg. of sodium versus the frozen corn that contains only seven. Simple substitutions like these will support your move to a low sodium diet.
