Are you watching your sodium intake? Look out for most processed and frozen foods.
July 14, 2006 (Press Release) --
Applegate Farms Turkey
Lunch and deli meats are notorious for containing obscene amounts of salt. Applegate Farms is one of the few brands that have a reasonable salt content. And they use no nitrates in their meats. I "heart" Applegate Farms. Find their deli meats at Whole Foods and select supermarkets.
Healthy Choice Cheese Ravioli
If you love the convenience of frozen meals but hate their astronomical salt content, try Healthy Choice Cheese Ravioli (260 calories, 5 grams fat, 340 milligrams sodium). It's much lower in salt than the typical frozen meal. And who doesn't love ravioli?
Newman's Own No Butter/No Salt 94 Percent Fat-Free Microwave Popcorn
Popcorn can have hundreds of milligrams of sodium per serving. Thanks to Paul Newman, not this popcorn! With only 120 calories, 1.5 grams of fat and 30 milligrams of sodium per serving, this makes for an ideal guilt-free, low-salt snack. Go, Paul!
Chew on this:
Did you know that potassium helps neutralize sodium's effect on blood pressure? Stock up on foods that are high in potassium, like potatoes, bananas, lima beans and tuna.
