Use Herbs to minimize the use of Salt in Your Cooking
You can minimize the use of salt in your food by substituting herbs and spices in your cooking. Dried herbs, herb seasoning blends as herbal salt substitutes are readily available to you for flavoring your favorite dishes. Fresh herbs are readily available in the summer (or you can grow your own in your kitchen) and capture their fresh wonderful flavor. Use three times as much of a fresh herb as you would of its dried counterpart.
You can experiment with your own combinations of flavors. Start with small amount of herbs in the beginning; taste the dish as you cook it and add more as you like. A dash of lime or lemon juice enlivens virtually any dish. Here is a suggested list of herbs you can use in your cooking. You are only limited by your imagination.

What is the daily recommended amount of sodium for adults?
A. The amount of salt in a food is listed as “sodium” on the Nutrition Facts label that appears on food packaging. The Dietary Guidelines recommend that the general population consume no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium a day (about a teaspoon of table salt). Most food labels shorten the word “milligrams” to “mg.” Dietary recommendations and food labels use sodium rather than salt since it is the sodium component of salt that is most relevant for human health. Always follow your doctor’s recommendation about how much sodium you can have daily.
Q. How can I tell if a food is low in sodium or high in sodium?
A. The Nutrition Facts label that appears on food packaging also lists the “% Daily Value” for sodium. Look for the abbreviation “%DV” to find it. Foods listed as 5% or less for sodium are low in sodium. Anything above 20% for sodium is considered high. Try to select foods that provide 5% or less for sodium, per serving.
