About the low sodium diet

Our body uses sodium to regulate fluid balance.  But if you suffer from high blood pressure or heart disease it can be harmful, because sodium could cause your body to retain too much fluid.  This can be managed by reducing sodium in your diet.  This Low Sodium Diet limits sodium to 2,400 milligrams per day, and relies on fresh herbs, spices and other healthy products to flavor food.

Switching to a Low Sodium Diet can be tricky, as sodium can be found in a variety of products we don't expect.  Here are some products to watch when following a Low Sodium Diet:

• Table Salt
• Common medications like antacids, laxatives, and cough remedies
• Fast food restaurants' food is high in sodium
• Water Softeners
