Salt Tips #3

Use other things to flavor food instead of salt. Each time you sprinkle the salt shaker you're adding about 150 milligrams of sodium. Now think about it. When you shake the salt shaker do you only do it once? Three shakes and you're up to about 450 milligrams!

Use herbs, fruit juice, flavored vinegar or wine. One of my favorite things to do is to put fresh herbs in a small bottle of vinegar. Then use it as flavoring.

Here's another clue - don't add salt to cooking water of potatoes, rice, pasta or cereals.
