You don’t have to try hard to consume your daily requirements for salt. As a matter of fact, we unfortunately consume too much every day without even realizing it. Here are some guidelines to help keep the salt intake at a safer level:
- choose products with less than 200mg of salt per serving
- thoroughly rinse your canned goods whenever possible as this will remove excess salt
- substitute salt with seaweed flavourings like Arame, Hijiki, Dulse, Wakame, Kelp or salt-free alternatives like Mrs. Dash
