If you’re like most Americans, you’re getting too much sodium from your diet. And the problem isn’t your salt shaker.
More than three-quarters of the sodium in the typical American diet comes from salt/sodium added by food and drink manufacturers. Naturally occurring sodium accounts for only 12%.
You should get no more than 1,500 milligrams (mg) of sodium per day (about 2/3 of a teaspoon) if you are aged 51 or older, have high blood pressure, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease, or are African-American. That’s half of the population.
We each have our own favorite salty foods and these are the 10 top salty temptations for my friends and I — and some alternatives that will still satisfy.
Temptations:
#1: Pretzels
#2: Bottled Pasta Sauce
#3: Ramen Noodle Soup packets
#4: Mixed Nuts
#5: Fast Food or Restaurant Spicy Tenders
#6: Tortilla Chips
#7: Bottled Salad Dressing
#8: Lunch Meats (processed meat slices)
#9: French Fries from Fast Food or Restaurants
#10: Fast Food Burger or Sandwich
