Recently, I have been trying to cut out more sodium in my diet. I feel like everywhere I turn there is sodium (or salt if you will) in everything. I believe that the average American eats more than double of what the recommended sodium intake is for a day. It is recommended that a healthy adult American eat less than 2400 milligrams of sodium a day. To give you an idea of what this may look like is if you order a WHOPPER® Value Meal with a large coke and large fries you will have consumed 1860 mg of sodium*. That is almost fulfilling your recommended daily intake of sodium. I think that as American gets more conscious about their food choices and what they put in their mouth, they will realize that salt is not the best thing for you. Here is a cookbook that will help you lower your sodium intake and help you find low sodium recipes:
I have been trying to gather low sodium recipes for over a year now and I think that, even though I try and cook with low sodium recipes it is still a struggle to cut back on the salt.
