10 Easy Ways To Reduce Your Salt In-Take (3 of 6)

4. Restaurants often put too much salt on the foods they make. In fact, the burgers and fries at your favorite fast food joint often contain as much as 4 times the daily sodium limit! Choose small fries and a single patty burger. Share a dish. Ask for your food to be prepared with less salt. 

5. Be strategic about how you get your sodium in-take. Instead of blowing it all on salty snacks and heavily processed foods, sprinkle a little bit of salt on healthy items such as vegetables, wild rice, and beans in order to enhance the flavors.
