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.
