10 Easy Ways To Reduce Your Salt In-Take (5 of 6)

8. Choose healthy cooking oils. We understand that you don’t just want to eat a bland piece of baked chicken for dinner. But fortunately, you don’t have to. Cooking with olive, canola, or even avocado oil can add richness and flavor to your foods minus the salt. 

9. Try different cooking methods. When you put some onions, chicken and mushrooms into a pan and lightly sauté them with oil, it really brings out the natural flavors of these foods. In fact, it’s like having a gourmet meal every night! If you prefer to steam your foods or use a microwave, you can still finish it off by drizzling some olive oil and squeezing some fresh lemon into the dish.
