I have issues with sodium content as well. I've been using something called "no salt", it comes in a white shaker and is sold by the seasonings. Mrs. Dash products are all sodium free too.

You don't need to use the salt shaker at all. You will get used to eating foods without salt but it takes a little while. I haven't used additional salt in my foods for over 20 yrs. Dr. told me when I was diagnosed with HBP to lose the sale shaker. I did, and although I still have to take meds. my BP is always normal. You can't avoid sodium at all, it is in almost every food we eat and the restaurants are the worst, especially fast food. I was shocked at how much sodium there was in a Subway veggie sandwich. The bread was the culprit. So if you think you are eating without sodium, think again. It is hidden in there. Just say'n. Good Luck to you in controlling your sodium. 1500 mg a day is what the American Heart Assoc. recommends and so does my Dr. Take a lot of self control.:flowerforyou:
