    I eat frozen dinners every once in a while. I like banquet dinners. I know that frozen food can be high in sodium, which in a way that's the way the frozen food is preserved.

    This is a question for everyone. Do you cook with salt or any other seasoning that has salt in it? You don't have to eat frozen food to eat a lot of sodium a day. Salt has sodium in it as well.

    Yes, you have to watch the sodium in those frozen dinners. I keep lean cuisines and healthy choice in my freezer as well to eat once in a while. As long as you don't make it a habit then you should be fine. What you can do to balance out all that sodium is to pair one of those meals with something that's high in potassium, such as a banana, an apple, some prunes, or a drink a glass of coconut water!

    I use them quite a bit. I do try to bulk them up with some veggies, especially spinach, bell peppers and mushrooms.

    That is a good question. For me, growing up with father having issues with hypertension and BP issues, I learned at a early age not to use salt in cooking. I use other spices for flavor. Fresh ground pepper is what I use most. I know now when I eat too much salt my ankles blow up like balloons. Not fun. So I try to be as careful as possible.

    If you're worried about sodium drink more water. Simple as that
