    great :-) but it depends which Swiss cheese... I live in Switzerland and we have a lot of sorts with a huge amount of sodium... I don't know, maybe in the US "Swiss cheese" is just one of them... :-) Good luck everyone

    Haha - yes - at American grocery stores, there is one type of cheese generally labeled 'Swiss Cheese' and it has about a quarter the sodium than cheddar, gouda, mozzarella, etc.

    Good to know :D have to try this "Swiss cheese" one day ^^

    Yes, OUR "Swiss" Cheese is a relatively hard, white cheese. It has a slightly bitter flavor, though, so it's not one I like to eat by itself. I like to have a slice rolled up in a piece of Sara Lee Lower Sodium Ham or Turkey, or with a serving of grapes or apple slices.

    Stay away from fast food, pre-packaged food, and canned food. Sometimes they have low sodium versions of things, or no salt added canned things. Still should check labels though, because low sodium doesn't always mean much. :P

    Just eat more whole foods if you want to reduce sodium, like others have said. :)

    Fruits

    Vegetables

    Pasta and rice made with unsalted water

    Swiss cheese

    Fresh meat (not deli meat, or chicken/pork that's been plumped with saline)

    Make your own bread

    Cook beans from dry instead of canned

    Make your own salad dressings

    Honestly, if you make things from scratch instead of buying canned/packaged/processed, it's pretty easy to keep sodium in check.
