What are some foods low in sodium?
I'm starting to look at my sodium intake and it's very very high! What are some foods and snacks that contain little to no sodium that won't derail my efforts? I drink a lot of water - 8 to 10 glasses a day usually so would more water help "flush" out the sodium as well?

I've been drinking it as cold as possible, which is tough for me because I have never really been a huge fan of ice water (it hurts my teeth).

WATER?
