Some products, such as Lite Salt, are not true substitutes because they contain both sodium chloride and potassium chloride, and therefore are not free of sodium. One of the best sodium substitutes can be a spice mixture suited to your own taste. There are other sources of sodium that aren't as obvious as the foods we eat. Softened water, bottled waters, medications and chewing tobacco are sources of hidden sodium. Be aware of the amount of salt added in cooking and at the table, and consciously try to limit it.
Small changes can significantly reduce sodium intake.
