Talk to your doctor about your salt intake. Cut down on dietary salt. Eat more potassium. Try the DASH diet
If you're concerned that you are getting too much salt in your diet, discuss your concerns with your doctor or a registered dietitian. They can help you determine whether you need to cut back on your sodium intake, and how much sodium you should be getting in your diet. Your doctor or dietitian may be more likely to recommend that you cut back on your salt intake if you have certain health issues, like high blood pressure or diabetes. Doctors recommend that most healthy adults should consume no more than 2,300 mg (0.08 oz) of salt per day. If you eat a standard American diet, chances are that you are eating far more than the recommended dosage. You can cut down on your salt intake with a few simple changes: Trade pre-packaged foods for fresh ones. Pre-packaged meats, such as luncheon meats, bacon, or sausage, are often loaded with additional salt. Look for products that are labeled "low sodium." Check pre-packaged food labels carefully for sodium content. Cut salt out of recipes, when you can. Try spicing up your food with other seasonings, like salt-free pepper or garlic powder, instead. Potassium, like sodium, is an important electrolyte that your body needs to stay healthy. Most people eat too much sodium, and not enough potassium. Getting enough dietary potassium can help your body get rid of excess sodium. Good sources of potassium include: Baked potatoes, with the skin left on. Avocado. Bananas. Leafy green vegetables, like spinach or Swiss chard. Dairy products, like yogurt or milk. Beans and lentils. . Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, or DASH, is a diet that focuses on lowering your sodium intake and using healthy portion sizes. Depending on your needs, your doctor or dietitian may recommend a standard DASH diet or a lower sodium DASH diet. On a standard DASH diet, you can eat up to 2,300 mg (0.08 oz) of sodium per day. On a lower sodium diet, you can eat no more than 1,500 mg (0.05 oz) of sodium per day.
