Hi everyone πŸ‘‹

We know that salt plays a major role in high blood pressure, but cutting it out isn’t always as easy as it sounds. Processed foods, cold cuts, cheese… salt seems to hide in so many everyday meals!

Have you found ways to reduce your salt intake?

What tricks do you use to add flavour to your meals without reaching for the salt shaker?

Is there a go-to recipe or alternative you’d recommend to others?$

Unfortunately I suffer from hyponatremia regularly, so have to take 6 salt tablets daily to keep my sodium levels under control.

The funny thing is that I do not use a salt shaker or put salt on my meals.
