Spice it up!!





These are some things that go along with the DASH diet. Since lowing sodium is important- Here are some helpful tips:

Cutting Back on Sodium
• Prepare foods at home so you can control the amount of salt and the sodium content.
• Use as little salt in cooking as possible. You can cut at least half of the salt from most
recipes.
• Do not salt food at the table.
• Cook without mixes and “instant” products that already contain salt or additives with
sodium.
• Select no-sodium or low-sodium canned foods, such as vegetables or tuna.
• Season foods with herbs, spices, garlic, onions, peppers, and lemon or lime juice to add
flavor.




When cooking, the following items may be used for flavoring instead of salt or seasonings that contain sodium.
