  1. Read food labels. Sodium content is always listed on food labels. Sodium content differs from brand to brand. Hence, compare and choose the lowest sodium product. Certain foods may not taste salty but are actually high in sodium, for instance cottage cheese. So, it is important to check labels.
  2. Use fresh meats, fruits and vegetables instead of their packaged counterparts, which have high sodium content.
  3. Avoid spices and seasonings with added sodium, such as garlic salt. Opt for garlic powder instead.
  4. Many restaurants list the sodium content of their products on their websites. So, check online before dining out. You can also request for your food to be prepared without added salt.
  5. Try to spread your sodium intake out throughout the day; it’s easier on your kidneys than eating lots of salt all at once.
