Describe any three ways to reduce one's sodium intake without radically changing the diet
• People can read food labels carefully and compare products in order to select foods providing up to 2300 mg (or 1500 mg) of sodium a day. If a canned soup has 800 milligrams of sodium, a person can select a different brand of soup or find a lower-salt alternative that may only provide 200-300 milligrams of sodium. A person can keep a "running total" of sodium by reading labels and adding up the sources.
• People can use spices to make foods taste interesting. Added salt does bring out the flavor in foods, but some spices can, too. People can read labels to select low-sodium condiments since these items often contribute a lot of added salt to a person's diet.
• People can replace cold cuts or foods preserved in brine with fresh foods that contain less salt.
