Flavor with Herbs and Spices

Lower your sodium intake

According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, “A strong body of evidence in adults documents that as sodium intake decreases, so does blood pressure. Keeping blood pressure in the normal range reduces an individual’s risk of cardiovascular disease, congestive heart failure, and kidney disease. Therefore, people should limit their intake of sodium.”

But where to start?

Reducing your sodium intake can be a bit tricky, but “low sodium” doesn’t have to mean “low flavor!”

Replace salt with fresh or dried herbs for some serious flavor boosts. You can also try a variety of fun spices to add levels of complexity to a dish. Start small and taste frequently in order to get a dish that your taste buds love.
