Lower the Salt and Keep the Taste

(Family Features) - Lowering your sodium intake is a smart component to any healthful eating plan. With a little salt sense, it's easy to create foods that taste good without reaching for the salt shaker. The key to reducing the amount of salt in a meal is to use high quality ingredients - from whole foods to simple spices. Products that are lighter in sodium allow the individual character of a food to shine through. Beef tastes like beef. Chicken tastes like chicken.

When there's no time to cook, consider the wide range of lower sodium ready-to-eat foods available today. Boar's Head, makers of quality deli products, offers lower sodium choices including meats, poultry, artisanal cheeses and beef frankfurters that are rich in natural flavors, proteins and essential nutrients. 
     
For instance, two ounces of Boar's Head Lower Sodium Turkey Breast (340 mg per 2 ounces) paired with two ounces of lower sodium cheese (35 mg per 2 ounces), lettuce and tomato on whole-grain bread, provides nutrition and flavor at a fraction of the recommended cap of  under 2,400 milligrams of sodium per day. For salads, lower sodium roast beef works well with a yogurt dressing accented with the taste of garlic and poppy seeds.
