Answer to Question 1
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.
