"Should I stop eating salt if I have high blood pressure?

How much sodium per day? If you have high blood pressure, reducing sodium with a low sodium diet is a priority. Some sodium is necessary for health, but not much: about 500 milligrams a day is the minimum daily requirement. The upper limit, 2,300 mg, is equal to only about 1 teaspoon of salt."

Herbs, spices, and flavorful ingredients like garlic, onions, and turmeric are excellent salt alternatives. They enhance flavor without adding sodium. Pre-made herb mixes labeled as "salt-free" can also be a great option. Experimenting with these can make meals exciting and heart-healthy!
