It is not by chance that salt is called "white death". And who can completely give up salt in their diet?
This ingredient seems essential, but it's not that simple. You can reduce your salt intake without losing the taste and enjoyment of your food.
It is important to start slowly and gradually reduce the amount of salt in the food you cook. Your taste buds need to get used to the new level of salt as you gradually reduce the amount.
Instead of salt, you can add a variety of aromatic herbs and spices to your dishes, such as:
• basil;
• oregano;
• rosemary;
• garlic;
• ginger;
• turmeric and others.
These spices will help maintain optimal taste and aroma.
Processed foods often contain large amounts of salt. It is necessary to limit their consumption and give preference to fresh or naturally processed foods.
Carefully read nutrition labels on food packages and choose those that contain less salt. Pay particular attention to sodium content.
You can make homemade sauces and dressings to control the amount of salt you add, allowing you to enjoy the flavors of your food without the added sodium.
Try cooking without adding salt, relying on the natural flavors of ingredients and aromatic additives.
It is possible to use alternatives to salt, such as:
1) seaweed;
2) low sodium salt substitutes;
3) green algae.
They will help add flavor to dishes without adding excess sodium.
It is important to avoid overeating salty snacks and snacks such as chips, salted nuts and popcorn. These can always be replaced with healthy alternatives such as fresh fruit, nuts or vegetable snacks.
There are also refreshing alternatives to the salty taste. The most popular include:
• sour marinades;
• lemon juice;
• vinegar sauces.
They will add brightness and piquancy to dishes.
You can also learn new recipes and cooking techniques that will help you create delicious dishes with minimal salt content.
This simple step will help maintain heart health and overall health.
