make a LOW SODIUM DIET suck a little less // tips from a dietitian

Millions of people are paying attention to how much salt they eat for heart health. Are you one of them?

In this video, I'll be sharing some of my favorite tips for making a low sodium diet taste better. It's no secret, a little salt enhances the other flavors in our food, but too much of a good thing isn't always a good thing. Especially when it comes to sodium and its effect on blood pressure or risk of heart disease.

What are your thoughts on combining MSG and potassium chloride? Thx.

Great tips! I love MSG, it really brings out the flavour to many dishes. Cheers!

I am new to MSG stuff. Never had the sterotype of MSG being bad. We actually have no idea about the sterotype thing. We rarely go to asian stores, because we don't know what to actually buy when we are in the store, our family don't know what things are used for. Will see if i can find Msg tomorrow to try on food.

I was near high blood pressure, which is coming down due to weight loss. I have reduced my salt to 3.75g per day. I walk 1 hour and 15 mins per day. Last week I lost 5 lbs. I am on a restricted calories to 1600 and I have decided I will live within those parameters going forward.

The trouble is I am actually having trouble getting enough calories on lower salt.

I can't eat nuts, cereals, oats or eggs due to IBS and anismus without getting ill. So making up calories whilst ensuring I am under 30g per day sugar is becoming stressful. I am supposed to be becoming healthy and less stressed yet its pure stress planning every day. In the UK the shops are packed with foods with salt and sugar. Thats the food they make cheap and affordable. Can anyone help?

MSG is great btw. I am Scottish but I use it alot. I love Chinese food.

It would have never occurred to me to mix MSG with salt! Also appreciate you talking the anti-MSG propaganda. Great video with unique and more sustainable tips.

Also drinking a lot of water lowers your blood pressure.

If you become a vegetarian you will get a LOT more potassium in your diet.Potassium is also in beans, potatoes, tomatoes AND bananas.
