Sodium can make you fat, can give you high blood pressure, migraines,etc. and can kill you.
Watch you nutrition labels when buying anything in a box, can, or bag. Look at both amount and serving size. Why? There is a big difference between 180 mg of sodium per cup and 180 mg of sodium per oz. Do the same with calories, sugar, etc.
Processed food has little or NO nutritional value most of the time. We need a variety of nutrients, vitamins and minerals, working together to stay healthy.
Try to shop the produce and meat dept. Stay away from center aisles. Frozen and dairy. shop Low or no fat dairy products and buy Frozen veggies.
Avoid sauces, gravies, dressings, spices, and soups as they may include high sodium content. Flavor your food yourself with Olive Oil and your own natural spices.
