    My doctor wants me to cut sodium for my kidneys, but I love flavor. 🧂 How do you make a low-salt diet tasty without reaching for the salt shaker?

    Low salt diet tips

    Flavor substitutes that work

    Instead of salt Try
    Table salt 🧂 Lemon juice, vinegar, herbs 🍋
    Soy sauce Low-sodium soy or tamari
    Seasoning mixes 🧄 Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika
    Stock cubes 🥣 Homemade broth with herbs

    Reading labels

    • Aim for under 5–6g of salt per day total
    • Check per-serving sodium on packaged foods
    • Rinse canned vegetables before use
