Diet Chart For low sodium

Creating a diet chart for low sodium involves choosing foods that naturally contain less sodium and avoiding or limiting high-sodium foods. Here's a sample diet chart to help you get started:

• Scrambled Eggs with Spinach and Tomatoes (cooked with minimal salt)
• Whole Grain Toast
• Fresh Fruit Salad (without added salt)

• Greek yogurt with fresh berries
• unsalted nuts (eg, almonds, walnuts)

• Grilled Chicken Salad with Mixed Greens, Cucumbers, Bell Peppers and Vinaigrette Dressing (made with minimal salt)
• quinoa or brown rice on the side
• Sliced Cantaloupe for Dessert

• Carrot and Celery Sticks with Hummus (Choose low-sodium hummus or make your own)
• fresh fruit (eg, apples, pears)

• Poached or grilled fish (eg, salmon, cod) with lemon and herbs.
• steamed vegetables (for example, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans) with a drizzle of olive oil
• Mashed Sweet Potatoes (without added salt)

• Air-popped popcorn (lightly salted or unsalted)
• Herbal tea

Remember that when following a low-sodium diet, it's important to read food labels and choose products labeled "low sodium," "no added salt," or "sodium-free." Also, try to cook at home as much as possible so that you can control the amount of salt in your food. Fresh, whole foods generally contain less sodium than processed and packaged foods.

Additionally, consider using herbs, spices and other flavor enhancers to add flavor to your food without relying on salt. Lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, ginger and various herbs can provide a lot of flavor without the need for excessive salt.

Consulting a healthcare professional or registered dietitian is recommended before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have specific health conditions that require dietary modification. They can provide personalized guidance based on your individual needs and health goals.
