Go Cold Turkey — Almost
The more salt you eat, the greater the potential rise in your blood pressure — so people with hypertension should consume no more than 1,500 mg of sodium a day. One surefire way to reduce your intake: Take the saltshaker off the table, and try not to add salt to foods you prepare at home. If you miss the flavor, experiment with some of the
salt substitutes on the market. When you do use salt, use a coarser salt with less sodium per teaspoon, like
kosher salt and certain coarse-grain sea salts.
