LESS INTAKE OF SALT..

Almost all foods contain some sodium naturally.
Dairy products, meats and fish are generally higher
in natural sodium than fruits, vegetables and grains.
Most of the sodium we consume comes from the  added 
salt. The salt we add in cooking and at the table, 
and salt that is added to processed foods. 
Sodium also occurs in several commonly used food
ingredients, such as baking soda, baking powder
and soya sauce, as well as in many food additives 
and preservatives such as sodium nitrate. 
To reduce amount of sodium in your diet:
Follow these simple guidelines:
1. Remove the salt shaker from the table:
2 Go easy on spices and condiments:
To increase food taste try adding new flavors 
like lemon|lime juice, onion, garlic, green chilies,
pepper, vinegar or even a pinch of 
sugar| honey|jaggery (if you are not diabetic).
3 Use less of  canned or processed foods.
4 Less of fast foods.
5 Eat less of non vegetarian food also. 
 So try to use less of salt.
Reduce Your Salt Intake, Remove the salt shaker from the table..
