Healthy Low Sodium Recipes

These healthy low sodium recipes pack a lot of flavor.

When it comes to “natural” ways to improve blood pressure, most experts agree that eating a low-salt diet is a smart strategy. Laying off the salt shaker now can provide big health payoffs later. Studies show that those who reduce their sodium intake have lower blood pressure and are less likely to have a heart attack, stroke or other complications of cardiovascular disease. But just because you have to limit the salt in your diet doesn’t mean you have to shortchange your taste buds. We’ve hand-picked some of our favorite low sodium main-dish and side recipes that contain no more than 480 milligrams and 360 milligrams of sodium per serving respectively. These recipes are so delicious, we promise you won’t even miss it.

I have looked at 3 of the recipes and they are not truly low sodium. the definition of low sodium is less than 140 mg per serving. You should define them as lower in sodium, not low sodium. Thanks.

I am searching for sodium FREE meals, not low sodium. Thanks.

I, too, am very disappointed in the low sodium recipes. My husband has CHF and is allowed 1500-2000mg of sodium/day... these recipes exceed any guidelines suggested. Very disappointed. I will not buy this magazine for this reason.

The low sodium recipes are not low sodium. I'd starve if using them, as I need to stay under 1200 mg per day. Please work harder on your low sodium offerings.

I cant find good low sodium recipes anywhere that arent crazy expensive. what are we supposed to do?

I agree - i am only 26 and have very high BP - have to cut sodium hugely from my diet and these recipies would kill me! I find that cooking with whole foods, nothing processed is the simplest solution - most recipes can be modified by yourself by just becoming aware of products that pack sodium and not using them.
