Although there’s not really a perfect health plan that’s ideal for every person (since everyone is different), there’s lots of research that shows that limiting your sodium intake can benefit certain people (mostly those who are older or have high blood pressure).
If you are indeed trying to limit your sodium intake, you can still eat flavorful foods that will leave you happy and full. Try to stay away from packaged foods and stick with herbs and spices for bumping up the flavor profile of your foods. Tip: if you’re eating out, most restaurants will have a nutrition guide that can help you in your decision.
