If you’ve been paying attention to the news lately, there’s been an increased awareness of the negative impacts of consuming large amounts of sodium. Much of this sodium they’re talking about comes from processed foods. If you’re familiar with my blog, you’ll know I’m completely against processed-anything. This is even more of a reason why you should cook your own food. You can control what goes in it!
Salt brings out the true flavours of the food you’re cooking, but use it sparingly in your recipe. There’s no need to have a salt shaker on the table if your recipe is seasoned properly. Most of my recipes on here call for minimal addition of salt, with emphasis on flavoring with herbs. Fresh or dried herbs add tremendous flavor your dishes.
So, refrain from processed foods and over-use of salt and you shouldn’t need worry about unhealthy levels of sodium. Of course if you have heart disease, diabetes and/or high blood pressure, always go with what your doctor recommends.
