Avoid Excess Sodium

Salt causes your body to hold onto additional water. Excessive stored water raises your blood pressure, which then puts pressure on your kidneys, arteries, heart, and brain. Avoid processed foods such as hotdogs, luncheon meat, and bacon, which are high in sodium. Also, stay away from sodium-rich condiments such as soy sauce, ketchup, mustard, and salad dressings.*

Consider the seasoning brand Mrs. Dash, which is salt-free and comes in assorted flavors. Other low-salt seasonings that add great flavor to food include garlic, tarragon, ginger, curry powder, chives, cinnamon, and vinegar.
