Buy fresh, frozen (no sauce), or no-salt- added canned vegetables. Use fresh poultry, fish, pork, and lean meat, rather than canned or processed meats. When available, buy low-sodium, lower- sodium, reduced-sodium, or no-salt-added versions of products. Limit sauces, mixes, and "instant" products, including flavored rice and ready-made pasta. Compare Nutrition Facts labels on food packages for percent Daily Value or amount of sodium in milligrams.
