Great post! If I buy conveinence foods (frozen dinners and soups) I typically try to get products that are lower sodium such as Amy’s products. They taste so good and are good for you!
I will have to try the lentil soup. Sounds good!

Since I have decreased the sodium in my diet, I have felt so much better. I think I never noticed how much sodium was in my diet, because I assumed there wasn’t much. I never add it to foods (well, not much) and I rarely eat out and eat very little processed foods. However I think I was still getting too much! It’s crazy how much you notice once you start paying more attention.
Great post.

I just got to try Amy’s burritos and I got a TON of coupons in the mail this week. I’m really excited! With all the convenience foods, restaurants, etc…we over-consume SO much sodium. Patients I counsel for hypertension, edema, whatever it may be, I feel sorry for – 1,500 mg is like NOTHING! EVERYTHING has some sodium in it and it all adds up! Great information!

Soup looks fantastic! Sometimes low sodium varieties can lack in the yum department but i’m sure with the carrots and all the other veg it still has a kick. I love using salt free seasonings like Mrs. Dash too!

Great sodium reminder! I try to stay away from packaged and canned foods as much as I can and when I buy them, I go for the low/no sodium variety. I have found that adding lots of herbs really helps spice them up.

I buy my can vegtables in the no salt added selectiion, but my husband always add tons of salt to everything. I do cook with some salt, but he always adds lots more. It makes me nevous because we are not getting any younger and we need to start thinking about these things we have two small kids. I will definitly tell him to read this info. Thanks for the info!!!!
