The taste for salt is acquired, and you can train yourself to live without a lot of it in your diet.

Warning
Never change your diet without first consulting your physician.

Step 1: Use salt substitutes
Use salt substitutes to enhance the flavor of foods. Herbs, spices, citrus juices, onion or garlic powders, and salt-free seasoning blends are all good choices.

Step 2: Eat fresh foods
Aim for a diet rich in fresh foods, such as fruits and vegetables. Opt for dried or fresh fruit instead of salty snacks like pretzels and potato chips.

Tip
Opt for low-salt versions when purchasing processed foods. Frozen dinners, dried soups, canned foods, fast foods, and lunch meats are often available in low-salt versions.

Step 3: Watch condiments
Limit your use of salt-laden condiments. Salad dressings, sauces, dips, ketchup, mustard, and relish are all high in salt.

Step 4: Avoid salt when eating out
Avoid dishes that contain soy sauce or monosodium glutamate when dining out.
