I say more good reasons to love L.B.C, not only are you revising original recipes. Your saving money while eating the way you want in a healthier way.
Welcome to Hot Out Of The Oven food news, I have yet another edition of food news coming straight from no other source but, Living Better Cafe of course. As you have read through many editions of (H.O.T.O), since I have started this food news addition. You have became more wiser about what you buy,and place into your mouth. While I am very happy to continue to keep "Hot of the oven" going as much as you keep enjoy reading it every Monday. In this second January edition I will be bring you the benefits of Low sodium diet.
Most people throughout the united states eat much more sodium (salt) than they need. Which this can lead to health problems like high blood pressure. Even people with normal blood pressure will have lower (and healthier) blood pressure if they lower how much salt they eat. Your doctor may tell you to eat no more than 2,300 mg a day when you have these conditions.Like for some people, 1,500 mg a day is an even better goal.
How do we go about lowing our sodium intake? Try by eating a balanced diet.
Start by buying fresh vegetables and fruits whenever possible. They are naturally low in salt. Canned foods often contain salt to preserve the color of the food and keep it looking fresh. For this reason, it is better to buy fresh foods. Also that includes buying:
fresh meats, chicken or turkey, and fish, plus fresh or; frozen vegetables and fruits.
How do we go about searching for these words on the label? We start by looking for these key words.
1. Low-sodium
2. sodium-free
3. No salt added
4. Sodium-reduced
5. Unsalted
Then we check all labels for how much salt foods contain per serving sizes.
As the ingredients are listed in order of the amount the food contains. Avoid foods that list salt near the top of the list of ingredients. A product with less than 100 mg of salt per serving sizes is good.
We want to stray away from foods that are always high in salt. For example:
1. Processed foods, such as cured or smoked meats, bacon, hot dogs, sausage, bologna, ham, and salami.
2. Anchovies, olives, pickles, and sauerkraut.
3. Soy and Worcestershire sauces, tomato and other vegetable juices, and most cheeses.
4. Plus many bottled salad dressings and salad dressing mixes.(Hint: you're best bet is to make you're own dressing)
5. Most snack foods, such as chips, crackers, and others.
Now when it comes to us cooking, replace Ms. Dash with other seasonings. Pepper, garlic, herbs, and lemon are good choices. Avoid packaged spice blends. They often contain salt.
You want to use garlic and onion powder, not garlic and onion salt. You want to be on the look out for foods containing monosodium glutamate (MSG), which you do not want to eat.
Feel like treating yourself to a night out, stick to steamed, grilled, baked, boiled, and broiled foods with no added salt, sauce, or cheese. If you have any concerns about the restaurant using monosodium glutamate (MSG), ask them not to add it inside your meal.
Now how do we go about adding the taste of salt without the salt? Simple just by, using oil and vinegar on salads. Add fresh or dried herbs. Eat fresh fruit or sorbet for dessert, If you have a salt shaker at your dinning room table. Replace it by, using salt-free seasoning.
Now if you have any medical conditions ask your doctor if a salt substitute is safe for you. Especially antacids and laxatives which contains little or no salt, if you need these medicines. Some have a lot of salt in them.
