Low sodium recipes for Hypertension

A good way to reduce the quantity of sodium in the diet is to reduce the amount of added sodium (in the form of salt), and avoiding foods that are high in salt like pickles, chutneys, ketchups, salted nuts, salted breads and crackers/biscuits, other baked foods, packaged mixes and soups. When cooking, reduce the amount of salt required in the recipe by half and season it with herbs and lemon juice just before serving to make up for the taste. Include plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products in your daily diet.
