Subject: RE: High Blood Pressure, and Lower Sodium Diet American Heart Association website is a good one. You can also troll around www.menieres.org
I eat "LoSo" b/c of Meniere's. It's not easy; I'm supposed to be under 1gm of Sodium per day. RDA is 4gm and most of us eat twice that easily. Foods which are deadly and somewhat stealth:
Cheese
Pickles
Olives
Capers
Canned soup (canned anything not labeled low sodium )
Frozen Dinners (Scared straight: Read the label on Swanson's Turkey Hungry Man dinner )
Packaged rice
Instant anything
Hamburger helper (and the like )
Taco mix or any of those gravy packet things (McCormick's )
Good luck. Low Sodium diet wasn't enough to control the BP and isn't working well now for the Meniere's. Edited by pitt83 2008-09-03 6:43 PM
