Low Salt Plan

The Low Salt Diet Plan is great for your health – it will lower your blood pressure and reduce fluid retention, meaning your heart will benefit. Another benefit is that by using the Low-salt Plan, you’ll introduce your taste buds to new food flavours. After a few weeks on the plan, you’ll become much more aware of excess salt in your diet and will probably find it quite revolting!

While cutting your salt intake can be easier said than done as so any foods contain 'hidden' salt, by using this plan, you can make healthier, lower sodium choices. You can enjoy satisfying, tasty meals on a low sodium diet as it uses fresh herbs, spices and other healthy, tasty foods for satisfying meals. You can further reduce salt intake by selecting a recipe-based plan to avoid those high in salt processed convenience.

A day’s menu could be something like this: A tasty Wholemeal fruit scone with jam and fruit for breakfast. For lunch a yummy Moroccan cous cous salad. Dinner could be Chicken pasta with cheese and spinach sauce, salad, followed by a fruit mousse for dessert. A snack could be a refreshing Frozen yoghurt with fruit

To get the most out of the plan, do read nutrition labels on packaging when in the shops and compare products to find lower salt versions of foods like bread and breakfast cereal. Always pick ‘no added salt’ foods whenever possible. And limit how often you eat high sodium foods like ham, cheese and bread
