Low Sodium

Low sodium refers to a diet or condition where you consume or have a reduced amount of sodium, a mineral found mainly in salt. Sodium helps regulate fluid balance and nerve function, but too much can lead to health problems like high blood pressure. A low sodium intake is often recommended for people with certain health conditions, such as hypertension or heart disease, to help manage their symptoms and reduce strain on the heart and blood vessels. This typically involves eating fewer processed foods, using less salt in cooking, and choosing fresh or naturally low-sodium products.
