Some of the saltiest foods out there don’t taste it...


Foods that don’t taste particularly salty could still be PACKED with sodium...  

If you’re watching your intake, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has some really salty food to beware of:

• Breads and rolls, especially bagels
• Deli meats and cured meats
• Pizza
• Fresh and processed poultry
• Soup
• Cheeseburgers and sandwiches
• Cheese
• Pasta dishes
• Meat dishes
• Salty snacks like pretzels, chips and popcorn

These are foods a lot of us eat multiple times a day, which puts us WAY above the daily recommended sodium intake of about 2,300 milligrams. Avoiding processed foods and mixing it up with good old fruits and vegetables is the easiest way to keep sodium levels in check.
