Sources of Salt and How to Cut Back




 
 

5.Bread
They might not taste salty, but breads are often very high in sodium. And you won’t be able to tell by how “healthy” they sound. For instance, a slice of whole-wheat bread may pack 150 mg of sodium. An oat bran bagel can have 600 mg, which is more than a quarter of all the sodium you should eat in a day!

 

6.Pizza
Some toppings, like pepperoni, have a lot of salt in them. Because of that, the healthiest way to enjoy pizza may be to make it at home. If you order out, choose a thin, not thick, crust. Skip meat toppings and extra cheese, top it with veggies, and don’t have more than two slices.
