7.Meats
Ready-to-eat deli meats and cold cuts such as packaged ham and turkey can be loaded with sodium. Other super-salty items include cured meats like bacon, sausage, and even chicken. Prepare your own fresh meat. If that’s not an option, look for prepared meats that are lower in sodium. And when you buy poultry, check the label to make sure a salt solution or broth wasn’t added.
8.Cheese
Processed cheese (like American) and very hard cheese (like cheddar) are high in sodium. Surprisingly, cottage cheese is, too. When you snack on cheese or add it to dishes, choose low-sodium kinds like mozzarella, goat cheese, and ricotta.
