carefully reading the labels<\/a>. All grains are not created equal. One hamburger bun, for example, may contain 200 mg of sodium, and a regular slice of bread can contain 150 mg of sodium. It\u2019s better to cook up whole grains like farro, wild rice, steel cut oats, or buckwheat to reduce your salt intake.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nDeli Meats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Cold cuts, cured meats, canned meats, and other meats from the deli counter can pack a salty punch. A two-ounce serving of cold cut meat or salami can contain between 500-1020 mg of sodium, which is 33-68% of the recommended daily intake. Additionally, most deli meats contain phosphate salts and other preservatives that manufactures include during processing. That packaged ham you put on your sandwich averages 1,100 mg of sodium per three-ounce serving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sauces And Condiments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Canned sauces and condiments are one thing: convenient. Every person may not want to take the time to make sauces, dressings, marinades, and more from scratch. Unfortunately, there\u2019s a salty price to pay for using these store bought items. One tablespoon of teriyaki sauce averages 690 mg of sodium, while the same amount of barbecue sauce has about 175 mg of sodium. The same tablespoon of ketchup may contain 150 mg of sodium and the average soy sauce packet can contain 1,000 mg of sodium. Jarred pasta sauce or curry sauce also packs an insane amount of sodium. For example, one cup of spaghetti sauce can have 1,000 mg of sodium. You can easily make your own sauce from ripe plum tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic, and onions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Breakfast Cereal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Take into account that the average American consumes between 3,000-3,400 mg of sodium per day. Now, factor in the sneaky breakfast sodium bomb that is cereal. Cornflakes contains nearly 200 mg of sodium per serving, which adds up quickly if you just dump cereal into a bowl and dig in with a spoon. Some cereals have as much as 300 mg of sodium per serving, which can add up quickly, since most people exceed the serving size. <\/p>\n
