Salt and sugar cutting tips from health sources
Practical advice to reduce salt and sugar intake. Use fresh or no salt added vegetables and meats, herbs and salt free seasonings, rinse canned foods, and choose lower sodium cereals. For sugar, drink water, eat fruit, skip sugary cereals, and opt for reduced sugar syrups and spreads. Mayo Clinic and NHLBI provide guidance.
