Foods to Avoid in a low sodium diet
-
Processed meats
Processed meats, such as bacon, ham, sausage, and deli meats, are often high in sodium. A 2-ounce serving of turkey breast deli meat can have over 600 mg of sodium. That’s more than 25% of the daily recommended limit for sodium intake.
If you eat processed meats regularly, try to find brands that are lower in sodium or look for “no salt added” options. You can also make your own deli meats at home using fresh, lean cuts of meat.
