5. Taste the food before you season it
Do you really need more salt in your food? Many of us salt our food before we eat because it’s a tradition, but it might not be essential. Taste your meal first to check whether you enjoy it without the additional seasoning if you’re going to add salt. Most likely, there won’t be much of a change.
6. Eat foods high in potassium
A mineral that functions in tandem with sodium is potassium. Potassium levels often fall when sodium levels rise. Consuming extra potassium lowers blood pressure, which is the reverse of what sodium does.
Most common foods high in potassium, such as mushrooms, peas, potatoes, avocados, spinach, bananas, and oranges, will help you consume more of the mineral.
