Just not adding extra salt during mealtimes can make a difference

Using not more than two teaspoons of salt a day is associated with increased healthspan and lifespan. Substituting normal salt with a potassium-enriched salt alternative is a quick hack to reduce sodium intake and has also been shown to reduce mortality and sickness.

Most of our foods are replete with sodium, often more than needed and it is quite difficult to figure out how much sodium is actually going into our bodies. It is also impractical and cumbersome to calculate the sodium contents of foods that we eat and then plan our meals accordingly.

Salt intake should be equal to or less than 1 teaspoon per day. Since we can't control the salt in processed foods and food we don't cook ourselves, the best way is not to add extra salt to what we eat and to use LSSS wherever we can.
