Cooking methods to reduce sodium

Keep seasonings away to manage blood pressure! Cooking methods to reduce sodium

 

 

Reducing sodium intake is fundamental to blood pressure management. However, simply reducing salt does not mean reducing sodium intake.

 

Since seasonings such as red pepper paste, soybean paste, and soy sauce used in cooking contain high levels of sodium, it is advisable to reduce their addition during preparation.

 

However, it can be challenging to enhance the flavor of food without using seasonings.

 

From now on, I will explain methods to enhance the flavor of food without using any seasonings!

 

Make broth flavor using natural ingredients like anchovies and kelp!

Replace the salty taste with the umami flavor of natural ingredients when boiling soup!

 

Use spices such as onions, garlic, and herbs instead of harsh liver treatments!

Especially, onions are good at producing a natural sweetness during the cooking process.

 

 

Replace dressing with fruit and yogurt when eating salad!

The sweetness of the fruit and the tartness of the yogurt replace the need for dressing.

 

Try reducing sodium intake by using natural ingredients instead of seasonings!
