Low Sodium Diet Journey - Part 3

How hard is it to consume 2 grams or less of sodium per day? I started out thinking it would be difficult when a low sodium diet was recommended for one of my family members but it has been easier than I anticipated. This is the third post in a series that documents our family’s ‘learning experience.’

Probably the more redeeming find about the low sodium diet is that most candy is low in sodium….so the indulgences into the world of sweets are not reduced at all by the need to control sodium intake.

Dark chocolate is a great first choice. My favorite treat is two squares of Lindt Intense Mint chocolate - which totals up to 0 milligrams of sodium (note that some others have a small amount of sodium - read the labeling).

Peppermints were our second - in the seasonal form of candy canes. They generally have no sodium at all. What would Christmas have been without the candy canes?
