sea salt, kosher salt, table salt all have the same amount of sodium---but kosher salt has no iodine, so the flavor is less bitter and you generally can use less of it. Mrs Dash is a great option---they have several flavors. And think about other flavor options. Just a hint of ground cinnamon gives GREAT flavor to almost anything---even the savory things---think middle eastern foods. Go to the herb & spice section and try a few small bottles of spices or herbs---you'll be amazed at how they can enhance your food and reduce your salt intake. And remember, if you're consuming sodium, increase your water intake (not soda, not coffee, not tea, but water). Even if you end up with a little more sodium than you plan on, the water can help balance things out.

Anyone know if your a diabetic & your suffering from low salt, what you can do? My mother-in-law said she's not feeling well, & went to the doctor recently, but wanted to know what I can do for her. The doctor is keeping her in his care, for sure! But still worried. Would anyone know?
