Eat Healthy On A Budget
Nearly all Americans consume more salt than they need. Decrease salt intake to reduce risk of elevated blood pressure. Keeping blood pressure in normal range reduces risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, congestive heart failure and kidney disease.
Buy canned foods with no added salt or reduced-sodium varieties.
