The BEST Low Sodium Foods At The Grocery Store...And What To Avoid!

[@petebrown3715]

In my case low sodium helps with my weight, energy and overall health. Been combining low sodium and Keto. Lost 21lbs. so far. Thank God for this channel. It has really educated me.

[@pinkisforpimps]

Actually sodium is needed during true keto diet because your body will be low in minerals, having you feeling sluggish

[@inugurl3]

When looking at tomato sauce or tomatoes look for no salt added or use tomato paste for lower salt amounts

[@underated17]

@@pinkisforpimps I seem to be salt intolerant now and I have a belly, I store it there. So I may have sodium retention.

[@whatthereview369]

@@pinkisforpimps Not for everyone. You HAVE to cut back on sodium if you are diagnosed with hypertension like me. A few days ago, I was sent to the ER when I went to a doctor about lower back pain, because my blood pressure was DANGEROUSLY high, "at stroke level" the doctor said. So I am cutting out foods that have added salt, taking blood pressure meds and a TMG supplement (known to help manage blood pressure). Now my numbers are coming down! You really should not be adding extra sodium to your food if you have high blood pressure, because it can cause a stroke or heart attack. So whether you can add salt to your food, or eat pre-salted foods, depends what your blood pressure is. Everyone does not have the same needs.

Yes, sea salt And Himalayan salt still contain more sodium chloride in one teaspoon than a person with heart or kidney disease should eat in a day. No added salt od any kind for me. I stay below 2000 mg / day.

[@d.d.9636]

Thanks for this video. My cardiologist recently put me on a low sodium diet, 1800-2000 mgs/day (the daily max for others is 2300 which is 1 tsp of salt), due to a mild bout of congestive heart failure. It's rough grocery shopping and reading all the labels. Plus you have to plan out meals in advance or you just may go overboard by dinner. My cardiologist told me salt is salt, sea, kosher, they all have sodium. Also, going low sodium you should have your potassium levels checked.

[@dianariconda7659]

@@cory8777 It most likely has a potassium added to it which isn't great for you either. If you have kidney issues it can overwork them.....meaning sometimes the kidney can't filter it out and your body stores it. I purchased all kinds and had to get rid of all of them because they were causing more harm to my brothers health. This sounds crazy but adding lime to some food actually tricks you into thinking you added salt. I didn't believe it until I tried it. Sorry, didn't mean to drone on and on.

[@Jay-xw6hr]

Every since one of my patients introduced me to your site, (with questions about bottle water), I have been interested in hearing what you have to say about the food we eat. Based on your subscriber base, I assume you represent the view of many people looking to improve the quality of their diets. Even though I may not always agree with everything you say, it’s a free country and you can say what you want, as long as it doesn’t do any harm. An example would be the bottled water segment that I first commented on. In my professional opinion, the information you provided was based on junk science, but did no harm. On the positive side, I do agree with many of your ideas, especially when it comes to highly processed foods and sugars. This salt segment however, is another story. Here much of the information you provide is not only wrong, but potentially dangerous. In particular, at 14:00 and 16:29 you claim that Himalayan, or Celtic salts won’t spike blood pressure. This statement has absolutely no basis in fact and is 100% wrong! Sodium Chloride (salt), in any form will spike BP in susceptible patients. By making such a statement you are coming dangerously close to providing medical advice and potentially harming patients who have been advised by their doctors to avoid salt. These would include those with kidney and cardiac problems, among others. As far as BP is concerned, salt, is salt. It doesn’t matter if it’s iodized table salt, (which by the way is essential in many parts of the world), kosher salt, or some exotic sea salt. All table salt is contains roughly 39% sodium and 61% chloride, by weight. Generally speaking, a gram of kosher salt will have the same amount of sodium as a gram of sea salt. The trace amounts of minerals, and potassium found in so called “sea salt” are insignificant in terms of a salt’s sodium content and has no protective effect on BP. Before you make such unfounded statements in the future, where you could potentially do harm to someone, I would suggest that you do a bit of self-study and / or consult with credentialed medical professionals. Try to avoid conformation bias. Becoming a Google expert is not a substitute for sound medical, or nutritional education. There is a reason that MD’s, RN’s and RD’s require many years of study and licensure before providing advice. I’m obviously not saying you need to go that far, but a bit of formal nutritional education might not hurt!

[@pielucas439]

Well said. I take care of my mother who has copd, heart failure & diabetes & all 4 of her doctors got together to decide that she needs to keep her sodium intake below 1,000mg daily. She's on strong diuretics & eating some of the things mentioned in this vid would be very dangerous to her health. I've learned a lot the last few yrs just talking with her doctors & a nutritionist & most ppl should just do that bc you'll get much better advice

[@rosettego6376]

Couldn't agree more. It's dangerous to lead people to believe that Himalayan Pink Salt has a different sodium and chloride ratio than that of other types of salt. Salt is SALT. If your doctors tell you to take a certain amount of it per day, then just do it irregardless of it being Kosher, Sea Salt, Iodized Salt, Rock Salt, or Himalayan Pink Salt. Don't get me wrong, his contents are pretty insightful and fascinating but there are just these instances that I wouldn't agree with. It is pretty dangerous if people would believe the statement about a "healthier" salt.

[@Jay-xw6hr]

@@rosettego6376 As a physician, it’s pretty clear to me that Bobby doesn’t really understand the science, or lack thereof behind many of his claims. It one thing to quote something you read on the internet, but quite another thing to really understand the science behind it. His claims about salt are just one example.

[@albert75911]

Jay, I admire how you challenge Bobby's information. Thank you, I read and appreciated all your points. I will like to add my 2 cents... Back in May of 2021, I had a heart attack and ended up with a double bypass surgery. I am so fortunate to be alive and doing well. Since my surgery, I have read many books and seek re-education in nutrition for holistic health. Salt and sugar are the two most dangerous consumption we humans over indulge for obvious reasons ie, is in everything we eat, most Americans consumed too much daily. I have reduce my sodium to 1.5 grams a day per my Dr recommendation. I feel better and even my Rheumatoid arthritis it's been controlled to very minimum attacks. I agree with you that providing much valuable education is highly important.

The only way I found that keeps my sodium levels down is to eat one meal a day with an occasional low sodium snack during the week. That way the one meal I allow myself per day can have some actual flavor. I also make sure my meals are 20-24 hours apart to allow my body time to release the sodium from the previous day. My daily meal is dinner and on most days I try not to exceed 500 -750 mg per meal on most days. I will allow for up to 1000 mg but not often. Sat. or Sun. I will splurge on my favorite fast food but during the week I try to cook my own meals. Along with limiting sugary drinks, eating like this has kept my weight down for about 10 years now.

[@maryannbaughman215]

If on a low sodium diet you would not cook with any, I repeat would not cook with any added salt. Use herbs and other no salt seasonings! You will not miss the salt, because you are tasting the real flavor of food.

[@donnamarie6840]

The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 mg a day and moving toward an ideal limit of no more than 1,500 mg per day for most adults. The average american consumes 3,400 mg . All salts are essentially sodium-chloride. Himalayan salt is 95 to 98% sodium chloride. The trace minerals are insignificant at 2% so are unlikely to provide you with any health benefits whatsoever. Table salt is a major dietary source of iodine, so if you're using pink Himalayan salt, you will need to get iodine from other foods. Not getting enough iodine in your diet can lead to problems with your thyroid and developmental disabilities. That is why in the 1920 it was added to salt. That said, I do appreciate that you are listening to your subscribers and their concerns. Please continue to note the sodium in the products that you discuss in future videos.

[@ParisLeShea]

This is definitely true but remember, there are other people who consume TOO much iodine, and that can also lead to thyroid disabilities. The key is moderation and knowing your own personal levels so you can know whether to reduce, maintain or increase your iodine intake levels.

[@livcontessa]

If you have high blood pressure you should not be using salt in your cooking period. There is no good salt when you have hbp. When you're counting sodium it adds up quickly if you take everything into consideration. Yes, it's bland, but it's better than stroking out.

[@RVOPuttPuttProductions]

Thanks for these hints and tips, but for people with heart failure or edema any salt, even supposedly healthy salts, can cause inflammation, swelling, and high blood pressure. I do appreciate pointing out the lower sodium options. I find that making my own blend of onion powder, garlic powder, and other herbs and spices (no salt) helps a lot. Also, using items like different types of vinegars (malt, balsamic, etc) can be flavorful without adding sodium. Once your palate has changed, you can cheat occasionally by sprinkling a little Parmesan cheese on things, etc. The important thing is to to be strict on the sodium for like a month until your palate changes.

Salt is salt. Doesn't matter where it's from, it will raise your blood pressure. You probably should not be offering this medical advice to people who might have blood pressure problems.

You have to do a trial and error or process of elimination. Try it for yourself before taking someone else's experience as your own. Being able to test your sugar is a great way to determine what works and what doesn't for your own body.

Have been using Ezekiel low sodium for quite a few years, don't eat it every day , significant weight loss, went " no white sugar, no white flour " helped me tremendously !

[@thetayoung3066]

There is a Coconut Amino, I forget the brand but it has about 75 mg sodium, I use it instead of soy sauce.

The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 mg of sodium for most adults. And Optimum being no more than 1,500 mg. We eat way too much sodium!

Minerals can't be bleached. The rock salt is purified by crystallization.

The prices are never really considered here. The healthier foods are always more expensive, and the people with the worst diets are usually the poorest. I feel this is for hipster fad dieters.

I think this is a wonderful feed for people who have been given a death sentence by their doctor and have to bring more awareness to their diet. Yes, these modalities of eating and food buying practices are extremely expensive compared to budget shopping, but what is extraordinarily more costly for me has been medical bills. There are many dietitians who feature bargain shopping so check out those channels. I for one am so grateful to Bobby for his breakdown of nutrition and ingredients, as I am being treated aggressively for with a medical team to save my life right now.

People can afford to eat at healthy at any income level. 😊

Hello!! Thank you for putting out a video about this! My brother has heart failure(20%) and kidney failure/esrd(on dialysis), and suffers from gout flare ups.....he is on a low sodium(1500-2000), low potassium, and phosphate diet(I look for all the phos items in the ingredients)....of course he has to watch nitrates as well. It has been really hard to find stuff at the grocery store without getting overwhelmed and confused. I read the labels and sometimes while comparing it is easy to forget which is better. Any and all help/info is greatly appreciated!

[@idontrte]

My grandma is on a similar diet she can only have 3000mg sodium intake and 64oz fluid intake due to chf and kidney disease have you found any good foods we can buy that is easy to make and won’t go over her diet? It would be very much appreciated

[@dianariconda7659]

@@idontrte Normally the max for sodium is no more than 2300mg daily for a normal person.... While on dialysis that drops down to between 1500-2000mg per day max. And the fluids are normally limited to 32 oz of fluids a day on dialysis....they adjust according to output and how well your kidneys are functioning. My brother has a max of 32-40 oz daily of all liquids...soups and ice pops included... There are no salt options that do not have potassium added. Costco has a no salt seasoning blend which is good, Dash, there are many....just try to keep away from the ones that add potassium. Salt substitutes will often have potassium. When our kidneys do not function properly to filter out the potassium and phosphates(preservatives and meat by products/waste) our body will store it....which is bad. Phospates are not good, the ones that they add....just look for ingredients that have phos in them in the ingredient label. I am not a doctor or medical professional!! I just wanted to make that clear. I am basing this on what I have had to do to help my brother. Soaking meats that have sodium added, for example a piece of regular bacon in water and draining it a few times will lessen how much sodium is in it. (He eats this every once in a blue moon) Look up leaching out sodium and potassium. I cut half a cup of potatoes into cubes and soaked in a lot of water, drained it and kept soaking it in fresh water so that my brother could have some potatoes since his potassium level lowered significantly and I actually needed to give him more potassium! Go figure! Anyway, I could give him some without overloading him. It is hard to balance stuff because he has three health issues going on and other little things: heart failure with other issues, kidney failure/esrd, and gout flare ups. So what might work for your Grandma might not need to be as strict. Watch for sodium added to meats you purchase, if it has it you can try soaking it and then drying it off when you get ready to prepare it. Oat meal is good to have on hand, cream of wheat, grits, rice. If you look up Fresenius or Davita dialysis centers the websites have some recipe ideas and pinterest is really good for the kidney patients who aren't on dialysis yet. I know I wrote a lot but just start with a protein and add a vegetable and maybe a starch....I did that then added a fruit of some sort. The websites helped me figure some stuff out and give good ideas. I hope I helped and didn't confuse you. Watch portion sizes too!

Bobby and Art, Thank you for being an alternative to, er, news conferences. I’m sick and stuck in isolation and you really calmed me down. Namaste! Is Malden salt Bobby approved? Take care, gentlemen

What grocery store are you shipping in? I only have Walmart and food lion and they never have many options.

My big admiration to anyone that can swallow the Ezequiel bread. I bought the no sodium and had to have it with hummus because I didn’t like it so it defeated the purpose. For me it tastes like cardboard and I ended throwing the pack in the trash after having two slices. I think the sprouted grains are an acquired taste…

[@Jerusalemmade]

Lately I’ve been usually shooting for whatever foods has the least ingredients in them.

[@krzykris]

I just found your channel and really appreciate the content. Just wanted to make a comment that according to my doctor sodium chloride is sodium chloride. Maybe the options you explain may not Spike it quickly, but it all has the same effect on blood pressure.

[@seandalai3413]

Idk - sea salt would contain all the contaminants that are in the ocean right now. Himalayan might be better... also, it has trace amounts of iodine, for those of us who have thyroid issues. It's supportive.

[@judithlpn-quilter7757]

Great info but this is very expensive food. The average person can’t afford this stuff. I try to halve my sodium. Like salt free tomatoes and chili beans so I cut down on salt. I also boil foods like sausage burgers or turkey burgers to remove some salt. It is very hard to buy food since my hubby is a salt,sugar and fat addict. I try to eat food as plain as I can and use Mrs Dash on a lot.
