Low Sodium Diet

A low-sodium diet limits the consumption of sodium, a mineral that is frequently present in table salt and many processed foods. People with diseases including high blood pressure (hypertension), heart disease, kidney issues, or fluid retention are frequently advised to follow this food plan. A low-sodium diet aims to maintain a lower blood pressure while reducing stress on the heart and kidneys, hence lowering the risk of health issues.
