Salt might taste good, but is it good for you?

Sodium seems to get in a lot of people's way, especially those who are trying to lose weight. I've come to the conclusion that I love salt, but have come to realize that I can trick myself to eating lower sodium foods and still get the same satisfaction.  When you go to the grocery store and you look at calories and fat, do you ever look at sodium?  If you don't you should start, it's amazing how high sodium is in a Lean Cuisine, but because it's lower in calories people think that it's healthy for them. 

I came across this article today about the 10 Most Tempting Salty Foods and wanted to share it with you because salt is everywhere.  You may not cook much with salt, but the foods you are buying probably contain a lot of sodium.  Every time you go out to eat you are eating more salt than you should in a day...fast food is the worst, but even a salad from Red Robin has over 1,000mg of sodium.

Please read this article by clicking the link below; as it's very helpful and provides great alternatives to those delicious salty foods. :)
