Control sodium where you can! You have more control with foods you purchase and prepare yourself. On occasions when you choose to dine out, be mindful of sodium consumed at all other meals that day.
Quick Tips:

▪️ Go for baked or grilled over fried.
▪️ Request sauces, dressings and condiments on the side.
▪️ Swap your side.
