    I am on a not intense BP med, but I still want to get off it. I have a consultation with my doctor in 5 weeks. You can bet I'm going to be on serious salt patrol until then. This video was a great place to start!

    you said 540 is low??? most people can only have 1000 a day. I would stick to the first one you showed which had 35mg per the whole can.. you might want to read up on the American Heart assoc how much salt a person should have with high blood pressure. Even the Low sodium tamari is out of the question.. Please find items that are well below 1000mg/day of sodium and redo the video.

    With all due respect, I watched until he talked about what salt to use if you have high BP! Plus how expensive are those frozen foods? I ask because I've never seen them where I live in Canada, likely be better off buying ingredients and making it from scratch!

    Potatoes are not on the dirty dozen list—not sure where you got that info. Here’s the REAL dirty dozen:

    Strawberries
    Spinach
    Kale, collard, and mustard greens
    Nectarines
    Apples
    Grapes
    Cherries
    Peaches
    Pears
    Bell and hot peppers
    Tomatoes
    Celery

    How is 540 mg of sodium a low sodium food? In a 2000 mg per day diet, you would be already more than a quarter of your daily allowance. If you have Congestive heart failure, do not listen to his advice!

    On a low sodium diet, 2000 mg per day, you would never add salt, no matter what kind! Please make sure you know what you are sharing. Anyone who needs to keep a low sodium diet should avoid adding any salt to their foods. There are plenty of other options. Use garlic or Nosalt brand substitute.( as long as you are not watching your potassium intake). There is so much hidden salt in all of our foods, adding it to your cooking will really be a problem.

    Thank you, I have been watching for a couple of months, and love Rosie. I am on a low sodium diet, and have used some of the items you mentioned today. Appreciate you, Art and your family.

    Please, come to the Czech republic and show us in our grocery shops low sodium options! And not in Prague!! And with normal czech salaries, not average. Average salary is made mainly of salaries of millionaires and similar positions. Normal people have to work for 14 000 CZK or 18 000 CZK, pensions here are around 10 000 CZK.

    The Fodmap diet brings your blood pressure down too. Under Fodmap, your aim is to eliminate certain sugars from your diet that may be causing indigestion. For example the sugar found in the stems of broccoli can cause extreme gas in some people. An unanticipated benefit of the diet is lower blood pressure. It happened to me.

    Direct quote from the British Heart Foundation leaflet on salt. "No one type is better or worse for you – salt is salt and will have the same effect on your blood pressure". So if you have any sense I'd take what this guy says with er…. a pinch of salt! Dam sorry that was terrible pun.

    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.

    I can’t get over how immediately the low salt and no salt options go out the window, because of an oil. I wonder if people avoiding sodium because of very bad health conditions NOW would be better following their low sodium diet than avoiding these foods because there are oils that might cause health issues DECADES FROM NOW.

    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.
