The possible health effects of increased levels of sodium and fat have been fairly well established. Blook pressure can elevate in those people sensitive to sodium and high levels of fat can increase chances of heart disease.

Sodium

The best approach to moderating your sodium intake is to cut back on salt, packaged and ready-made frozen meals. Try seasoning foods with a variety of fresh and dried herbs instead.

Flavor Enhancers

• Enjoy the wide variety of fresh or dried herbs available
• Try flavored vinegars with fresh pepper as a marinade for salad or vegetables
• Toss pasta with lemon, low sodium broth and garlic or fresh tomatoes and herbs

Fat

Fats can sneak in to your diet in every food group. Be aware that all fats are high in calories and some are thought to contribute to heart disease, so it's best to eat them in moderation.

Cutting The Fat

• Use non-fat or low-fat milk
• Use non-fat or low-fat cheeses
• Enjoy non-fat frozen yogurt or sherbet instead of ice cream
• Use non-fat yogurt or salad dressing on vegetables
