Check out Mrs. Dash... and here's a GIVEAWAY!

One of the chief concerns for parents is helping their kids live a healthy lifestyle, and this can be taught by setting a good example.  Healthy eating is part of this, and Mrs. Dash salt-free seasoning blends can help!  Americans consume 2-3 times the recommended amount of salt per day (recommendation: 1 tsp. or less). And with the new dietary guidelines advising that we should only consume 1,500 milligrams a day with the MAX being 2,300 milligrams (with current consumption often double that!!) cutting salt back should be top of mind for everyone!

Mrs. Dash Seasoning Blends are an all-natural blend of 14 natural herbs and spices that add a unique flavor to every dish, so you won’t ever miss the salt.  In addition to their line of Seasoning Blends which are both salt- and MSG- free they also have 6 salt-free marinades including Spicy Teriyaki and Southwestern Chipotle. 

Here are some tips for reducing sodium intake: 

1. Choose fresh, unprocessed or fresh, frozen foods
2. Read food labels for sodium content; use no-sodium or low-sodium seasonings
3. Choose foods with less than 200mg of sodium per serving
4. Limit processed foods such as canned or dried soups, canned vegetables, frozen dinners, “instant” foods and flavored rice/pasta packages
5. Use less sodium at the table and in cooking; flavor food with lemon juice, fresh garlic, spices, herbs and flavored vinegar
