American Heart Association Eat Less Salt: An Easy Action Plan for Finding and Reducing the Sodium Hidden in Your Diet with 60 Heart-Healthy Recipes

My health-conscious 88-year-old father has embraced this book as one of his favorites. With his need to decrease his salt intake, I sent him this book almost a year ago. He has practically memorized it. He tells others about its contents and when I call him long distance, her reminds me how glad he is that I found this on Amazon and had it shipped to him. Hurrah...you are helping my dad stay healthy! Thank you. Informative, un-pompous and "straight forward" text.

This is an excellent book especially for those beginning to deal with a low sodium lifestyle. I wish I had had such a resource 12 years ago when I started. Part I is up-to-date information on sodium and its affects on our health. Part II helps layout "strategies" for living a slow sodium lifestyle. Part III provides recipes with nutrition information per serving. The 60 recipes are a good starting point for anyone. Part IV is called the "Toolkit" with resources to help get a low sodium life style started. There are two indexes for general information and the recipes. A worthwhile first book purchase!

I bought this to help with my blood pressure. I find that it is helping me to become more aware of the hidden salt content in many foods. It is readable and easy to understand and implement. I am sure it will help me in my quest to lower my blood pressure.

This book is excellent. It is authoritative and a practical guide for taking meaningful and actionable steps to control your sodium intake---even under difficult circumstances such as when eating out. The disclosure of hidden sources of sodium even enlightened me who thought I already knew it all! If you have sodium concerns this book is a 'must have'

This is an easy read, but for thise of us on a sodium restricted diet it's nothing new your doctor didn't say. That said if the doctor didn't do a good job, this has the basics on how and why it's a good idea to decrease your sodium. There are a few recipes but just not enough to find what you want. Also they still include adding salt in most recipes, not a lot, but I've found you can just remove it altogether, so why bother?
