Shake your salt habit :
You can adapt to a low-sodium diet faster than you think, reports the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. Researchers had 354 volunteers follow three diets for 30 days each. One contained 1,200 milligrams of sodium per day, one 2,300 mg (within the recommended amount), and one 3,500 mg (the amount most U.S. adults get). Afterward, subjects were willing to continue the 2,300 milligram diet rather than return to a high sodium diet. Americans may associate good taste with lots of salt – until they make a habit of eating lower sodium foods and realize the taste doesn’t tank. Start by cutting out 50 milligrams per week (that’s your Friday Coke), says lead study author Eva Obarzanek, Ph.D., R.D.
