Patients of various medical conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and heart diseases follow a low sodium diet. While most unprocessed, fresh foods such as vegetables and fruits have naturally low sodium content, a lot of processed, canned products have medium or high amounts of sodium. The sodium level is so high in certain canned products that it poses a serious health risk not only for patients who must be on low sodium diets, but also for anybody whose diet involves canned, or processed foods.
To resolve the problem, EatLowSodium.com began listing low sodium versions of foods that we would normally find high in sodium while shopping at supermarkets and grocery stores. The list contains products such as salt free ketchup, low sodium cereals, protein powders, sodium free peanut butter, mustard and many others. The list size exceeds 100 products and is heading towards becoming the largest list of low and no sodium foods in the Internet.
The site founder Umit Demir commented that the site lists products that have less than 150 milligrams of sodium per serving. Most products on the site have no sodium. “We also make sure we do not add products that can be harmful for other healthy diets in our list. For instance we exclude items that are high in gluten, carbohydrates or fat,” added Mr. Demir.
The site plans to enlarge the list and include over 500 products for low sodium dieters by the end of the year. To see the list, please visit eatlowsodium.com. For your questions, please contact us via contact@eatlowsodium.com
