Low sodium diet, also known as low salt or hearth healthy diet, has become more popular in the U.S. as people get more aware of the negative effects of high sodium intake on their health. Thanks to the online low sodium community including sites such as EatLowSodium.com and LowSaltFoods.com and sodium-aware food manufacturers such as Mrs. Dash and Morton Salt, finding and preparing low sodium foods is now easier. However, it is still a major challenge for people following low sodium diet to find healthy and tasty low sodium foods in grocers, food stores, and especially restaurants.
To overcome this challenge, EatLowSodium.com began building a directory of businesses and individuals marketing or serving low sodium meals and foods. The directory includes grocers, food stores and online sites marketing low sodium foods as well as sites publishing low sodium diet recipes and tips. Dietitians, doctors, food experts, diet organizations, clubs or any other type of organization that can help people consume less sodium are also invited to join the directory for free.
The site founder Umit Demir commented that the site will enable its visitors to search “low sodium providers” in their local areas. Currently the directory is just a combined list of links and short descriptions. “This will be a great and free advertising opportunity for businesses contributing to low sodium dieting. It will also help everybody find a nearby restaurant or grocer within few seconds.” added Mr. Demir.
Besides the directory, the site lists low sodium foods, recipes, and diet tips. To view or join the directory, please visit eatlowsodium.com and click on the “Directory’
