Eating a healthy and balanced diet can be challenging, but it doesn't have to be boring. More Herbs Less Salt Day encourages people to reduce their salt intake and get creative with other ways to flavor their food. Cooking at home is the best way to control salt usage, as many restaurants and pre-packaged meals contain high amounts of sodium. Growing fresh herbs in your garden or even indoors can add flavor to dishes without relying on salt. There are also simple tips to reduce salt intake, such as choosing fresh meats over processed ones and reading labels on packaged foods. Creating a salt-free spice blend can also be a great way to experiment with new flavors in cooking.
