Don't be salty

You've heard by now that most Americans are consuming far too much salt in their diets. But it's hard to shake the salt from your routine. Luckily Elisa Zied and Ruth Winter, authors of "So What Can I Eat?!" compiled a list of 'Fill-Ins for Flavor' as salt alternatives. For lean meats try parsley, sage, thyme, chives or lemon juice. For lean pork try thyme, savory, rosemary or sage. And for poultry try rosemary, nutmeg, mustard, lemon juice or bay leaves. Replacing salt in a recipe for one of those ingredients will give you lots of flavor which may cause you to pitch your salt shaker forever.
