What is a "salt-free diet"?
A salt-free diet eliminates the addition of salt in meals and avoids foods with naturally high sodium content. This diet focuses on consuming fresh, whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, which are naturally low in sodium. Processed and packaged foods, which often contain high levels of salt, are strictly avoided. The goal of a salt-free diet is to manage or prevent health issues such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and kidney problems by minimizing sodium intake. Instead of salt, herbs, spices, and other salt-free seasonings are used to enhance the flavor of foods.
