Cindy suggests to  pass the…herbs and spices! Reducing your salt intake can be delicious. Your body needs about a teaspoon a day, but too much salt can tip the scales toward serious health risks: high blood pressure, heart disease and potentially, liver damage. The average American consumes double the recommended 1,500 mg daily limit. Processed foods and meats are loaded with salt. Start adding more herbs and spices to your menus and not only will you crave salt less, but you will embark on an exciting sensory and health adventure.
