If you're reaching for salt every time that you need to spice up a recipe you could be adding some major sodium to your diet. A daily allowance of sodium is equal to about 2,300 mg per day and the average American gets about 4,000 mg, nearly twice the daily allowance. High sodium diets can lead to some pretty scary health issues like heart attack and stroke. If your doctor recommends cutting the sodium, like Shonta, a guest on a recent episode of Emeril Green try Emeril's southwest spice rub made with cumin, cilantro, paprika, coriander, cloves, and chili powder and you'll never miss the salt.
If you're just looking to cut back, Registered Dietitian Colleen Gerg has some great recommendations.
