Sometimes when you’re just hanging out, all you wanna do is grab a bag of potato chips and munch away until your appetite is satisfied. Salty foods are fine in moderation, but if you often find yourself eating lots of food high in sodium, you could be damaging your health. Diets high in sodium can lead to high blood pressure, which in turn can cause heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular disease.

So to save your health down the road, you might want to cut out foods from your everyday diet that are high in sodium. Check out these simple recipes that are high in deliciousness and low in excess salt content.
