Salt free

There are so many hidden sources of salt in manufactured foods, including breakfast cereals, that salt free or low salt diets should be produced from pure natural ingredients. Any menu or recipe based on these ingredients can be used.

Salt should not be added in cooking or baking.

Raising agents should not be used - the problem is with the sodium ions from both the salt and sodium bicarbonate.

My dad has just been diagnosed with Chronic Heart Failure. He has been put on a 2000mg salt-free diet. I could use some help and or guidance in order to cook and combine healthy yet delicious meals for him. He is 85 years old and rather set in his ways. I have been using spices to give his meals some help but am at odds as what each item or how to calculate

You have to assume that purchased bread, cake, biscuits, breakfast cereals, pre-prepared meals, bacon and ham, sardines etc in brine, take-away meals, baked beans, and some cheeses all contain too much salt.

Start with fresh vegetables, fresh meat or fish, fresh fruit, cook rice without salt.

If you want to check the salt content (look at the figure for sodium) the following site is excellent:

Fresh fruit and vegetables are a good basis for a diet here.
Cereals and starchy foods are good - but not highly refined foods.

Avoid foods high in fat, and cooking methods like frying. Don't add butter to food.
Use lean meat, fresh fish.
Don't add salt at any stage.

I have had to use water pills for yrs. as my body produces the chemical that causes us to retain water. One Dr. said I do and another Dr. said its not possible. I can consume totally sodium /salt free foods and still swell up. It always starts at the ankles. Is there anything I can do to alleviate this problems besides take water pills

Purchase a copy of The Rice Diet Solution. It was devised by Duke University in the 1930's for heart patients. It is low a sodium diet and you do not eat just rice

If you cook with the basic raw ingredients. These don't have salt in. Fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, fresh fish, fresh meat. Rice, potato. Don't add salt in the cooking either

Hi there

Just noticed your posting and was also looking for olives with no salt.

Have you had a reply with suggestions where to get them from in the UK?

I've been looking for a while, I adore olives and eat them like sweets!!! but I'm very consious of the salt in them. I do wash them before eating but the salt is still obvious. I don't like the ones in oil so much.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Regards

Andrea
