My doctors told me to limit sodium to 1,500 mg because of a heart condition. a few things I've learned:

1. Potato chips aren't really that high in sodium. A small bag has less sodium than a slice of whole grain bread.
2. Most natural raw foods are low in sodium. Fruits and vegetable usually have close to zero mg. Unprocessed meats and fish are also low in sodium--usually less than 100 mg.
3. It's the processed foods that will get you. I almost totally avoid prepared meals and anything that is pickled or cured.
4. It's very difficult to eat in restaurants and go low sodium. For fast food, Panera has a good selection. Subway is not too bad. The rest are very difficult. Salads are good, but without meat, cheese, or dressing.
