[b]1. Don’t add salt when cooking. This includes things like soy sauce, curry powders and stock cubes.

2. Get extra flavour with herbs and spices, and from seasonings like chilli, ginger, lemon or lime juice.

3. If you really can't do without a salty favour, you could try using a small amount of low-sodium salt substitute. If you have kidney problems or diabetes, check with your doctor or nurse first.

4. Table sauces like ketchup, mustard and pickles can contain a lot of salt. Check the label and choose low-salt options.

5. Bread and breakfast cereals can contain a lot of salt. Check the labels to compare brands.

6. Smoked meats and fish contain a lot of salt. Avoid these if you can.

7. If you are eating out, ask if your meal can be made with less salt. This may not be possible, but it is always worth asking.

8. Look out for low-salt recipes. There are a number of low-salt cookbooks available, or you can search on the Internet.

Don’t be too concerned about the exact amount of salt you eat, instead try to always eat foods with the lowest salt level. 6g of salt a day is the maximum you should eat, and the less you eat the better.

At first, food without salt can taste bland, but don’t give up. After a few weeks your taste buds will adjust and you will start to enjoy food with less salt.
