Product Description
This revised and expanded third edition of the American Heart Association Low-Salt Cookbook is an indispensable resource for sodium-watchers.

The statistics are in—65 million Americans have high blood pressure, and nearly 5 million suffer from congestive heart failure. Whether you have these health problems now or want to avoid having them in the future, keeping your sodium intake low is one of the best ways to help your heart.

The human body requires sodium to function properly, but if you are like most other Americans, you consume about ten times more than you need. If that’s because you think low-sodium food means low flavor, think again! The American Heart Association shows here that a low-salt diet is not only good for you but delicious, too.

Encompassing everything from appetizers and soups to entrées and desserts, the American Heart Association Low-Salt Cookbook, 3rd Edition, is a wonderful collection of more than 200 scrumptious low-sodium recipes—50 of them brand-new to this edition. Whether you’re in the mood for a beloved classic dish or an up-to-the-minute future favorite, you’ll find just the thing to please your palate—and you’ll learn that shaking the salt habit is easier than ever before.

The American Heart Association knows that food is one of life’s great pleasures and that no one should have to sacrifice tasty meals for a healthful lifestyle. This new edition of one of its classic cookbooks is the perfect guide to making flavorful, satisfying low-sodium food. With the latest dietary information and tips on substituting ingredients, avoiding hidden sodium, and dining out, the American Heart Association Low-Salt Cookbook, 3rd Edition, will help you follow a low-sodium diet—and thoroughly enjoy it.

Excellent cookbook! by S. Frazer (Canton, CT United States)

This cookbook is so much better than I expected. The recipes are modern and easy to follow. The ingredients called for are items we've all heard of and our families would eat. I am a big fan of the Food Network and was worried a low sodium diet would be tough to follow and would be boring. I am very encouraged by this book. I highly recommend it for anyone trying to eat healthy.

Wouldn't be without it! As a meniere's patient, I trust this resource. by Kate Amstutz (Orrville, Ohio United States)

My diet is limited to 1500 mg of sodium per day. Its easy to exceed that, but rarely worth it with a condition like Meniere's. I trust this resource for my very quality of life.

Note that this book is "low salt," not "no salt."

I am finding good usable recipes in this book.
It also gives sources for finding low or no sodium ingredients that I do not have available in my small town.

Some recipes do have more sodium in the finished product than I want due to severe heart disease and pulmonary edema. Good book for the average person who is trying to prevent my intensity of disease.

There are recipes for low sodium spice and herb mixes that have turned out to be very good.
Very pleased with the book.

Note that this book is low sodium recipes, not no salt recipes. There is salt used in some recipes and more baking powder than I think is safe for me.

Once we get used to knowing how to plan low or no salt recipes, we can use these recipes by changing the ingredients slightly with still good results.

The ultimate source for info by J. Gonzalez (Boca Raton, FL)
