Research shows that cutting back on sodium can help with both your blood pressure and your overall heart health. Prepared and processed foods provide most of the sodium in our diet. The easiest way to trim sodium is to replace packaged versions of things like soups, sauces and beans with homemade versions. When fresh vegetables aren't available, choose frozen over canned. A serving of frozen corn or peas instead of canned will save you about 400 mg of sodium. Keep a dish tasting great by using bold flavors like lemon zest or juice, or fresh or dried herbs. They awaken the flavors in your dish. You can also use seasoning blends found in the spice aisle of your grocery store. Just be sure that they say salt-free.

I'm going to show you some easy ways to cut back on saturated fat . You might already know that you need to limit it to about 10 percent of your calories. That's because saturated fat raises your cholesterol and is bad for your heart. So if you're eating 2,000 calories a day, that's just 22 grams. Replacing a slice of cheese in your sandwich with avocado will save you about 5 grams of saturated fat , plus you'll get some healthy fats from the avocado. Whether you're cooking or baking, swapping out butter with canola or olive oil will save you about six grams of saturated fat per tablespoon. A good rule of thumb when choosing oils is to look for one that's liquid at room temperature. That means they're made of mostly healthy fats. Solid at room temperature, such as coconut oil, means that it's made of mostly saturated fat . Replacing a 3-ounce piece of cooked red meat with salmon will save you about three grams of saturated fat , plus salmon delivers heart-healthy omega-3 fats. At EatingWell, we like to add a little fat to our salad. That's because it gives them some staying power and it also helps you absorb the nutrients in the vegetables. Choosing fat-free or low-fat dairy and nixing full- fat dairy is one of the easiest ways to cut back on saturated fat in your diet. Replacing whole milk with skim will save you about 5 grams of saturated fat , and choosing low-fat in place of full-fat yogurt will save you about 4-1/2 grams. Peanut butter and cream cheese are both yummy additions to go on top of a bagel or a piece of toast. But choosing peanut butter over cream cheese will save you about 3 grams of saturated fat . Don't forget that fats, whether they're saturated or unsaturated, deliver a lot of calories in a small amount. So, even when you're
