Hold That Hidden Salt!

Recipes for delicious alternatives to processed, salt-heavy supermarket favourites

by Maureen Tilley

tagged: low salt
Description

As more people try to avoid the damaging effects of too much salt in their diets, they discover the high -- often excessive -- levels of hidden salt in supermarket packaged foods. Whether it's breakfast cereal, ketchup, soup, soft drinks or muffins, food manufacturers pack way more salt than is healthy into the foods they make. In fact, salt hidden in these items are a far greater source of salt/sodium than salt added in recipes or at the table. Maureen Tilley, author of last year's successful healthy cookbook Hold the Salt!, is back with great ideas about how to hold the hidden salt. She takes on 40 supermarket standards, including all the most popular items where Canadians get the bulk of their salt. She offers easy, quick and tasty alternatives that make holding the salt a delicious and appealing idea. More than a third of adult Canadians over 50 are on medication for high blood pressure, and reducing salt/soldium is a proven strategy to bring it down. A high percentage of youngsters regularly eat packaged foods with dangerously high levels of salt. The Canadian government is dragging its heels when it comes to regulating food manufacturers' use of salt, even though it's been done in many other countries. So here, more than anywhere else, we need Maureen Tilley's great new book.

Editorial Reviews

Tilley provides us with delicious and healthy options to replace that hidden salt.


If you?re trying to reduce your home's sodium intake, I highly recommend picking up Maureen's book. It is well organized, easy to read and if nothing else will get you cooking more foods from scratch — something we should all do more frequently if we want to live healthier lives (and save money!)....I can confidently recommend this book to not only those looking to reduce their sodium intake but to anyone who wishes to live healthier by consuming less processed food and more home-cooked meals.


Tilley has made raising awareness about the health risks of eating too much salt a major focus of her [dietitian] practice...nearly every page of Tilley's book includes photos and nutrition charts of many items we all buy and eat regularly, including ketchup, packaged rice and pasta side-dishes, deli salads and so-called "healthier" baked potato chips.
