Yet, salt has been shown to play a role in high blood pressure. If you already have high blood pressure, or yours is starting to climb gradually, you will want to cut back on your use of salt as one of several measures to control your blood pressure. If you are a committed salt addict, here are some tips that can help you to overcome this unhealthy habit.Keep the saltshaker in the cupboard. If you are used to reaching for it with just about any meal or entrée, place it out of sight so you won’t be tempted. You might even want to remove all but a little in the bottom of the shaker. Then, when it runs out, you will have to fill it again, and you may be put off by the time it would take to do this, and forego your use of salt for that food item.

In general, these include processed foods, like ham, bacon, sausage, hotdogs and lunchmeat, and pickled or canned meats and fish. Shop for fresh versions of these items, when possible, or make fresh food substitutions. For example, instead of canned sardines, eat fresh tuna with reduced salt on a salt cracker, which has much less sodium than pickled herrings. Get the salt-free or low-salt crackers, and look for other foods, like canned vegetables, that claim to have less salt than before. Learn to enjoy other types of seasonings. A dash of lemon juice on your veggies, low-salt dressings on your salads, and sodium-reduced canned soup are just some of the food items you can enjoy that have less salt. In general, try to avoid processed frozen and canned foods, as these often have more salt than fresh foods.
