Dash Southwest Chipotle Seasoning Blend, Salt Free, 2.5 oz

about 8 months ago I learned that I would have to start cooking/ making the 3 meals a day for someone who was put on a cardiac diet. According to the hospital, no more than 2000 MGS of sodium per day. He developed CHF so a very limited amount of salt to prevent edema and sodium causes fluid retention. I had to rethink everything I was cooking to spare him the 911 trips to the ER because he couldn't breathe from fluid in the lungs. It wasn't as difficult to do as I thought. The first thing I purchased were DASH various spices. This one, chipotle, was great on burgers and absolutely no sodium except the little bit that was baked into the bun. Some of the other DASH seasonings were good but since there could be some sodium in or added to his food, I added the lowered sodium salt. We all need some salt in our diets. it's part of the body's electrolytes that are necessary for the heart. Check with your Doctor first. You'll need to know how much sodium you're serving your "patient". I was this person's full time caregiver and I kept an accurate amount of sodium in his food. This chipotle from DASH seasonings was frequently used. Hot %26 Spicy. I was quite impressed with the amount of sodium free products Walmart has for sale. Not always available in-store but hey, take a look.
