You should avoid processed foods and do not add salt when cooking then you should be fine. The most important is avoiding adding salt and sauces when eating your meal. Yes, sodium is everywhere in all the foods, especially the processed foods. Good luck.

Low salt diet is essential and by reading packages you can discover appropriate low sodium foods. Eat dairy protein and fish- avoiding other meats. Good luck
