Overview

Most of the sodium people eat comes from packaged and restaurant food, not the salt shaker, so a low-sodium diet is mostly about knowing where it hides. This printable sorts foods into three columns: naturally low, check the label, and limit, including the American Heart Association's Salty Six.

A second page explains the % Daily Value, what words like low sodium and no salt added actually mean, and how to add flavor without salt. Ask your doctor what your daily target is.

  • Three columns

    Naturally low, check the label, limit.

  • Label basics

    FDA sodium terms and % Daily Value.

  • Flavor without salt

    Herbs, citrus, garlic and spices.

  • Sodium & BP log

    Track sodium and blood pressure together.

Questions

How much sodium should I have a day?

The FDA Daily Value is 2,300 mg. The American Heart Association's ideal limit for most adults is 1,500 mg, especially with high blood pressure. Ask your doctor about your target.

What does low sodium mean on a label?

140 mg or less per serving. Very low sodium is 35 mg or less, and reduced sodium means at least 25% less than the regular version.

Which foods have the most sodium?

Bread and rolls, pizza, sandwiches, deli and cured meats, soup, and burritos and tacos top the list.

Can I use it on my iPad?

Yes. Import the PDF into GoodNotes, Notability, Xodo or any PDF app. The index and section tabs are clickable, so you can tap to jump between sections.

Will I get a printed copy in the mail?

No. It's a digital download. You print the pages yourself at home or at a print shop, or use them on a tablet.

How it's made: designed by Sorted Templates. We use AI tools to help draft text and lay out pages, and every page is reviewed and edited by us before it's listed. Lifestyle and mockup images may be AI-generated or AI-edited; the page previews show the actual files.
