Don’t Eat Deli Meat
Pre-sliced deli meats can be like sodium bombs. A two-ounce portion of delicatessen lunch meat can contain up to 500 grams. Even a leaner option such as turkey can quickly add up to 1000mg with three slices. A single serving of Genoa contains 910 mg of salt.
These pre-sliced meats will only add salt to your sandwich: pickles, mustard, cheese, and whole wheat bread average between 200 mg to 400 mg sodium. You can save time and hassle by purchasing fresh meat or making it yourself.
