A tool to help limit patients’ sodium intake


 

References

I have designed a self-produced “Salt Awareness—Limit Today” (SALT) label (FIGURE). This label is attached to the cap of a salt shaker in such a way that less salt flows through the openings of the cap. Moreover, the label serves as a reminder to limit salt intake in general. The feedback I have received from my patients has been extremely positive; they report increased awareness and decreased sodium intake. I mention it here so that others may benefit.
