I have high blood pressure and also take a blood thinner because of a

machincal heart valve so I have to watch not only my salt intake but

Vit K intake as well. I can only have 2 grams of salt a day. I have

found that using nosalt is a decent compromise.

Here are other ideas:

Season with herbs and spices such as Garlic, Onion, Sage, Rosemary,

Thyme, Lemon Juice, Fruit and Lemon Pepper.

Use Fresh or frozen vegetables

The world wide web at my finger tips and I can't find anything

interesting.
