【 摘 要 】

Excellent resources are available to help patients make low sodium food choices. The American Heart Association (see: www.heart.org) has information on low sodium recipes, and how to follow a low sodium diet when eating out. The Heart Failure Society of America has an education series that includes a free pamphlet on how to follow a low sodium diet (see: www.hfsa.org/pdf/module2.pdf). Lastly, the USDA publishes a national nutrient database that has a list of the sodium content of common foods (see: www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/Data/SR17/wtrank/sr17a307.pdf). This is a great teaching tool to acquaint patients with the sodium content of the foods they are eating.
