Low sodium food options in 7/11 and Lotus Express

Recommended Posts

Trying to get my sodium intake down due to high blood pressure. 

 

Sometimes it would be nice to get a snack from 7/11 or lotus Express that is low sodium, but struggling find much with the exception of fresh fruit, which I already eat plenty of. 

 

Any ideas?

Sodium is a much needed, and wanted flavor enhancer.   Simply read the labels, as most do list sodium content.

 

Use G-lens if not in a language you understand.   If it's processed, it's probably got sodium, whether for flavor or preservative.

 

Sodium/salt gets an undeserved rep .. IMHO

 

As always ... moderation.

Coincidentally, I just perused my local 7-11 for unsalted pistachios and saw none. I buy unsalted nut from a stand just inside the carpark entrance to Big C Marina.

Maybe what your local carries? I have several near me and they vary a little.

Try a bigger 7-11, they have all kinds of unsalted nuts, pistachios, almonds, cashews, even peanuts

I'd wager virtually no one alive who eats food in Thailand is suffering from a lack/shortage of salt in their food.

 

In the vast majority of cases, it's just the opposite.... Same with sugar...

 

Hence the huge numbers of Thais with high blood pressure and/or diabetes.
