Diet plan overview

The allergen-free diet plan for low sodium diet is the diet undertaken to help individuals lower their salt intake while avoiding allergens that might trigger adverse reactions in a person. The diet involves fresh and unprocessed foods that have low levels of sodium and do not include common allergenic ingredients. A variety of herbs and spices are included to add flavor without using salt. Fresh fruits and vegetables, in addition to lean proteins, are included in this diet.

It helps not only to control blood pressure and reduce water retention but also promotes overall heart health. The meals are basic, simple ingredients that are easy to prepare and flexible to suit diverse culinary tastes.

How to budget on this diet plan

Focus on fresh produce, such as fruits and vegetables, which are very low in sodium and inexpensive if in season. Make most of your own food to avoid too much salt, and to save money, rather than buying pricey, pre-packaged allergen-free foods. Instead of salt, use herbs and lemon juice to flavor your food, and really bring out the taste without the addition of sodium.

Note what is on sale for items like rice and potatoes, which are very low in sodium and are naturally allergen-free. Shop smart—plan your shopping trip around what's on sale at grocery stores each week, and shop accordingly.
