Shopping for Sodium

I've made it to the supermarket today, and I find myself shopping for sodium - instead of just ploughing through the isles buying the usual items, I'm taking the time to read the salt content on the back of each package. There are some surprising results, such as the naan bread which has 1100mg per piece - I might not be eating that again in a hurry.

I think it's very hard at first to work everything out and then keep track of it day by day, and I haven't managed that this week, but I hope that as time goes on I'll begin to learn what to buy and what to avoid. It's clear I'm going to have to change my diet significantly, but once this has embedded itself in my subconscious, shopping should become a much easier task. Perhaps I might even end up eating more healthily, so this could be a real opportunity for Meniere's to impact my life in a positive way for once.
