Finding the best low sodium products is key to a low sodium lifestyle. It’s much easier to stay within your daily sodium limits if you have healthy, low sodium foods on hand. Stocking your pantry with foods like canned tuna can eliminate the last-minute scramble for a quick meal and help you avoid choosing unhealthy choices because they’re convenient. 

Convenience aside, canned tuna is also good for your heart. It’s a lean protein source reported to repair body tissues and boost metabolism. It contains heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids that promote brain function and reduce inflammation.

  1. StarKist Selects no salt added,chunk white albacore tuna in water has 65 mg sodium for a 4.5 oz. can. Found in most supermarkets. Tastes delicious.

  2. I was trying to find a better tuna to buy. The only problem I’m having now is bread. I found a no salt bread at an organic supermarket but it didn’t taste so good. I am trying to change my eating habits but it’s so hard and I don’t think I will Succeed at it and I am scared.

    Anyway, thank you for the article. Sorry for the rant

  3. I greatly appreciate all your efforts finding low sodium products for everyone to use. I have found another low sodium tuna product. It’s Bumblebee Prime Sid White Albacore Tuna Packed in Water – Low Sodium. It had 65mg of sodium for 1 can drained. I use this brand and it is delicious. I would never know it’s so low in sodium. Thanks again for all your help.

  4. As far as bread options, I go for Ebenzer’s frozen no sodium bread and I also found these Tubulie pita pockets at Publix, only 50mg of sodium for one pocket 👍👍👍
