I'm looking for low-sodium, low-potassium versions of football snack favorites. I'm preparing these for a young man with severe heart problems and needs to limit his sodium intake to a very small amount. I don't want him to feel like he's missing out on everything he used to enjoy eating and doing, so i'm trying to keep game days as close to normal as possible. Any suggestions, recipes, tips, etc. would be greatly appreciated.


Answer
Processed meats, such as hot dogs etc., are high in sodium. You might want to consult with the dietitions of Whole Foods on this dilema. They have products that taste somewhat comprable, but are lower in sodium, fat, and sugar.
From a practical standpoint, making your own dips, french fries and meats for sandwiches might be a good idea. Have you considered AllRecipes.com in their heart healthy selections? Here are some other ideas:

1. BBQ'd Pork Sandwiches: lean pork tenderloin, cooked and tossed in low sodium Barbecue sauce. Serve with home made cole slaw and baked "fries" (potato wedges, drizzled with a little olive oil and tossed with herbs, garlic, and lite salt) with low sodium ketchup.
2. Vege dip: fat free sour cream mixed with chopped water chestnuts, spinach (defrosted and drained of all liquid), and low-sodium leek soup mix. Serve with carrot stix and celery, cauliflower, and low sodium crackers.
3. Brownies: look for low-fat, low-sugar brownie mixes (Trader Joes and Krusteaz), add applesauce instead of eggs or oil and bake. Top with sugar free/fat free ice cream.

Good luck!

How can I get my brother to eat healthier?




Soren


He's 28 years old and his entire diet consists of (and I'm not even exaggerating) bacon, cheese, penut butter and honey sandwiches, tacos,(with only meat and cheese on them), chips and cheese, pepperoni pizza, French fries and Reeces (oh and biscuits) the man is on his way to an early death by heart attack (also, all he does is sit in his room a play video games) how can I get him to eat healthier? I don't wanna go to my baby brothers funeral :(
Btw he has a job and lives with our mom and buys his own food



Answer
You will have to find something that he likes to eat that is healthy. Try juicing or making a fruit smoothie. You want to make sure that all the ingredients are organic and contain no pesticides if possible. Look on youtube for healthy free vegan recipes. Also try going to Dr. Schulze website and getting him some superfood and #1 bowel cleanse pills. At least then he will be getting some nutrition and cleansing out his body of foul stuff in it.

You can also order the superfood in the powder form and put it in the blender with a smoothie.
