salt reduction
Less dietary sodium
Salt reduction is the practice of decreasing sodium intake, typically for health reasons such as managing blood pressure or heart disease risk.
The term appears in dietary guidelines, food labeling, and public health campaigns: The doctor recommended salt reduction after my diagnosis.
Food manufacturers pursue salt reduction through reformulation, gradually lowering sodium content in processed foods.
