Why is removing only the salt shaker not enough in a low-salt diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because pickles, salty snacks, and processed foods may contain hidden sodium
A low-salt diet requires more than avoiding salt added at the table. Pickles, papad, namkeen, sauces, instant foods, canned products, bakery items, and other processed foods may contain substantial hidden sodium. Patients should read labels, limit preserved foods, and choose fresh ingredients when possible. Fruits are generally not high-sodium foods, so option B is correct.
