A behavioral intervention that taught adults to use herbs and spices instead of salt led to a decrease in sodium consumption compared to people who tried to reduce sodium on their own.
Adults taking part in a 20-week behavioral intervention consumed 966 mg/day less salt than their self-directed counterparts.
