Default Sodiumn and sugar

Limit your intake of sodium and sugar. A diet that includes a great deal of sodium may increase the risk of high blood pressure. Sodium is found in many foods, including canned vegetables, frozen dinners, pickles, processed cheeses, table salt, and such snack foods as potato crisps and nuts. One way to reduce sodium intake is to use herbs and other seasonings instead of salt in cooking and at the table. Another way is to select fresh foods rather than canned or frozen foods.

Foods that contain a lot of sugar are often high in calories and fat but low in minerals, proteins, and vitamins. Nutritionists sometimes call them "empty calorie" foods, because they may make a person feel full but provide few nutrients. In addition, sugar that remains in and around the teeth contributes to tooth decay. Foods that have a large amount of sugar include sweets, pastries, many breakfast cereals, and sweetened canned fruit. In place of sugary foods, nutritionists advise people to eat foods such as fresh fruit and vegetables. They also recommend that people drink unsweetened fruit and vegetable juices instead of soft drinks.

i am mostly towards the salty snack than the sweet ones. I don't take too much but in correct amount. I don't think you would be able to eat something which don't have enought salt.!!
