What Are Some Challenges in Reducing Sodium Intake?
Patients may face several challenges in reducing sodium intake, including:
- Difficulty in changing long-standing eating habits. - Limited access to fresh and low-sodium foods. - Lack of understanding about hidden sources of sodium. - Cultural preferences for high-sodium foods.
Nurses should address these challenges by providing practical solutions, such as suggesting affordable low-sodium food options and offering [culturally sensitive]() dietary advice.
