Spice Up Your Life! (Found on the web)

For many of us, salt is our spice of choice for flavoring whatever we're cooking. But the truth is, high amounts of sodium in your diet can harm your heart. So the next time you reach for the salt shaker, try using some of these flavorful herbs and spices instead. They'll give your food a whole new kick, and they won't hurt your heart.

To start, use small amounts of these herbs and spices to see if you like them.

Basil: Use in soups, salads, vegetables, fish, and meats.

Cinnamon: Use in salads, vegetables, breads, and snacks.
