Anyone else cutting out the sodium? What do you use?

I know we don't, and as I mentioned, most people I know who even think at all about eating healthy eat very little, if any, of restaurant and prepackaged foods. ?

I use veggie broths either powdered, boxed or concentrated, for most of my meals, whether rice, lentils, peas, etc...instead of plain water. The problem is the sodium content.
It's hard to give up the flavor, but im going to try some new ideas.

Do you know of any research that suggests that high salt intake is associated with PVCs, PACs, or any other cardiac arrhythmia? I significantly reduced my salt intake one year ago. For a year before that, I followed the McDougall Plan fairly strictly, but I didn't think much about salt. After about two weeks of no added salt, my chronic arrhythmia disappeared, and has not returned, knock on wood.
