    If you remove sodium from your diet you will die ! do your research ! use
    sea salt like Himalayan salt or Dead Sea salt…. remember … no salts no
    electrical conductivity in your blood …. no conductivity in your blood no

    process it a little less than I did and you will have a chunkier sauce. :)
    which can double as a salsa! ~Amanda

    Maybe try going raw to stay healthier? Just an idea, by the way sauce looks
    good.

    Thanks for the info. We of course realize that “no salt” would be
    impossible first off and of course your body cannot survive without
    electrolytes. With high blood pressure however, a diet change had to be
    made and a drastic decrease in sodium intake had to take place as there was
    just too much in our diets. What more can I say other than I’m human and my
    craving for sweet and salty are … hard to deny ourselves from. -Randy

    oh yeah. soooo tasty. as I said, it doesn’t save any money but it sure
    tastes great! and if you can make three meals worth at a time like this, it
    feels like no trouble at all. we barely edited anything out of this video,
    it really only takes 10mins or less to prepare once you have the
    ingredients. ~Amanda

    Home made sauces are the best, especially when home grown herbs go into it
    :)

    Thanks for sharing Amanda. I made pasta sauce this past fall and it turned
    out well.

    That sauce looks really simple and delicious! As someone who is in your
    situation and does not need a lot of sodium in my life I would highly
    suggest reading labels on ALL the processed food you do eat. Sodium hides
    everywhere! Lunch meat is a huge culprit, breads, cheese, and pre-seasoned
    meats. I use a lot of garlic, ginger, onion fresh herbs and even lemon or
    lime juice to flavor things and you won’t even miss the salt. Google Sodium

    Thanks, I read labels on everything. cheese is probably my worst
    high-sodium ingredient that I buy and use. I gave up lunch meat a few years
    ago when I was waiting to have gall bladder removal surgery (lunch meat is
    known to irritate gall stones) and I just lost the taste for lunch meat so
    that was easy to give up. I avoid breads in general – choosing meals that
    don’t use breads. I have given up canned and preprepared store bought
    meals. ~Amanda
