Pumpkin isn’t just for the fall season—it’s a low-sodium nutritional powerhouse that’s packed with fiber, beta-carotene (which the body converts to vitamin A), and potassium. This combination supports immune function, eye health, and blood pressure regulation. Canned pumpkin (unsalted and unsweetened) can be used in oatmeal, soups, smoothies, or homemade baked goods. Fresh pumpkin can be roasted, blended into hummus, or pureed for a naturally sweet and creamy texture.

Bell peppers are a vibrant, crunchy vegetable that adds bold flavor and color without any sodium. They’re rich in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants that help fight inflammation and boost heart health. Their natural sweetness enhances both raw and cooked dishes, making them a perfect addition to salads, stir-fries, omelets, or sandwiches. Try roasting them for a smoky depth or stuffing them with quinoa and vegetables for a nutrient-dense, low-sodium meal.
