Snacking on fresh fruits and vegetables instead of salty snacks is a good choice for Matt as these foods are naturally low in sodium. This will help him to reduce his intake of sodium, which can help to lower his blood pressure. Choosing canned or dried soups and not rinsing canned beans may actually increase his sodium intake, and canned creamed corn may also be high in sodium.
