Why is 'Low-Sodium' Key to De-Puffing? 🤔
 |
| Sodium OUT! Puffiness GONE! 💧 |
Our bodies try to maintain a constant sodium concentration. So, if you eat a lot of salty food, your body tends to hold onto more water. This is what leads to puffiness! 💧
Especially if you have late-night snacks or regularly eat soupy dishes or processed foods, you're more likely to experience puffiness in your face, hands, or feet the next morning. Of course, salt is an essential mineral for our body, but too much of anything can be a problem! Just reducing your sodium intake a little can make your body feel much lighter and alleviate puffiness. 😊
🧂 Less Salt, More Flavor! Tasty Low-Sodium Cooking Tips ✨
Forget the prejudice that "low-sodium = bland food"! 🙅♀️ You can add flavor in many ways without relying on salt.
- 🌿 Use Spices & Herbs: Black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, basil, rosemary – natural spices greatly enhance food flavor!
- 🍋 Add a Tang: A little lemon juice or vinegar can stimulate your appetite and make you feel less need for salt.
- 🍄 Boost Umami: Ingredients like mushrooms, kelp, or shiitake mushroom powder provide natural savory flavors.
- 🌶️ Utilize Spiciness: Appropriate use of chili powder or green chili can combat blandness. (But not too spicy!)
- 💧 Use Good Oils: A drizzle of olive oil, sesame oil, or perilla oil at the end adds a nutty aroma.
- 🥕 Leverage Natural Flavors: Maximizing the natural sweetness and flavors of fresh vegetables and ingredients is also key!
At first, I also worried, "How can I eat it if it's bland?" But by focusing on the ingredients' natural tastes and using various spices, I actually came to enjoy more diverse and healthy flavors! 😊

vkki's Tip 💡: Add bean sprouts for a crunchy texture. If you like it spicy, add a pinch of chili powder.
4. Kelp-Wrapped Brown Rice & Low-Sodium Ssamjang Box 🍙
Ingredients: Brown rice, kelp for wraps (ssam dashima), chicken sausage (check for low-sodium!) or baked tofu, low-sodium ssamjang (doenjang/soybean paste, minced nuts, diced onion/bell pepper, sesame/perilla oil, a little oligosaccharide)
Instructions:
- Lightly rinse kelp wraps and drain.
- Mix all low-sodium ssamjang ingredients. (Nuts add a nutty flavor and help excrete sodium!)

5. Tomato Egg Fried Rice Box 🍅🥚
Ingredients: Brown or multigrain rice, eggs, tomato, onion, green onion, a tiny bit of low-sodium oyster sauce or low-sodium ketchup, black pepper

vkki's Tip 💡: Add vegetables like broccoli or peas for better nutrition and color! Use oyster sauce or ketchup very sparingly, just for a hint of flavor.
✨ Meal Prep Essentials: Just Remember This! ✨
- Use compartmentalized lunch boxes: They prevent food smells and sauces from mixing.
- Pack dressings/sauces separately: Pour salad dressings or stir-fry sauces right before eating.
- Maintain freshness: Especially in summer, use an ice pack to keep food fresh!
