Flavor your food with herbs for a heart-healthy diet

Step away from the salt shaker.
It’s practically a mantra for Vonnie Coover-Stone, 56, a registered nurse at Sharp Coronado Hospital and a former personal chef. Low-sodium dishes are what she served her clients for more than a decade, and it’s how she’s always cooked for herself and her family.
Whether it’s a stuffed breakfast burrito, a rich marinara or a hearty soup, Coover-Stone’s cuisine adheres to the guidelines of theAmerican Cancer Society and American Heart Association: unprocessed, portion controlled, low-fat and low-salt.
