About the Author

Bobbie Mostyn was diagnosed with hypertension in 1999 and told to watcher her salt intake. The simple chore of food shopping quickly became an overwhelming process of reading product labels and searching through nutritional counters. Using her previous experience as a medical company researcher, Bobbie was determined to make the process easier for herself and other health-conscious people. In 2003, she introduced "The Pocket Guide to Low Sodium Foods," a practical resource that simplified the process of making low-sodium food choices. Today, in its fourth edition, Bobbie's guide continues to empower individuals to take control of their health while navigating the grocery aisles with ease.
