For the most part you can't "reduce sodium"... what's there is going to be there.

What you can do is avoid adding sodium to natural foods, and buy only processed foods where the processor has limited the amount of added salt. (Processed foods tend to be really, really horrible about putting the salt in with a shovel, unless you deliberately make an effort to buy only "low-sodium" items.)
