Chili

There’s something about chili that just makes you feel better, especially on a cold day when you just want to snuggle in and treat yourself. But eating highly processed chili from a can is no way to treat yourself. It’s loaded with sodium—in fact, some canned chili has a whopping 1100 mg of it.
