I'm a noodle-girl through and through. So, naturally, one of my priorities, after my dad returned from the hospital due to heart failure, was to find some heart-healthy noodles to make his classic noodle meals that he loves. Here is a list of noodles that are low in sodium and suitable for a low-sodium or heart-healthy diet. Enjoy!
