Navigating Global Cuisine with POTS: Your High-Sodium Dining Guide

For those managing Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), maintaining high sodium intake is crucial – yet dining out abroad can feel like a maze of uncertainty. Language barriers and hidden ingredients turn menu exploration into a gamble. Fortunately, mm food transforms this challenge into a delicious adventure.

The POTS Dining Dilemma:

Travel often means unfamiliar cuisines and unpredictable sodium levels. Soups might look promising but lack salt concentration, while seemingly safe dishes could accidentally trigger sensitivities. Traditional translation apps miss critical dietary context, leaving you guessing about whether a Japanese ramen's broth has sufficient salt or if that Spanish cocido stew is sodium-rich enough.

How mm food Empowers You:

1. Smart Menu Translation: Scan any foreign menu for real-time translation, with a POTS-aware filter highlighting naturally sodium-dense dishes like:
   • Vietnamese pho (bone broth)
   • Korean kimchi jjigae (fermented stew)
   • Italian cured meats and olives
   • Indian pickles and chaats
2. Custom Sodium Safeguards: Set "high sodium" as a dietary requirement alongside allergies (e.g., gluten-free). Our AI cross-references preparation methods, flagging dishes like Greek feta salads or Mexican ceviche that meet both sodium needs and restrictions.
3. Cuisine-Specific Insights: Discover POTS-friendly gems worldwide:
   • Japan: Shio ramen (salt-based broth), miso soup
   • Thailand: Tom yum soup, fish sauce-based curries
   • Ethiopia: Spicy berbere-seasoned wots (stews)
   • Peru: Salt-crusted seafood preparations

Pro Tips for POTS Diners:

• Always verify broths/sauces – mm food identifies hidden sodium sources like soy sauce or anchovy paste.
• Use the "Custom Restriction" feature to exclude triggers (e.g., vinegar if it affects autoimmune symptoms).
• Save verified dishes to your profile for future reference at chain locations.

Embrace global flavors without hesitation. With mm food, you’ll find safe, sodium-rich options that turn dining abroad from stressful to sensational – one translated, diet-verified dish at a time.
