Participants randomized to the experimental group will be asked to follow the modified Sodium Watchers Program intervention along with goal setting for low salt foods. Each participant will be registered to assign a unique ID in the Connected Health Platform developed by the Center on Smart and Connected Health Technologies at UT Health Science Center San Antonio and each account from the individuals' wireless and wearable devices (Fitbit and BP monitor) will be connected to his or her unique ID through this platform. Participants will be instructed to log their activities in real-time, including food intake and in-home BP monitoring using Fitbit and accompanied mobile app and BP monitor. Through the Connected Health Platform, the Fitbit app and BP monitor will transmit the data of the intervention group to the research team.

Blood pressure (BP) will be measured using a Vital Signs Monitor 300 Series model (WelchAllyn, US). The midsection circumference of the dominant upper arm will be measured with a tape measure, and the proper sized cuff will be selected accordingly. Systolic and diastolic BP will be measured in the dominant arm twice with a 2-minute rest period between measures; two measures will be averaged.

Participants will complete a 24-hour urinary sodium excretion test at baseline and at 8 weeks after the intervention is completed. 24-hour urinary sodium excretion (mg excreted/day) will be tested by collecting all urine excreted over 24 hours. Participants are asked to note the time when they start in a written log, then discard the first urine after that time. They will then collect all urine excreted over the course of the next 24 hours, noting down the time and amount excreted each time in the written log. Urine is stored in a container and does not need refrigeration. 24-hour urine sodium samples will be analyzed by the Center for Renal Precision Medicine laboratory.

Adherence to dietary sodium intake monitoring will be monitored using Fitbit companion mobile dietary app. The Fitbit app is intended as an intervention tool to enhance self-monitoring and promote adherence, not a reliable assessment tool for dietary sodium intake (24-hour urinary samples will be used for that purpose as described in outcomes section). Each subject will be registered to assign a unique ID in the platform developed by the Center on Smart and Connected Health Technologies at UT Health San Antonio, and each account from the individuals' Fitbit will be connected to his or her unique ID through this platform. Subjects will be instructed to log their food intake in real-time. Percentage of days that subject log his or her meal in the dietary app with a calorie intake of over 1000 will be used to measure adherence to dietary sodium intake monitoring.
