Well, this is the oddest food holiday I've found, next to Dress Up Like An Ear Of Corn Day*, but let's see what we can do with it.
It's always good to use less salt, especially if you have high blood pressure (and a lot more people in the country have high blood pressure than anyone realizes - what used to be "borderline" is now too high). I haven't added salt to food in over 10 years (no joke), usually substituting pepper if I need a little seasoning. I also like those no-salt seasoning like Mrs. Dash. Go check out that aisle in your supermarket. I think you'll be surprised at what you'll find there.
Here's some info on using less salt. Here's a recipe for Linguine with Fresh Herbs you might want to try, and how about some tips on drying fresh herbs?

2) Only about 15% of the people in this country with hypertension have salt-related hypertension. The rest of them can use as much salt as they like.

More salt isn't always the answer to improving flavor, but of all my cooking skills, I think knowing how much salt to add is probably the most important!
