Sodium levels in food

Its very usual for doctors to ask patients with high blood pressure to cut on sodium/salt.So when I was asked to do the same I started avoiding salted stuff. But now when I am checking the sodium content in day to day food , I am kinda shocked.
See I was avoiding the food which is know for high sodium/salt. But when I checked the sodium in the bread I buy from local grocery stores, I was surprised.
I slice of any bread contains minimum 7% sodium and it easily goes up to 11%.
This is just bread mind you. I eat a lot of it , so if I take a bread with 10% sodium and east 4 slices, that's it I have already consumed almost half my allowed limit.
Also this limit is for normal people with no issues. For people with high BP it is supposed to be lower than that.
I like some vegan vegetarian patties , they are tasty and have high protein , same with vegan hot dogs/Tofu etc. But the sodium in these is pretty high. The patty I like from Boca has 18% sodium in it.

So if I eat 1 patty with 2 slices of bread with some cheese or lets say any spread , that's it I am easily way 50% of recommended daily sodium levels.

This is just too much of sodium/salt . Just imagine eating outside for more than 50% of a week.
You won;t even know how much you are consuming if you eat to hotels/sandwich shops etc.

Everyone likes to add sodium as that's what makes food taste better.
So I am now eating mostly at home , very occasionally do I eat outside. In fact I have a bread maker at home and that's what I should do , make my low sodium bread at home.
