JUST A PINCH OF SALT

by

Eva Moffat

New research shows that 22 million people in the UK are now trying to cut down the amount of salt they eat.  This has been achieved partly by not adding any extra salt to the food they eat.

It has been found that by checking the salt content on the labels of food products on the Supermarket Shelves, consumers can make their own choices of how much salt they should have in a day.

There are adverts on the television and in the newspapers recommending that an adult should have no more than 6 grams of salt in a day.

Eating too much salt puts your heart at risk.  High Blood Pressure, Heart Disease and Stroke is the cause of death of over 170 000 people a year in the UK.

Studies have shown that by reducing salt intake, Blood Pressure can be lowered within four weeks. 

If you want to be a statistic, don’t aim to be a dead one.  Cut down on your salt intake now!
