- "Why Cut Down on Salt?
- Eating too much salt can raise your blood pressure, which triples your risk of developing heart disease or stroke.
- And since many people in the UK eat too much salt, that means that lots of people would benefit from cutting down. These are some of the benefits:
- * Cutting down on salt reduces blood pressure, whether or not your blood pressure is high to start with.
- * When your blood pressure goes down, your risk of developing heart disease and stroke goes down too, whatever your age.
- * If you have high blood pressure, cutting down on salt could lower your blood pressure after four weeks. Try to make this a permanent change to carry on seeing the positive effects.
- * You may start to notice a wider range of flavours in food, as your taste buds adjust to having less salt.
- Adults should eat no more than 6g of salt a day. Reducing the UKs average daily salt intake for adults to 6g could prevent about 17,500 premature deaths a year." Source: www.eatwell.gov.uk/healthydiet/fss/salt/whycutdownonsalt
