Salt Awareness

Too much salt can harm our health, leading to unnecessary deaths from heart attacks and strokes. A diet high in salt can cause raised blood pressure, which can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke.

Adults should eat no more than 5g of salt a day and many items already contain salt.
