13^th-19^th May is Salt Awareness Week

Regularly eating too much salt can increase our risk of developing high blood pressure. High blood pressure is the main cause of strokes, and a major cause of heart attacks, the two biggest causes of death around the world.   

Reducing salt in our diets is a quick and effective way to reduce our blood pressure and improve our health. We often don’t realise just how much salt we are eating because most of the salt we eat is already in the food we buy.
