Salt Awareness Week 13- 19th May 2024

Posted on by

13th-19th 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.   

Find out more in our new short video: https://youtu.be/JC9ZoGD6T0w?si=Ws9Mtsb5x4s0FBnd

A wide range of free 30 min nutrition webinars for all life stages and healthy recipe videos are available.
