Guest Blogger on Passing (on) the salt...


Do you know your daily recommended salt intake?

According to this BBC article, "The government recommends a maximum of 6g of salt per day for adults, 5g a day for children aged 7-10 and 3g for children aged 4-6."

This is easily achieved when a typical McDonald's meal of a Quarter Pounder with Cheese Meal (quarter pounder burger with cheese, medium fries, medium coca cola) has 3.2 grams of salt!

Think about this:
How much salt do you consume a day?
What does too much salt do to our body?

Remember, you are what you eat!
