Guest Blogger on Salt and You

Eating too much salt is bad for your health. You are more likely to get high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke if you take in too much salt in your diet. Although some salt is necessary but doctors recommend that a person takes no more than one level teaspoon a day.

Take note that some sweet things and food like cakes, biscuits and bread can contain high level of salt. So beware! There are ways to lower the amount of salt you eat. One way is to choose fresh food instead of pre-prepared, processed or pickled ones. look out for Healthier Choice symbol.

Finally, eat lots of different fruits and vegetables everyday - naturally low in salt and great source of health-boosting vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.

Should you add chilli sauce or ketchup to your french fries?

What food contain natural salt?
