Lowering your salt intake is an important part of lowering your risk of heart disease, but many people just aren’t getting the message. They are still adding salt to their food at the table, even though most packaged food is already heavily-laden with it.
Hide the salt shaker at your house. Don’t put it on the table at meal time, and don’t keep one visible in the kitchen when you are cooking. All you need for the entire day is a teaspoon. That’s it. There are about 300 million prescriptions being filled for high blood pressure medication every year in the U.S. Lowering your salt intake may help you avoid being someone who needs to get one.
