Shake The Habit: What You Need to Know About Salt and Your Health

Salt might seem harmless : just a sprinkle here, a pinch there. But most of us are consuming way more than we realise, and it’s quietly wreaking havoc on our health. Too much salt in your diet is one of the leading causes of high blood pressure, which increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney problems, and even osteoporosis. The scariest part? You don’t have to be a fast food lover or a salt shaker addict to be at risk. Around 75% of the salt we consume is hidden in processed foods like bread, cheese, sauces, cereals, and snacks.
