Why Cut Out Salt?

Salt is a mineral that is essential for life. However, too much salt can lead to a number of health problems, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. The American Heart Association recommends that adults consume no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day. However, most Americans consume much more than this, with the average intake being around 3,400 milligrams per day.

Cutting out salt can be difficult, but it is worth it for the health benefits. By reducing your salt intake, you can lower your blood pressure, reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke, and improve your overall health.

Tips for Reducing Your Salt Intake

Here are a few tips for reducing your salt intake:

• Cook more meals at home. Restaurant food is often high in salt.
• Read food labels carefully and choose foods that are low in sodium.
• Use salt-free seasonings, such as herbs, spices, and lemon juice.
• Gradually reduce the amount of salt you add to your food.
• Avoid processed foods, such as chips, crackers, and frozen meals.
