Too much salt is bad for you!
Salt was once a highly valuable commodity, prized for its scarceness (in fact Roman centurions used to be paid in it, which is how we got the word ‘salary’).

But these days, it’s hard to escape it.

Hidden in so many everyday foods – from bread, breakfast cereals, biscuits, snacks and sauces to pizza, prepared meals, cheese, cured meats & fish – it’s very easy to consume too much without even knowing it.

Until, that is, your health takes a turn for the worse. Too much sodium (the problem component) can dramatically raise blood pressure leading to heart problems and the risk of strokes.
