Salt
The government watchdog, The Food Standards Agency, has announced targets for reducing salt in a range of food products.
The move is designed to cut average daily salt intake in the diet, as too much salt is linked to high blood pressure, which can increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
What should we do？
Dr. Wynnie Chan, a nutrition scientist for the British Nutrition Foundation, says that everybody should look to reduce the amount of salt in their diet.
"It would have a significant effect on those people who need to reduce their salt levels because they are susceptible to hypertension, but it would also do no harm for the whole population to reduce its salt intake,"she said. Dr. Chan said there were four main ways to reduce salt intake:
Stop adding table salt to food once it is served;
Choose items with a reduced sodium content;
Carefully monitor the salt content of processed food;
Eat more fruit and vegetables—they contain potassium which balances the effect of salt on the body.
Reading food labels can be confusing as they often give the sodium, rather than the salt content of food. To calculate the amount of salt in a product, multiply the sodium content by two-and-a-half times.
