Doctors say it often, salt should be consumed in moderation, but we did not know that salt was so dangerous! A recent study in the United States showed that reducing your daily salt intake would be as effective as quitting smoking or eating more fruits and vegetables.
Indeed, according to researchers, just 3 grams of salt less per day would reduce cases of coronary heart disease from 60,000 to 120,000 each year. The strokes would also drop from 30,000 to 60,000. This study is actually not surprising when we know that salt is present at each of our meals, even when we do not touch the salt shaker. Meat sold in supermarkets, cheese, cold meats, ready-made meals already contain a large amount of salt, no need to add more.
