Ditch the salt pot

Juliette's nutrition tip : Ditch the salt pot

Health experts recommend we all eat less salty food to stay healthy. As a guideline we should aim to have no more than 6g of salt a day, although children should have even less than this. Start by ditching the salt pot so you're not tempted to add the white stuff to cooking and meals. Then start looking at the labels on foods and choose ones that contain the least salt (or sodium).

I wouldn't get rid of salt completely as I think it's needed to get the best taste in some meals, but generally I don't add salt to food anyway.
