Hi everyone as it's salt awareness week and many people want to lower their sodium intake or concerned enough to want to know how myuch they are consuming as it is added to many unlikey foods, I'm also including the FDA nutritional advice as it has some very good advice.

Thank you Jerry for your post. I'm just so glad that I make just about all of my own food and only buy the very odd thing that ready made. We really do need to be mindful of what we put in our mouths and the manufacturers should have a duty of care on what they use in the ready prepared foods, we don't need lots of salt to flavour things.

Thank you Alicia and I feel the same and you are so right as many fast foods are filling in the wrong way...🤢

Fast food companies do rely on salt so much in their food, I'm so glad we make our own food.

The really funny part for me is that whilst everyone else is cutting salt I need to consume at least 6 Mg of salt daily - which I find a huge struggle & always have done. 😅

I add a heaped teaspoonful of pink Himalayan salt to my green tea every morning.
