According to UK health guidelines, adults should eat no more than 6g of salt a day (2.4g sodium) – that’s around one teaspoon.
It’s been estimated that for every one gram of salt Britons cut from their average daily intake, there would be approximately 6,000 fewer deaths from strokes and heart attacks each year in the UK.
It’s also been estimated that a reduction in salt intake from 10g a day to 6g will reduce blood pressure and could lead to a 16 percent reduction in deaths from strokes and a 12 percent reduction in deaths from coronary heart disease.
This would prevent approximately 19,000 stroke and heart attack deaths in the UK each year and 2.6 million each year worldwide.
