The NHS recommends having no more than six grams of salt daily. However, it’s important to remember that salt doesn’t only come from the salt shaker in your kitchen as it’s often hidden in foods.
What does the research say?
Potassium has previously been linked to lower blood pressure, however, the new research stressed that the mineral can especially help women.
The research found that the more grams of potassium women eat daily, the bigger the reduction of blood pressure.
Looking at 25,000 participants between the ages of 40 to 97, the study found that women who had the highest intake of potassium had a 11 percent lower risk of hospitalisation or death due to cardiovascular disease.
