2. Less salt.
We rarely realize just how much salt we eat and what an impact it can have on our health. The standard salt intake in many countries is 9-12 g a day, but the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends 5g a day. Finding products that are free of salt is almost impossible. It’s always a good idea to read the ingredients list carefully, paying particular attention to sodium content. The numbers you might find there are often surprising. Try to limit your salt intake to 2.5 g (a teaspoon) a day. Choose not to salt the food you cook, use your favorite spices and herbs instead.
