Why all the importance on Salt and Sodium content?
Salt matters for two very compelling reasons:
- it causes or aggravates over 20 salt-related health problems
- at least 6 million Australians (half the adult population) have one or more salt-related health problems
The two most common and very serious health problems are:
- pre-hypertension
- hypertension
The two health problems with the most dramatic difference when skipping salt (both recovering within 4 weeks) are:
- premenstrual syndrome
- the vertigo of Meniere’s Disease
Salt Skip News, distributed in the ‘BP Monitor’, the Queensland Hypertension Association newsletter, is published bi monthly from February to December. It contains a variety of articles focusing on low salt. You can download the newsletters below:
