Did you know that the average Canadian adult eats 3,500 mg of sodium (salt) every day? Did you kow that processed food contains about 10 times the amount of salt as natural food (and is the source of most of the salt in our diet). Cutting salt intake by half to the recommended levels would result in 10-20% fewer major strokes, 10-25% less heart failure, and 3-7% fewer heart attacks. [University of Calgary, Simon Fraser University] Lowering salt intake to 1,100 to 1,500 mg would mean 16,776 fewer cases of stroke and heart disease a year. [Canadian Hournal of Cardiology]
