My companion wanted to have a beer so was not keen. But we did go in...It turned out that despite masses of cakes... displayed in the window NO Salt was a restaurant, not a patisserie! Guidelines recommend adults have no more than 6g of salt per day. In the UK we consume closer to 8g; in the US, 8.5g. For example, a low-sodium diet is commonly prescribed to people with certain medical conditions, including heart failure, high blood pressure and kidney disease.

While your body needs some salt to function properly, too much of it can be detrimental to your health. Might harm heart health That said, reports of deaths or close calls due to ingesting potassium chloride are rare. Children and people with medical problems are most at risk. The NoSalt label includes the warning “Persons having diabetes, heart or kidney disease, or persons receiving medical treatment should consult a physician before using a salt alternative or substitute.” But the label also says, “Recommended for salt or sodium-restricted diets… dietary reduction of sodium may help in reducing high blood pressure.” It goes on to offer a “suggested lifestyle modification for management of high blood pressure,” which to me suggests that consumers are being urged to self-medicate. The label on Morton Salt Substitute is clearer: “Consult physician before using any salt substitute.” However they label it, the fact that you can buy this stuff in the spice section of the supermarket has togive you pause.

If you have any health conditions and have been encouraged to reduce your salt intake, it’s important that you follow your healthcare professional’s recommendations. A salad is a perfect side dish and is enjoyed by one and all. Salads also play a vital role in increasing the green content in our daily diet.
