Less salt, less chance of heart disease

Researchers from Harvard University have discovered that by eating less salt you can prevent heart diseases. In the research conducted with 3000 individuals, they asked half the people to restrict their salt intake to one half teaspoon, about 1,15 grams of sodium. Fifteen years later there is 30% less heart disease among this group. High sodium intake can harden arteries, says the research leader. So don’t eat too much salt is the advice. Avoid canned foods or ready made meals, those are generally high in salt.
