A brand new study shows that too much of salt more than double the risk of a heart failure. Scientists in Finland studied over 4000 adults, correlating their dietary habits with cardiac problems, finding that those who consumed the most salt were 110 per cent more prone to develop a heart failure. Heart issues is known as one of Britain's major killers. Average salt intake in the country is 8g a day, down from 8.8 g a decade earlier.
Professor Sir Nilesh Samani, medical director at the British Heart Foundation said, “We need to consume some salt in our diet but most Western diets have salt intakes much greater than the amount required to be healthy.”
