ONE TINY CHANGE

TOSS THE SALT

Although our bodies do need salt to stay healthy, we typically tend to overdo things with the salt shaker here in Mzansi, consuming up to two teaspoons a day, when we only really need a ¼ teaspoon. That tiny quarter includes the salt naturally found in food. Too much salt can lead to high blood pressure. Don’t keep a salt shaker on the table, and don’t let your children get into the habit of adding salt either.
