Salt is essential for our health but cutting down on salt can dramatically reduce your health risks.

Eating too much salt causes an increase in your blood pressure, which can lead to heart diseases and stroke.
ex> Excessive drinking can lead to long-term brain damage.

So it's very important to keep an eye on how much salt you eat.

On average, Koreans eat more than 12.5 grams of salt daily.

Health experts recommend no more than 6 grams a day.

That's only a teaspoon of salt.

You should always try to stay away from salty foods.
