Can you have too much salt in your diet?

Yes you can and you don't have to put salt on your food to do it. Processed foods can be high in salt and not taste salty, always check the packaging. The sodium in salt helps to keep your body fluids at the right concentration but too much salt causes the volume of body fluids to increase and pushes up your blood pressure. High blood pressure can result in heart disease or stroke. The average daily intake of adults is about 9.5g salt (about 3.7g sodium). To reduce the risk to health the adult daily salt intake should be around 6g salt (2.5g sodium). The daily salt intake of young children varies depending on their age but babies should have less than 1g of salt a day.
