Consuming more than six grams of salt per day can lead to high blood pressure. One way to limit your salt and sodium intake is to avoid pre-packaged convenience foods.

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.


How many serves of fats salt and sugars are you supposed to have each day?

I could give you a specific estimate, but I would urge you to take a more intuitive approach to your diet. Don't have more than a small handful of sweets per day, try to eat lean mean (less fat content), and eat things like nuts that have 'good' fats and oil in them. When you buy products from the supermarket check their salt content. Many cereals, spreads and other packaged goods can have a high salt content which is damaging to your health. Heart Foundation advice is that all Australians should at least reduce their salt intake to less than 6g of salt a day (approximately 2,300mg of sodium a day, so take this into account. We need salt, but too much is a bad thing. As always, eat in moderation, and drink lots of water!
