Eating too much salt can affect the health of your heart by causing things such as high blood pressure and stiffening of the blood vessels. The NHS suggests that lowering your salt intake is one of the most important aspects of maintaining a healthy diet.
Limiting your salt intake doesn't mean confining your diet to bland, tasteless foods; instead, think of it as a chance to get creative with how you season your food.
