SALT!

About three-quarters (75%) of the salt we eat is already in the food we buy. Crisps, baked beans, bread, breakfast cereal, tomato sauce and lots more other foods we eat all have stacks of extra salt added to them!

Too much salt in your diet is bad for your health and blood pressure - at any age! - So too about for how much salt is in the food that you are already eating - and think about this when you add more.
