The amount of salt you eat has a direct effect on your blood pressure. Salt makes your body hold onto water, this extra water stored in your body raises your blood pressure, the higher your blood pressure, the greater the strain on your heart, arteries, kidneys and brain which can lead to heart attacks, strokes, dementia & kidney disease.
