11 major signs you’re eating way too much salt

You live on ready meals, takeaways and processed food

Ready meals, takeaways and processed food such as bacon, canned soups and breakfast cereal tend to be laden with salt. In fact, according to the NHS, a whopping 75% of the salt we eat is already in these everyday favourites. Check product labels when possible and avoid or limit foods with a red label for salt or that contain more than 1.5g per 100g. If you can, cook whole foods from scratch more often. That way, you control your salt intake instead of the supermarket or pizza joint.
