The good news
about salt

Salt is an important and essential mineral in many body functions. At the recommended level of no more than 5g or a teaspoon a day, salt helps to:

• Control blood sugar by promoting insulin sensitivity, which decreases the risk of diabetes.

• Maintain the right levels of stomach acid needed for good digestion.

• Reduce stress hormones and improve sleep quality.

• Improve metabolism and encourage a healthy weight.

• Support a healthy thyroid function, which helps the brain, muscles, heart and other organs work efficiently and controls how the body uses food for energy.

• Balance hormone levels, helping the body to retain other important minerals such as magnesium and potassium.
