Limit salt intake

Although you need some salt to maintain your body's sodium balance, high intake is linked to high blood pressure, one of the main risk factors for coronary heart disease.
Try to limit your consumption of processed and snack foods, bacon and salami, nd avoid adding extra salt to your food at the table and when cooking. Eating more fruit and vegetables, which contain potassium, helps balance sodium levels.
