Don’t pass the salt

(American Heart Association)- Most people think that as long as they lay off the salt shaker, they’re solid. No heart disease or bloating for them! But surprisingly, 65% of daily sodium intake comes from grocery stores, not the table top. Not to mention that excessive amounts of sodium also puts you at risk for stomach cancer!

So next time you’re in the grocery store, consider these facts and pay attention to the sodium content as well at fat and calories!!
