(1/1)

monirprdu:
Raised blood pressure is the biggest single cause of cardiovascular  disease accounting for 62% of strokes and 49% of heart disease.
Strokes and coronary heart disease kill more people around the world than any other cause of death – around 12.7 million people each year.
It is estimated that reducing salt intake by 6g a day could lead to a 24% reduction in deaths from strokes and an 18% reduction in deaths from coronary heart disease, thus preventing approximately 2.6 million stroke and heart attack deaths each year worldwide.
