People suffering from hypertension, diabetes, obesity and kidney ailment should never reach for the saltshaker on the table.
Salt is used to give more flavor to the food we eat. However we must be careful not to use too much of it as it can cause or increase health risks.
Aside from not reaching for some extra salt on the dining table, we should also avoid consuming too many pre-packed foods since they contain a lot of salts and seasonings detrimental to health. Instant soups, chips and even certain brands of cereals contain amounts of salt way beyond the allowable proportions.
