Reducing men’s average salt intake will reduce incidences of cardiovascular disease which will save thousands of lives every year.

The week will encourage everyone, especially men, to think about how much salt they are eating, to check labels when shopping and to make more of their own food at home, while also encouraging the food industry to reduce the salt that they add to processed foods.

Further information, including leaflets and posters relating to the event, are available from the CASH website (www.actiononsalt.org.uk).
