Reduce the amount of sauce you eat, or buy the reduced salt versions

Cook from scratch as much as you can. Processed sandwich fillings, ready meals, takeaways and even tinned soup can contain lots of salt!

If you keep a salt shaker on the table, pop it back in the cupboard! Try adding flavour using herbs or spices instead!
