Go Low for Life!

Salt is an essential mineral. It helps to stimulate the tastebuds and adds flavor to food. You can get too much of a good thing though, and never has a saying been truer than when it comes to salt. Too much salt in our diets can adversely affect our health in lots of different ways, and this is the message from World Salt Awareness Week which takes places every year. The campaign aims to promote just how important it is to limit our daily salt intake by preparing healthy and flavorful meals. Go Low for Life features 40 low salt recipes for appetizers, soups, salads and mains including: - Citrus-Thyme Cod Cakes
- Steamed Shrimp and Pork Dumplings
- Golden Beet and Peach Soup with Tarragon
- Jeweled Whole Wheat Couscous Salad
- Caribbean Chicken Stir-Fry
- Fettuccine with Clams Each recipe clearly shows the amount of grams of salt per serving to help you ensure that your family's daily salt intake falls into the recommended daily maximum of 5g per day. Reducing how much salt we include in our diets during World Salt Awareness Week and beyond can help us enjoy a happy and healthy life.
