One of the most tiresome jobs uk doctors continually find themselves doing is emphasising the health benefits of reducing salt in food. Now a creditable organisation has become prominent in the fight to lower salt in food - encouraging better labelling of food by manufacturers and supermarkets such as the CO-OP and promoting using fresh ingredients without adding salt when cooking.
Medical staff can almost be heard breathing a sigh of releif as they put their stethoscope to their ears when performing routine blood pressure checks - at last - a reference to reinforce their health message.
A team of health care specialists formed Consensus Action on Salt & Health - cash - and includes cardiologists who are also involved with www.bpassoc.org.uk
This organisation has rallied to the calls for reduced salt in food and is able to offer evidence of the effect a diet high in salt can have on blood pressure.
Earlier this year (2008) it promoted a Salt Awareness Week and the reported commitment of leading food producers and sellers such as Pizza Hut, McCain, Walkers, M&S and Heinz to begin reducing salt in the food is a triumphant step forward.
"Many people believe that they are not at risk if they don't add salt to food when cooking or at the table" reported a leading health awareness website "however blood pressure readings with my trusty littmann cardiology stethoscope reveals the truth about the impact of hidden salt in food".
