Avoid excess salt in children's food

Excess consumption of salt by children causes high BP later

“Too many children are consuming way too much sodium, and the result will be risks of high blood pressure and heart disease in the future,” says CDC director Tom Frieden. “Most sodium is from processed and restaurant food, not the salt shaker. Reducing sodium intake will help our children avoid tragic and expensive health problems.”
