I've heard that if I eat too much salt, it can cause high blood pressure and heart problems. Is this true?

Yes, eating too much salt can increase your blood pressure and risk of heart disease. Salt is found in many processed foods, so it's important to limit the amount you're eating. Eating a healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables and limiting sodium from other sources like canned soups, frozen dinners, and snack chips can help lower your blood pressure and reduce your risk for heart disease.
