Salt for life is a unique salt alternative because it’s actually made of salt. It just has 75% less sodium vs. regular salt and replaces the sodium with potassium, which can reduce your risk for heart disease! This makes it taste and look just like regular salt, but it’s a whole lot healthier for you.
If you think you don’t need less salt in your diet, think again! 90% of Americans consume more salt than recommended, which increases your risk for cardiovascular disease. That’s why I have a solution for you - Nutek’s Practice Safe Salt campaign!
