Many of us have a habit of adding extra salt to our meals when we sit down to eat. This love for seasoning has been linked to early death.
New research has found that those who always add salt to their food have a 28% increased risk of dying prematurely in comparison to those who never or rare season their food with salt.
The study, which involved more than 500,000 Brits, calculated that one extra person in every 100 who add salt to their food may die young.
