It’s not just the salt shaker on your table — it’s what’s already hiding in your food.

Today we’re unpacking how everyday habits, packaged foods, and “just a pinch” cooking routines can quietly push sodium intake far higher than most people realise — and what that means for long-term heart health.

We’re joined by Dr Emma Beckett, nutritional scientist, to break down where salt is really coming from, why we overuse it without noticing, and how small changes can make a measurable difference over time.
