Substituting your table salt for something with lower sodium could improve your heart health.
Most salt substitutes are made of potassium chloride, which has recently been shown to reduce the chance of recurrent strokes.
Despite this, not everyone should be reaching for potassium chloride. And not everyone can afford to.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedAll of us deal with a level of health anxiety at times, but for some people it devolves into full-blown hypochondria. This can be so stressful that people do get sick – experiencing symptoms that can’t be explained by tests or scans.
