Brits still eating too much salt

Finding the right kinds of foods to lead to a healthy eating regimen is a constant battle that can overwhelm most of us. One of the easy methods to get rid of unhealthy foods is to ensure what you eat is not stocked with tons of sodium -- the classic (and cheap) way to make many foods taste good as the cost of possible hypertension and other sodium-related health issues.

And, this is not just tied to most of the junk foods eaten by U.S. customers -- many Western societies are eating too much sodium in those diets. Take Britain -- the country still eats too much salt according to a new report by the UK's Food Standards Agency (FSA).

The overall average salt intake by Britons has fallen from 9.5g to 9.0g a day for women and 10.2g down from 11g in men -- both from 2001 to 2007.
