JOHANNESBURG - Salt of the earth? Sure, but being salty could break your heart.

This puts your heart, brain, and kidneys at serious risk.
This year’s theme, ‘5 Ways to 5 Grams,’ is more than a catchy slogan; it’s a wake-up call.
Professor Pamela Naidoo from the foundation dishes the facts and fixes.
