If you can’t cut salt straight away in cooking try gradually cutting down on the amount you add – try using garlic, herbs and spices instead – you’ll be surprised how quickly you get used to having less and soon you won’t need it at all.

Don’t put the salt cellar on the table.

Try making your own pasta sauces, make in batches and store in the freezer for a speedy meal.

Look for new recipes that are full of flavour and look enticing - again make larger amounts and freeze so you don’t need fast food.
