Welcome to our websiteCutting salt and fat levels in food could save thousands of lives, says NICE Up to 40,000 deaths from heart disease and stroke could be prevented each year by reducing the levels of salt and saturated fat in our food, latest guidance from NICE suggests. Cardiovascular disease is one of the biggest killers in the UK, with nearly three million women and three million men currently living with the disease. Every year, there are 300,000 new cases of cardiovascular disease, with those living in deprived areas three times more likely to develop the disease. But despite the prevalence of the disease, around 90 per cent
of deaths are largely preventable and can be tackled by making
changes to diet, giving up smoking and increasing levels of physical
activity. This action alone would result in 15,000 - 20,000 fewer deaths from heart disease and stroke every year. Countdown to 30 Years of NOHPG!
