Avoid excess salt in children's food

Excess consumption of salt by children causes high BP later

Kids aged 6-18 eat an average of about 3,300 milligrams of sodium a day before salt is added at the table, says the report. That is far higher than the 2,300 milligrams per day recommended by the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
