A student is calling on people to eat more home-made food as they will be able to control the amount of salt in them.
Year 7 student of Saint Agnes Primary School, Gerard Furivai said he knows everyone likes to eat chicken nuggets, chips, burgers and pizzas but people should try their best to eat as much food prepared at home.
He said a lot of people die from heart attack and stroke every year and a high intake of salt is one of the contributing factors.
Furivai was speaking today at Saint Agnes Primary School in Nabua during the launch of the Salt Awareness week.
