A short, animated storytelling video about sodium intake as a major cardiovascular risk factor and recommendations for a healthy diet: an online, randomized, controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Increased uptake of sodium is a major cause for cardiovascular disease and mortality. Reduction of daily salt intake below a reference level of 2 g per day (the equivalent to 5 g salt/day) is known to effectively reduce cardiovascular mortality.
