Dr Simran Deo at UK-based online doctor Zava, said: “As a doctor  I would strongly recommend that people do not participate in this activity. Eating too much salt is very bad for your health both immediately and in the long run”.

Health experts recommends limiting your salt intake to around one teaspoon a day
