A study of over 500,000 UK residents revealed that individuals who avoid salt have 18% lower risk of atrial fibrillation, a major heart disease risk factor.
Those who sometimes add salt are 15% less likely.
Even those who switch from always adding salt to usually adding it could see a big difference in their risk.
Prof. James Leiper stressed the need to follow the government's 6g salt limit per day to prevent health issues.
The data was collected using the UK Biobank, and the research was presented at the European Society of Cardiology conference.
