Recent data from India indicates a significant increase in salt consumption compared to recommended dietary guidelines. The World Health Organization (WHO) suggests a daily intake of approximately 5g per person, while India’s population consumes an estimated double this amount. This increase is primarily attributed to a rise in processed foods and traditional cooking methods. Public health officials are monitoring the trend, particularly focusing on vulnerable populations, and exploring strategies to promote healthier dietary choices. Further research is underway to understand the long-term effects of this elevated salt intake.
