ICMR releases new salt intake guidelines after discovering similar sodium levels in all salts
ICMR's recent findings on salt consumption have prompted a call for a re-evaluation of dietary habits among Indians. The health body's analysis revealed consistent sodium levels across various types of salt, challenging the assumption that certain varieties like rock salt are healthier alternatives.
With excess sodium intake being linked to health issues like high blood pressure, ICMR has issued revised guidelines advocating for a daily salt limit of 5 grams, emphasizing moderation across all types of salt.
