FSSAI said easy way to reduce salt intake, know how much salt does harm
Excess of salt can be harmful to your health. Because of this there is a risk of increase in blood pressure and kidney related diseases. Therefore, people struggling with hypertension should use salt carefully. In addition, research has shown that high intake of salt can also weaken the immune system, making it difficult for the body to fight against bacterial infections. If your habit is to add extra salt to the food, then avoid it. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has suggested four ways to reduce salt intake.
Tip 1
Instead of adding salt, you can substitute alternative spices like lemon powder, mango powder (dried mango powder), celery, black pepper powder and oregano.
