Some pointers on salt intake

WHO recommends limiting sodium to less than 2,000 mg/day.

American Heart Association recommends 1,500 mg/day. (One teaspoon of salt has 2,325 mg of sodium.)

Hence, keep intake of processed and tinned items to a minimum.

Avoid pickles.

Eat wholesome items like fruits, vegetables, lean meats and beans to satisfy your craving for salt.

Minimize the use of added salt in curd and salad. Remove the salt shaker from your dining table.
