AN OPTIMAL APPROACH TOWARDS INTAKE OF SALT (LAVAN) FOR HEALTHY WELLBEING

Abstract

Including salt in our dietary habits remains crucial in contemporary food consumption. However, excessive intake of salt has evolved into a widespread issue that significantly contributes to the onset and persistence of various diseases, including cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure. To avoid medical conditions, it is essential to limit our salt intake. Eliminating salt from our diet, on the other hand, may lead to low sodium levels, which can cause diseases such as hyponatremia and sudden death. As such, established guidelines exist to determine the appropriate amount of salt intake. Therefore, adhering to classical and modern salt consumption regulations is crucial to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. AIMS AND OBJECTIVE ✓ To study the importance of salt ✓ To study low-intake and high-intake salt risk factors ✓ To understand classical and modern methods for the consumption of salt.
