Salt at fault

Sodium commonly found in salt is usually consumed in excess in our food savouries. A lot of sodium is found in packaged foods in the form of additives preservatives too.

High sodium intake can be reduced by avoiding foods like

    Pickles and papads
    Sauces, ketchup spreads
    Salted butter and popcorn

    Namkeens and chips
    Salted canned fish and other foods

The increasing use of raw amla and lemon juice in food along with good intake of water is beneficial for people with high blood pressure.
