There is a lot of hidden salt in them, which is becoming a silent killer for our health.
What is Silent Salt Epidemic?
Scientific institutions like ICMR and NIE have warned that the habit of eating salt to people in India has now become a silent salt epidemic. This means that people are eating so much salt without understanding that it is gradually causing serious and life-threatening diseases like high blood pressure, heart diseases and brain stroke.
In a study, it was found that most of the people of India are eating excessive salt daily. WHO says that a person should eat less than 5 grams of salt a day. But in most areas, people are eating about 9.2 grams of salt daily. At the same time, on an average, 5.6 grams of salt is being eaten daily in many villages. According to the study, it is not considered right for your health and it becomes the cause of a serious disease.
