                                Recent studies and meta-analyses show that the average sodium intake in India significantly exceeds the World Health Organization's (WHO) recommended maximum of less than 5 grams of salt per day. This widespread overconsumption poses a serious public health challenge, directly contributing to the rising burden of non-communicable diseases like hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
