What is the ideal of salt consumption?
Ideal portion of salt consumption is safe for health, not more than 6 grams per day. However, the majority of people are estimated to consume more than 8 grams a day. In some developed countries, one of the two patients who died from disorders or heart attack, salt consumed an average of 8-12 grams daily.
When salt intake is reduced every day, this will cut the risk of stroke by 22 percent and heart attacks to 16 percent.
