The World Health Organization (WHO) has released a global report on sodium intake reduction. The report finds that the average sodium intake for adults is high in most countries, with high intake linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The report recommends a reduction in sodium intake to less than 2 grams per day, and suggests strategies for achieving this goal, including reducing the amount of sodium in processed foods, using herbs and spices instead of salt, and reducing the amount of added salt in cooking and at the table. The report also highlights the importance of monitoring sodium intake and providing education and awareness about the risks of high sodium intake.
