Cutting Salt

Aim for under 5 g of salt (one teaspoon) a day, including salt already in food.

Limit pickles (achar), papad, chips, namkeen and instant noodles.
Cook with lemon, herbs, garlic and spices instead of extra salt.
Processed meats (sausage, longganisa, tocino) are very salty.
Taste before adding salt at the table.
