Every year in the second week of March, the World Salt Awareness Week is celebrated (from March 10 to March 17). The aim of this event, initiated by the World Salt and Health Movement in 2008, is to engage the public in reducing salt consumption in the diet to improve health.
The event also serves as an appeal to food manufacturers and government authorities to provide consumers with the right to choose products with reduced salt content.
The daily salt intake should not exceed 5 grams (1 teaspoon). Salt in small amounts is a necessary substance for the body, but excessive consumption can lead to health problems.
