- Experts recommend potassium-enriched low-sodium salt substitutes (LSSS) to combat hypertension and cardiovascular disease in India.
- Indians consume 8 to 11 grams of salt daily, nearly double the WHO's recommended limit.
- Adopting LSSS could prevent 8-14% of cardiovascular deaths annually in India.
- The consensus calls for policy integration, public awareness campaigns, and further research to promote LSSS use.
- The recommendation was announced on December 2, 2025, during a conference and webinar.
Policy integration and public awareness campaigns for salt substitutes are expected to create positive momentum in preventive healthcare. However, the speed of policy implementation may be slower than anticipated.
