Health authorities are warning of dangerous levels of salt consumption in Turkey. While the World Health Organization recommends 5 grams daily, the average Turkish individual consumes 15 grams.
According to cardiology professor Murad Sunbul, this excessive consumption poses a real health risk that extends beyond high blood pressure alone. Experts are calling for a national awareness campaign to reduce salt consumption and protect the population from heart disease and health complications.
Turks consume 15 grams of salt daily, three times the safe limit recommended by the World Health Organization (5 grams). Experts warn that this excessive consumption increases the risk of heart disease and serious health complications.
If you consume processed and salted foods on a daily basis, you are exposed to real health risks due to excess salt in your diet. This may affect your financial health through future treatment costs and reduced work productivity due to health complications.
