According to a study by the George Institute for Global Health India, a public health NGO, 73 per cent of the 7,124 food products they sampled were found to have not displayed their salt or sodium content in their labels.

.

Although display of salt content is not mandatory under India's food packaging rules, experts nevertheless feel that this information can help consumers keep a tab on their salt consumption through this medium.

.

"Excess salt intake can lead to high blood pressure, coupled with lack of exercise, obesity, stress and tension," S. Chatterjee, senior consultant, Internal Medicine at the Apollo Hospital here, told IANS.

.

Although someone not pre-disposed to hypertension - meaning no family history of this - is relatively safer, it is nevertheless becoming a "growing problem" in India because more and more people are falling victim to it thanks to changing lifestyles.

.

"Packaged food, processed food and ready-to-eat meals all have high salt content. They are also high in cholesterol and oil, and regular consumption leads to weight gain and obesity, and in turn, hypertension," Chatterjee said. Hypertension is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, kidney ailments and strokes.

.

Because of changes in lifestyle - late working hours, high stress levels, lack of exercise, and increase in consumption of junk or processed food - the age-profile of people affected by hypertension has also fallen.
