Even though children require far less salt than adults, their intake may exceed recommended limits due to excess added during cooking or at the table, high levels in processed and packaged foods, and hidden sources in everyday diets. Since preference for salty flavours is acquired, the early years offer a powerful window to build healthier, lifelong eating habits. By equipping families, teachers, and caregivers with the right guidance, we can create food environments that truly support children’s growth and long-term health. #LetsFixOurFood #SaltAwareness #HealthyKids #NCDPrevention #NutritionMatters @thePHFI @DrMonikaArora @BKulkarni_nin @ICMRNIN @mishrapreetu @UNICEFIndia @NITIAayog @ZoyaAliRizvi @MoHFW_INDIA @MinistryWCD @PoshanAbhiyaan @mygovindia @WHOSEARO @WHOWPRO @FAOIndia @UNFPAIndia @UNinIndia @ICMRDELHI @NHM_Delhi @WFP @Hriday_Org @YuWaahIndia @PMenonIFPRI @IFPRI @ResolveTSL @moayush @fssaiindia @YASMinistry @EduMinOfIndia @cbseindia29 @MIB_India @ncert
