Are 'healthy' snacks secretly raising your sodium intake?
Nutrition specialist Dr Karthigai Selvi warns that many healthy snacks Indians consume - like baked namkeen, protein bars, roasted nuts, and instant cereals - contain high sodium levels. This hidden salt can raise blood pressure, cause bloating and fatigue, and strain the heart and kidneys. Mindful swaps - plain nuts, fresh foods, and reading labels - can effectively protect metabolic health.
