Our lifestyle and dietary intake is changing. Many processed and ultra-processed foods have salt, sugars, and fats in excess quantities which are a risk factor for noncommunicable diseases. #Pakistan needs to formulate policies for warning labels. #FoodGovernance #FoodEnvironment

Islamabad Food Authority is the first food authority in #Pakistan which has initiated awareness raising work on #saltreduction along with other dietary risk factors emanating from over-consumption of the nutrients of public health concern i.e., salt, sugar, & fats. #PreventNCDs

Sugary sweetened beverages (SSBs) are associated with increase in obesity, & diabetes. With 36 million adults having diabetes, childhood obesity is rapidly increasing in the country, too. It is time to make FOPWL related policies to improve #foodgovernance & #preventNCDs.

#Pakistan needs to update its policies, & adopt #WHO recommended policies for effective food governance. Noncommunicable disease can be prevented by modifiying dietary intake, and changing life styles. #PreventNCDs #FoodGovernance

A good way of #saltreduction is to use low sodium salt substitutes (LSSS) and use more of fresh fruits and vegetables avoiding ultra-processed foods. Ultra-processed foods have high quantities of "hidden" salt. #PreventNCDs #FoodGovernance

IRI encourages #USA to reverse the decision to withdraw from WHO. The withdrawal is indeed not a good news for anyone around the world including USA. We believe that it will adversely affect the global health agenda leaving people health insecure with unimaginable consequences.

Excessive intake of salt is associated with increased stress on cardio-vascular system & eventually causes heart attack, hypertension, & stroke. It is better to reduce salt intake by removing it from the table. @PakSarfrazbugti #PreventNCDs #FoodGovernance #SaltReduction
