Kuwaitis lower blood pressure by reducing salt in bread
The Kuwait authorities, working with the country’s main bakery, have taken bold action to reduce salt content in the most popular type of bread. “This is a great example of commitment and collaboration between related sectors and an even greater example of partnership,” says Dr. Nawal Al-hamad, chair of Kuwait’s Salt and Fat Intake Reduction Task Force (SIRTF), and Director of the Food and Nutrition Administration at the country’s Ministry of Health.
