Cut down on salt: WHO recommends a maximum salt intake of less than 5g per day for adults as a preventive measure against non-communicable diseases. In Malaysia, the consumption is 7.9g per day.

ACCORDING to the World Health Organisation (WHO), non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the main cause of mortality and disability in Malaysia.

Known as “silent killers”, NCDs continue to claim lives despite being largely preventable.
