This initiative aims to raise awareness about the dangers of excessive salt and sugar consumption which with other factors like sedentary lifestyle and obesity can be a major risk factor for hypertension.
Hypertension in India
Studies have shown that 1 in 4 adults in India suffer from hypertension and 101 million people in India which is about 11.4% of the country's population, are living with diabetes.
Diabetes and hypertension are often referred together as ""partners in crime"" due to their closely linked impact on global health.
It is common knowledge that these conditions not only coexist but exacerbate each other, creating a compounded risk of severe health issues such as cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and kidney failure.
The 'Limit White India' campaign focuses on educating Indians to limit their intake of 'whites' like salt and sugar.
The campaign emphasises the need for gradual lifestyle changes to improve cardiovascular health.
With the goal of driving a three-year awareness programme, Mankind Pharma aims to partner with healthcare professionals (HCPs) in the management of hypertension and diabetics across the country.
