Gunma Prefecture is focusing on the "Gunma Salt Reduction Action," an awareness-raising initiative to promote salt reduction with the aim of extending the healthy lifespan of its residents.
This initiative involves collaborating with food-related businesses within the prefecture to reduce salt content in products and expand the availability of low-salt products. A 2022 survey conducted by the prefecture found that the average daily salt intake for adults was 10.5 grams, far exceeding the target of less than 7 grams. Excessive salt intake can lead to cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure and heart and cerebrovascular diseases, so the prefecture is calling for people to reduce their salt intake.
