Comparison of mean and standard deviation of sodium and salt between intervention and comparison group before and after the intervention.

Variables	Group	Before the intervention Mean ± S.D	After the intervention Mean ± S.D	Changes Mean ± S.D	*P-value
Sodium	Intervention	155.05 ± 58.21	115.69 ± 48.11	39.36 ± 37.96	0.0001
	Comparison	162.28 ± 50.25	166.02 ± 51.15	3.74 ± 23.19	0.14
	**Sig.	P-value = 0.39	P-value = 0.0001	P-value < 0.0001
Sodium chloride	Intervention	14.34 ± 3.65	11.33 ± 2.11	3.01 ± 2.38	0.0001
