Today’s “Word of the Day” is “innocuous“ and it is a noun meaning “harmless, unharmful, non-dangerous, non-poisonous, undamaging, safe; unobjectionable, inoffensive”.
Example Sentence: The seemingly innocuous act of consuming salt can have dangerous repercussions (consequences) when taken in excess. Excessive sodium intake contributes to the rise of hypertension, heart disease, and stroke. The dangers often lurk (hide) undetected, warranting urgent attention and a revaluation of our dietary choices. An average Indian’s sodium consumption is more than double the physiological need and dramatically exceeds the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommended daily intake of <5 g of salt for adults.
