Salt is the food we eat every day, but how much do you know about this familiar food that we can't be familiar with any more? The following three points can tell you how to eat salt correctly.
How much salt do you eat every day
First: will too much salt affect health? Too much salt may cause hypertension and gastric cancer, and may aggravate osteoporosis and asthma. Therefore, appropriately reducing the consumption of salt can help to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Second: how much salt do we need in a day? Although we need salt, most people eat too much now, far more than they need every day. The maximum daily requirement of adults is 6 grams, and that of children is between 2-6 grams. Too much salt is very dangerous for children because their kidneys can't bear such a heavy burden.
Third: why do we need to take sodium from our diet? Sodium in salt is necessary to control the body's water content. It can maintain the normal blood pH value, ensure the transmission of nerve signals, and help muscles work normally.
matters needing attention
What is high salt? Please read the food label when choosing food. Experts suggest that 1.25g salt is high salt food, and 0.25g salt is more suitable. Try to use herbs instead of salt as seasoning, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits cooked in low salt. In addition, choose low sodium breakfast cereal.
