Medical experts from both home and abroad jointly discussed “National Salt Reduction and Chronic Disease Prevention and Control”. And other issues.

“I never put salt in cooking at home.” When asked how to control salt intake in daily life, Professor Graham A MacGregor, Professor of the University of London School of Medicine and President of the World Salt and Health Action Society gave this The answer.

In terms of physical needs, our body eats 1 gram of salt per person per day. Graham said that if you don't put salt in your food, you will be able to eat the original flavor of the food, but it will be even more delicious.

However, for many middle-aged and old-aged friends, it is not easy to change the eating habits that have been formed for a long time.

In response, Graham said, we can try to start with once-a-week salt reduction and gradually increase it once a day. Slowly, you will find that your taste will fade after 6 weeks.

And late salt can also reduce the loss of vitamin C, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

In addition to the cooking salt used in our cooking, ordinary people must be alert to the "invisible salt" in food. Including various seasonings such as soy sauce, vinegar, monosodium glutamate, etc.; various processed foods such as biscuits, potato chips, plum, ham, bread, oil cakes, canned foods; and many vegetables such as seaweed, seaweed, etc., as well as a lot of sweetness Foods such as vegetable juices, tea drinks, cereals, etc., also contain some salts that we cannot see, which we call “invisible salt”. Consumers are advised to look at the ingredient list on the food package when purchasing food.
