alert!"Invisible salt" is everywhere

Not long ago, the "Dietary Guide to Chinese Residents (2022)" increased the "salt limitation" standard. It is recommended that Chinese residents over 11 years of age consume a salt of no more than 5 grams per day. 6 grams of 6 grams than the old version of the guideline, 1 gram less. How should salt be eaten and how much?

How much salt does the human body need?

Nutrition experts introduced that it is enough to maintain the most basic needs of the human body. It is enough to consume 3.8 grams of salt per day.

Sodium salt can increase the content of water in the blood, lead to increased total blood, and can also activate hormones such as vascular tension and promote blood pressure. Therefore, it is the most urgent measure to restrict the amount of hypertension of the overall population. If you reduce 2.5 grams of salt, the risk of hypertension can be reduced by 3%.

The survey shows that the salt amount in the northern region of my country is 16-18 grams per person per day, and the salt amount in Shanghai is 10-12 grams per person per day. Corresponding to it, the incidence of hypertension in my country also follows. The amount of salt has shown the trend of "north high south low".

Be careful of "invisible salt" in life

Some people think that as long as they are not salty, the intake of salt is not excessive. But this is not the case. In daily diet, few people will go to see the sodium content in the product. It does not mean that the salt content of the food does not mean that the salt content of the food is low.

The salty taste is often hidden in other flavors. The salt added in the food is also called "invisible salt", which is invincible.

It is unreliable to judge the height of salt by taste alone. Some desserts, such as cheese, ice cream, bread, etc. Although the taste is sweet, it seems to be not stained with the salty taste, but these desserts have been added during the production process. Salt, and sweetness is easy to cover the salty taste.

If you pay a little attention to the ingredients table on the ingredients of sweet food (such as biscuits, cakes, jelly, chocolate, milk -flavored beverages, coffee, potato chips, etc.), you will find that many of them contain "invisible salt", and the content does The calculation is low.

Experts remind that high -salt food in daily life is mainly concentrated in the following 10 categories:

10 types of high -salt food

Sauce

Salted fish and shrimp and other seafood

Pickles sauce

Machining soy products

Salted egg

Potato chip biscuits

Noodle product category

Cans

seasoning

For example: 100 grams of ham sausage contains about 2.5 grams of salt. If you consume 250 grams of ham sausage per day, you can achieve a day's salt recommended intake.

Therefore, the salt control not only requires light diet, but also learn to see the nutrition label of packaging food, pay special attention to the content of sodium.
