Too much salt is harmful to the body. 1. It is easy to suffer from hypertension. Salt can increase blood volume and blood pressure. Moreover, salt can directly destroy the blood vessel wall and accelerate arteriosclerosis.
2. Gastric diseases include gastric cancer. Because too high salt can promote gastric acid secretion and damage gastric mucosa. High salt is an important factor in gastric cancer. So the proportion of people who often go to restaurants for meals is also higher.
3. Increase the incidence of osteoporosis. Salt can promote calcium loss and lead to osteoporosis. So less salt is calcium. Especially for some old people, their eating habits for many years are heavy and hard to change. However, the incidence of osteoporosis is very high after old age. Salt should be controlled and salted vegetables should be avoided.
4. Skin aging. Ladies are more interested. Salt can promote dehydration of skin cells and accelerate cell aging.
5. The restaurant often uses more salt, monosodium glutamate and other seasonings for cooking, and should try to avoid eating out.
Finished salt is only one of the sources of sodium intake for Chinese people. Seasonings such as soy sauce and processed foods such as salted vegetables contain a lot of salt, but it is usually not included in the salt intake survey. How to reduce the amount of salt in life
First of all, we should consciously correct the bad habit of adding too much salt and soy sauce due to excessive taste, take total amount control on daily salt intake, use a quantitative salt spoon, or measure out the amount, and put dishes into each meal according to the amount.
For those who are used to salty food, in order to meet the needs of taste, they can put a little vinegar in cooking dishes, improve the fresh flavor of dishes, and help themselves to adapt to less salt food.
Putting salt before the cooking of dishes is conducive to reducing the salt consumption. This is because putting salt too early will make the salt quickly penetrate into the interior of dishes, and the salt content in the surface layer will be reduced. The signal to the tongue taste buds is that the dishes are too light and need to continue to put salt, so putting salt too early will increase the salt content of dishes invisibly.
In addition, 5g salt per person per day refers to the total amount of three meals. If you cook only one meal at home, you should calculate the amount of salt according to the proportion of food distribution per meal. If lunch accounts for 40% of the three meals, the amount of salt per person per meal is 5g × 40% = 2G; instead of making several meals at home, each meal is 5g salt per person. Because, a lot of eating out or ready to eat food contain salt, it should be calculated in the amount of a day.
People should also be careful of the "invisible killer" that contains salt. The salt content of cooked foods such as soy sauce meat, sausage, roast chicken and bacon is 1-2 times higher than that of common dishes. A pack of noodles with chili sauce has more than 6 grams of salt (the sodium content is 2500 mg), which is easy to exceed the standard in one day. Not only that, when eating pine eggs, salted duck eggs, and even some snacks, you need to reduce salt when eating.
When purchasing seasonings, such as monosodium glutamate, tomato sauce, garlic salt, tea sauce, oyster sauce, Douban sauce, sweet noodle sauce, Douchi, shrimp oil, etc., you must first see the label outside the tank, and pay attention to the content of sodium.
Cultivate light taste and use salt in quantity
People's taste is gradually developed.
People with heavy taste need to strengthen their health concept, change their cooking and eating habits, reduce the amount of salt in the way of measurement (quantitative salt spoon), cultivate light taste, and gradually control the amount of salt within 5g. In particular, we should focus on the cultivation of children's light diet and healthy eating habits from childhood.
The consciousness of salt control should be gradually established and persisted for a long time, so as to benefit the whole life.
