Eating too much salt is harmful to health. How to reduce salt?
More and more people know that eating too much salt is harmful to health, which may induce hypertension and stroke, and also affect the loss of hip bone mineral density in menopausal women. In addition to eating less salt, it is also important to avoid "invisible salt" in food. Taiwan Province Jian Kang magazine invited nutrition experts, combined with the latest research, to find out nine new "salt storage households" and teach you how to reduce salt. 1 .white bread. Two pieces of semi-white flour contain more than 600 milligrams of sodium. If you put peanut butter on it again, it will be difficult to measure. Moreover, the more cream such as chocolate bread, pineapple bread and souffle bread, the higher the sodium content. Solution: You might as well choose miscellaneous grain bread, which contains high sodium, but also more potassium, and high-quality nutrients, such as fiber and phytochemicals. 2. breakfast cereal. Breakfast cereal and potato chips are a healthy breakfast in many people's hearts. According to the investigation, half of the breakfast cereals of 14 varieties on the market have reached the British high salt standard, and some of them are as high as 1030 mg. Solution: Look at the label when buying. Some brands have low sodium content, and the gap is more than 10 times. 3. Lemon sandwich cookies. Because additives are added in the production process, there are more than 700 mg of sodium per100g. There are more than 500 milligrams of chocolate biscuits. Solution: Fruit, boiled corn or yogurt are healthy snacks, and raisins or dried cranberries can also be considered. 4. jelly. Many snacks advertised as low-calorie actually contain about 200 mg of sodium if frozen. Solution: read the nutrition label carefully before buying. 5. Sports drinks. 1 can 600 ml sports drinks may contain 252 mg of sodium. Solution: Unless you exercise for a long time or sweat a lot, you don't need sports drinks. 6. Fruit and vegetable juice. Some fruit and vegetable juices will be salted in order to increase flavor during processing. 1 bottle may contain162mg sodium. Solution: White water is the best drink, or choose a low-sodium drink. 7. Guandong cooks soup. The sodium content in a half bowl of 300 grams of Guandong boiled soup may be as high as 6 15 mg. In fact, the soup cooked at home contains a lot of sodium. Solution: Try to make soup with fresh ingredients. Or pour 6 grams of salt into 5 times of water and dissolve it. When cooking, you can only use up the salt water to season for a whole day. When eating out, try not to drink soup, especially soup that is too salty or too sweet. 8. Staple food mixed with sauce. When eating bibimbap, noodles and other staple foods, you usually add a lot of sauce, which is easy to consume too much sodium. Solution: It is best to eat less oil and salt mixed with staple food, so as not to develop the habit of emphasizing taste. 9. cold noodles According to the investigation of the Department of Health, almost all cold noodles on the market are added with baking soda to increase their flexibility. Baking soda contains a lot of sodium, and sesame paste itself contains a lot of sodium, resulting in the sodium content of each bowl of cold noodles equivalent to half of the sodium intake of 1 day. Solution: When cooking elastic noodles, you can extend the time for sodium to dissolve out. Sesame sauce should only be cut in half.
