The 600 million families in Shanghai will gradually receive free small salt spoons limited to 2 grams, which is the government department’s hope that Shanghai citizens can control salt intake in accordance with the World Health Organization’s recommended standard of 6 grams of salt per person per day, thereby reducing the incidence of hypertension, coronary heart disease and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, according to reports, the use of the salt-limiting spoon is not ideal, and many people put it aside and abandon it. There are many reasons for not using the salt-limiting spoon: some people think that “two out of three meals a day, they do not know how much salt to add when they cook their own food”, others think that “it is difficult to control the amount of use, and not just a dish, and not necessarily a meal to so do all the dishes eaten “Some people think “one spoonful is the amount for one day. Every time I dare not put salt”, the result is “the dish is too light to eat”. To solve these problems, it is indeed a bit difficult. The best way is, of course, to ask a dietitian or community doctor to help you develop a plan for using salt spoons in your home, based on the number of people eating in your home, the number of meals, and your cooking habits. If this is not possible, there is an easy way to cook a dish with one spoonful of salt. This requires the “cooker” and the “eater” to control salt intake from their respective perspectives. The person who cooks the rice should know that on average each dish should use a maximum of one spoonful of salt, and if more salt is added to one dish, less must be added to the other. People who eat rice should also know that each person should eat a maximum of 2 grams of salt per meal. First control the average of 2 grams of salt per dish, then if there are 2 dishes, own each dish at most 1/2, if there are 3 dishes, each dish at most 1/3, if there are more dishes, also in this way. This can be used regardless of how many dishes are made and whether they are eaten or not. People who only eat dinner at home every day should know that they can only eat 2 grams of salt for dinner as well. We can start by minimizing our salt intake within our control and developing our light taste, rather than giving up salt control because we eat out more. Even if the salt spoon is only used once a day for dinner it makes sense, it’s reminding us of the importance of controlling salt intake! There are several other considerations for using the salt spoon in this way: a spoon means a flat scoop, to remove the part that is higher than the salt spoon; soy sauce and MSG and other seasonings also contain salt and should be used sparingly; when cooking you can add salt when you start the pot and turn off the fire, slightly stirring the salt can be completely dissolved, so that the salt stays on the surface of the food, the same amount of salt has a better taste; the soup in the leftover dish should never be consumed, because the salt in it is also Every family should record the date when a bag of salt was started and the date when it was finished, so that we can calculate how much salt each person eats at home every day on average. Generally speaking, a family of three should limit the amount of salt used to one bag (500 grams) per month. You can also find your own salt limit jar and combine it with a salt limit spoon to fill it with the amount of salt used for three meals a day, so that no matter how many meals you cook a day and how many dishes you make for each meal, you can have a good grasp of the total amount of salt used by the whole family a day and will not exceed the limit.
