Numerous studies have shown that eating too much salt has a direct or indirect effect on hypertension, cardiovascular disease and kidney damage. Every March, through World Salt Reduction Week, salt and health campaigns are widely promoted around the world to raise public awareness of the health risks of a high-salt diet and to encourage everyone to make healthier choices in their daily lives. What is a low-salt diet? Salt is composed of chlorine and sodium and is the main flavoring for food cooking or processed foods. The dietary habits of our residents are too high in salt intake, and excessive salt intake has been linked to high blood pressure, stomach cancer and strokes. Therefore, it is important to reduce salt intake, cultivate a lighter taste and gradually achieve a quantitative salt intake, with a recommended salt intake of no more than 6 grams per day for healthy adults. The Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents also specifically reminds that these 6 grams of salt include salt from soy sauce and pickled products, so it is actually more appropriate to consume 4 grams of salt per day. For patients with kidney disease, too much salt will not only raise blood pressure, but also lead to water and sodium retention in the body, increasing the burden on the kidneys and thus aggravating the condition of kidney disease. The Dietary Guidelines for Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease recommends that sodium intake for patients with all stages of CKD should be less than 2000 mg/day. Just 5 grams of table salt contains 2000 mg of sodium, so patients with CKD need to adopt a strict low-salt diet, with a daily salt intake of no more than 3 grams. Also, eat less processed foods, choose more natural foods, and read the back food labels before buying prepackaged foods. How to achieve a low-salt diet? 1.

Vegetables can also be quickly stir-fried with oil, after a charred aroma and then mix, or cooked through boiling and other ways, even if the seasoning salt is less, you can also enjoy the taste. 4, eat less snacks, processed foods.
