Most of the recipes that I post on the blog contains information about the number of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and other cellular components. Apart from the basic triple, and I expect the content of sodium salts. Many readers do not understand why we need this data. Today I work through this issue.
Sodium chloride, sodium or salt, in conversation, we often speak simply salt, is a crystalline compound, without which the taste of a favorite dish was definitely not perfect.
People on average consume between 6 and 18 grams of salt (1-3 teaspoons) per day. However, people suffering from diabetes, it is recommended to limit the daily amount of salt.
As I wrote recently, sodium chloride retains water in the body, and therefore contributes to obesity. In addition to obesity, uncontrolled amount of salt consumed in the diet can lead to serious complications such as hypertension and stroke.
Units:
1000 mg = 1 gram of salt
1 teaspoon = 5.5 grams of salt
In diabetes, doctors recommend limiting salt intake to 2400 mg. I.e translating into plain language, the maximum daily intake of salt - a little less than half a teaspoon.
Do not forget that salt is not only a salt shaker in the kitchen, she is also an integral component of virtually all food products. Explore the label of the goods purchased. In addition to the usual proteins, fats and carbohydrates, pay attention to the contents of sodium (symbol Na, or sodium).
Foods high in sodium chloride:
1. Meat. Bacon, ham, corned beef, smoked sausage, canned meat.
2. Fish. Canned tuna, salmon, sardines, canned seafood, salted and dried fish.
3. Canned. Vegetables, tomato juice, soups.
4. Intermediates. Porridge with meat, macaroni and cheese, fast food.
5. Snacks (snacks). Crackers, crisps, crunches, crunches, donuts, pastries, etc.
6. Other products. Olives, pickles, salad dressings and sauces, and cheeses.
There are so-called salt substitutes. For example, in virtually any pharmacy selling "prevention" or "universal" salt. It differs from a cookbook that contains 30% less sodium. It is rich in potassium and magnesium salts, whose properties are totally opposed to sodium.
