The World Health Organization suggests that the daily sugar intake of adults and children should be controlled below 25 grams (6 teaspoons), the daily salt intake of healthy adults should not exceed 6 grams, and the edible oil intake should not exceed 25-30 grams.
In addition to three meals, we should pay attention to control, but also be careful of invisible sugar and salt in snacks. Drinking a can of 600 ml coke has already consumed about 63.6 grams of sugar, which is more than twice the recommended amount. A bottle of ordinary 500 ml iced black tea also contains 46g of sugar. If you eat a can of fermented soybean shad, your salt intake has reached 8.2 grams. A bowl of instant noodles consumes 6.7 grams of salt.
Extended data:
In the last century, a survey of 574 counties in 8 provinces in China found that the mortality rate of gastric cancer was positively correlated with the per capita salt consumption. In the past, the incidence of gastric cancer in Hokkaido, Japan was very high, which was related to their eating more salted fish and salt.
Since the 1960s, the dietary structure in this area has changed. With the westernization of eating habits, the reduction of salt and the increase of dairy products such as milk, the mortality rate of gastric cancer, the incidence of hypertension and the mortality rate of stroke in this area have all decreased simultaneously. Indigenous people in Africa do not use salt to preserve food and eat less salt in their diet, so the incidence of gastric cancer is also very small.
According to an article published in the British magazine The Lancet, if patients with chronic diseases reduce their salt intake by 15%, the number of people who died of heart disease, stroke and diabetes in the world will decrease by140,000 within 10, and at the same time, the medical expenditure can be reduced by tens of billions of dollars, and the loss of global productivity can also be greatly reduced.
Salt control is one of the important measures for comprehensive prevention and intervention of chronic diseases such as hypertension, which embodies a healthy lifestyle. It is necessary to establish a sense of salt restriction, pay attention to a light diet, really control salt with a small spoon, limit salt to make every dish well, and try not to let the daily salt intake exceed the new standard.
People's Network-Daily salt intake does not exceed 6 grams
