Choose low sodium salt. The main component of common salt is sodium chloride, which contains about 70% sodium chloride and 30% potassium chloride. If you choose to consume the same weight of low sodium salt, you will virtually reduce your sodium ion intake by about 30%. The most important thing is that the salty taste of low-sodium salt is not much different from that of ordinary refined salt, and the effect of reducing sodium and supplementing potassium can be achieved without reducing salt. Choose to put salt before cooking, because salt is on the surface of food and will not penetrate into the food. When eating, the tongue will also feel salty, which reduces the lightness and thus reduces the salt intake.
