The content of this issue is: Why should fitness meals be low in salt?
?
In fact, not only people who exercise need low salt, but also people who don't exercise should have low salt. Why is this?
First of all, eating too much salt is not only edema, but also has a very bad effect on the skin.
Edema is easy to understand. If people eat too much salt, there will be more sodium in their blood. Because of the balance mechanism in the human body, we will feel thirsty and think about drinking more water. In order to retain more water, the body can easily promote edema. In addition, Huangdi Neijing says "salty enters the kidney". Eating salty food properly can protect the kidneys. However, a large amount of salt will increase the burden on the kidneys, affect the elimination of toxins, lead to edema on the face and make the face bigger!
Although salt is a necessity in our daily life. But you should know that long-term high-salt life will not only "disfigure", but also lead to bigger problems.
In addition, a high-salt diet may not only lead to renal failure, but also lead to gastric cancer.
High salt can directly damage human gastric mucosa, causing congestion, edema, erosion and other diseases, and help Helicobacter pylori, the "culprit" of gastritis, find the "soil" for reproduction. More than half of the new cases of gastric cancer in the world come from East Asia every year. Chen Baota made a particularly shocking summary: "Patients with gastric cancer are everywhere, especially in East Asia; People who died of stomach cancer are everywhere, but there are many in China. " High salt diet leads to high incidence of gastric cancer in China. At present, the problem faced by most people in China is not to eat enough salt, but how to prevent them from eating too much salt.
What can be done to avoid taking too much salt?
The World Health Organization recommends taking 6 grams of salt every day, which is about the same as the amount of a beer bottle cap. About 8 1.6% residents in China have exceeded the salt intake standard. Especially for young people in China, the daily salt intake will definitely exceed this amount, because our lifestyle determines that we must be high in salt; Because we like takeout and snacks, both of them are the hardest hit areas of salt.
I have shared it before, how to order takeout, and interested friends can go forward and see how to avoid eating too much salt. Moreover, give up snacks, especially spicy strips.
In fact, in addition to the visible salt such as take-away and snacks, there is also an invisible salt that needs attention. Monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, soy sauce, oil consumption, tomato sauce, salad dressing, Chili sauce, fermented bean curd and other seasonings, all of which are invisible salts, have been added with a lot of salt. The dried noodles we often eat are actually the hiding place of "invisible salt": in order to make noodles richer in gluten, producers often add salt when processing noodles. Therefore, when using seasonings, we also need to pay attention to the dosage.
Besides, cooking by yourself is better than eating out. How to avoid eating too much salt when cooking by yourself?
1, when cooking, it is best to put salt when the dish is about to go out of the pot, because the salt has not completely melted at this time, which can highlight the salty taste to the maximum extent. You will find that in this way, you can put a little salt to satisfy your "heavy taste".
2. Reduce the dosage of sodium-containing condiments such as monosodium glutamate and soy sauce;
3. Try to buy natural foods and buy less processed and packaged foods;
4. Increase the weight of vegetables and fruits in the diet;
5. People with good renal function can use low sodium salt containing potassium. The salty taste of low sodium salt is similar to that of sodium salt, but because potassium in low sodium salt can excrete sodium, it can help the body reduce the absorption of sodium.
Maybe at first, you will not be used to the faint taste. But stick to it, and you will find that your three meals a day can still be delicious even without too much heavy seasoning. Because the food itself has a natural taste, just wait for the tip of the tongue to develop slowly. "Low-salt life" means not only choosing a healthy diet, but also choosing a positive attitude towards life: self-discipline, lightness and health. He who can control his tongue can control his life. This is the greatest significance of "low-salt life"
