Advocate salt reduction movement

As early as 1985, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare formulated the Guide to Healthy Eating and Living, which advocated that people should try to eat as many as 30 kinds of ingredients (including edible oil and condiments) every day to achieve comprehensive nutrition. Since then, many people have used it as a guide to their daily diet. For example, five-color sushi rice will take rice as the main ingredient, and add sweet shrimp, shellfish, squid meat, fish seeds, tuna, sugar ginger slices and so on. When cooking, make a dish with a variety of ingredients; There are bean products, seafood and vegetables in miso soup. Even if you eat out, the restaurant will provide as many combinations as possible. In order to prevent the calories from exceeding the standard, the amount of each dish is very small. Dietary diversification, especially the intake of fruits and vegetables, is conducive to adequate nutrition, which plays a role in protecting cardiovascular health and prolonging life. Japanese people eat more than 200 kilograms of fish per capita every year, and their consumption is among the best in the world. And there are many exquisite ways to eat, such as eating deep-sea fish such as salmon and eel; I like to dip sashimi directly in mustard and soy sauce; Roast the whole fish with an open flame. Just add some salt and lemon juice to the grilled fish. Once the triglyceride in the human body exceeds the standard, it means that the blood vessels and heart will bear more pressure. Deep-sea fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can help lower blood pressure and reduce the content of triglycerides in the body. Japanese people like to mix lettuce, carrots and cucumbers with sauce and eat them raw. Secondly, a little oil is sprinkled on many dishes after cooking, which not only reduces the damage of high-temperature hot oil to nutrients, but also reduces the intake of oil, which is beneficial to cardiovascular health. As early as 1975, the Japanese government began to pay attention to the national salt reduction problem and launched a series of salt reduction campaigns. And at the urging of the World Health Organization, the Japanese now pay great attention to controlling salt from all aspects of their diet. For example, don't drink too much miso soup, and don't drink soup when eating Lamian Noodles; Adding salt at the end of cooking can minimize salt intake.
