Reduce salt and add points to health.

Last semester, the head teacher, Mr. Qiu, gave us a lesson of "reducing salt and adding points to health". In class, Mr. Qiu sent us a "Family Salt Reduction Manual" and watched the propaganda film on salt reduction. One of the advertisements about salt reduction still fresh in my memory. On the big screen is a little girl about eight or nine years old, with two ponytails and her index finger beating? Shh? Gestures, calling? Eat less salt? .

Why do you want to reduce salt? Through the study of this class, I realize that eating too much salt is harmful to our health. Excessive salt can cause hypertension, and then lead to many diseases, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cerebral infarction, Alzheimer's disease and so on. So what diseases do children with high salt diet easily get? 1. Cardiovascular diseases

Children eat too much salt, and sodium that cannot be excreted by themselves will remain in body fluids, which will increase blood volume and lead to an increase in blood pressure, which will easily lead to hypertension and even stroke; Too salty food will also increase the burden on the heart and cause edema and congestive heart failure; Excessive salt intake can also lead to potassium excretion from urine. Excessive potassium loss will do harm to heart function, and in severe cases, it will cause heart failure and death. 2. Upper respiratory tract infection

High salt diet can inhibit the proliferation of mucosal epithelial cells and make them lose their disease resistance; It can also reduce oral saliva secretion and lysozyme correspondingly, which is beneficial to the reproduction of various bacteria and viruses in respiratory tract; At the same time, due to the osmotic effect of salt, it can kill the normal parasitic flora of the upper respiratory tract, leading to flora imbalance and disease. All these factors will

The function of upper respiratory tract mucosa to resist disease invasion is weakened, and the immune ability of children is lower than that of adults. If they eat more salt, they are more likely to suffer from respiratory diseases. 3. Zinc deficiency

High-salt diet will affect children's absorption of zinc, lead to children's zinc deficiency, affect children's intellectual development, and also cause children's immunity to decline, thus causing various diseases.

During the winter vacation, Mr. Qiu assigned us another task, which is to publicize and explain the knowledge of salt reduction to family, relatives, friends and neighbors during the winter vacation; Establish a small file of family salt reduction to record the family dining situation and the use of salt and condiments. For our health, my parents and I made a plan to reduce salt. Specific measures are:

1. Step by step, take your time. I specially prepared a 2 gram measuring spoon. And tell the family members who cook every day to roughly calculate how much salt should be put in each dish according to the daily food intake and the total amount of salty food.

2. Reduce eating out and try to cook by yourself. As we all know, the dishes in restaurants are oily and heavy, even if they are not very salty, they are heavier than their own dishes.

3. Eat less convenient food, such as instant noodles. I read a book recently that a bucket of instant noodles contains salt 1 1.5g! Generally, the content of sodium will be written in food ingredients. The specific conversion is: salt = gram sodium? 2.5。 The salt content of each pizza is as high as 2? 3.8 grams. The World Health Organization recommends that the salt intake per person per day should not exceed 6 grams.

Don't add soy sauce when stewing, add it according to your personal preference after cooking. Cooking without ordinary soy sauce (salt content 16%? 18%) and switch to low-salt soy sauce (salt content 12%).

5. Use less soy sauce when cooking, and use more vinegar and flavoring wine.

6. Eat more oranges and bean sprouts to eliminate sodium in salt.

7. Use less salt when cooking, and use more seasonings such as onion, ginger, garlic, pepper and coriander. 8. When making salad, use lemon juice instead of salad dressing. 9. I got used to the light taste over time.

Not without salt, not with more. In fact, the human body's demand for salt is not large, that is, about 3 grams, not more than 5 grams at most. ? Let's work together to reduce the intake of salt in the diet and reduce the incidence of hypertension.

Eating less salt equals supplementing calcium. A few days ago, British scientists also found that the more salt intake, the more calcium excreted in urine, and the worse calcium absorption. In other words, eating less salt equals supplementing calcium. They pointed out that eating less salt is the most economical and practical way to supplement calcium, and it is also the most beneficial way to health.

Let's act together to reduce salt and add points to health!
