The abundance of salt in the daily diet is extremely detrimental to many systems of our body. What are the main recommendations for reducing salt intake? The salt dosage recommended for adults is less than 5 grams daily (equivalent to less than 1 teaspoon). For children aged 2-15 years experts advise adjusting salt intake by reducing the amount of salt as much as possible. During the period of breastfeeding and the introduction of complementary foods, salt should be completely excluded. If salt is still present in your diet, give preference to an iodized product. Such salt is enriched with iodine, which is extremely important for the health of the brain and psyche in general. How can you reduce your salt intake? Avoid adding salt to food while cooking, remove the salt shaker from your kitchen counter, minimize the amount of salty snacks you eat, and favor foods that are low in sodium. The issue of reducing salt intake should also be supported by the state. We are talking about the introduction of special programs and explanatory talks in schools and industries. It is also important to carry out explanatory work on the importance of reducing the amount of salt in the diet at the food industry and in healthcare institutions.
