REDUCE YOUR SALT AND SUGAR INTAKE

Reduce your daily salt intake to the suggested level of less than 5 g. Most individuals eat too much salt, which is high in sodium. Consuming too much salt raises blood pressure, which raises the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Limit your daily salt consumption to 5g, or roughly 1 teaspoon. To make this easier, choose low-sodium foods and limit your use of salt, soya sauce, fish sauce, and other high-sodium condiments when preparing meals. You should also remove salt from your meal table and avoid salty snacks.

On the other side reduces the sugar over the course of your life. All added sugars, such as glucose, galactose, fructose, sucrose, or table sugar, as well as sugars found naturally in honey, syrups, fruit juices, and fruit juice concentrates are referred to as free sugars.

Consuming too much sugar raises your risk of developing tooth decay and gaining unhealthful weight. Less than 10% of total calorie consumption, in both adults and children, should come from free sugars. For an adult, this is equal to 12 teaspoons or 50g. Less than 5% of total energy intake is what the WHO advises for additional health advantages. By consuming fewer sugary snacks, candies, and beverages with added sugar, you can lower your daily sugar intake.
