As is well known, reducing the intake of high-salt or high-sodium foods is of great significance to health. Now, there are already many low-salt or low-sodium foods on the market, unfortunately, they are not well recognized by the public.
Salt. Low-sodium salt is salt that replaces part of the sodium chloride with potassium chloride and magnesium chloride. Its saltiness is comparable to that of regular salt, but the sodium content is reduced by 1/4 to 1/3. Except for a small number of patients with chronic renal insufficiency, this low-sodium salt can be used as a substitute for regular salt.
Dried small shrimp. Dried small shrimp is rich in calcium and has always been regarded as a calcium-supplementing food. However, for preservation, a large amount of salt is added during the processing of ordinary dried small shrimp, making them quite salty, which severely limits the amount that can be consumed. Now, low-salt dried small shrimp is available on the market, and it is recommended for people who want to supplement calcium through dried small shrimp.
Soy sauce. The salt content of ordinary soy sauce is generally 17% to 20%, which is equivalent to 1 gram of salt in every 5 ml of soy sauce. The salt content in low-salt soy sauce is reduced, and the extent of the reduction varies by brand. Some low-salt soy sauces have a 50% reduction in salt content, while others have a 20% reduction. The other flavor components in low-salt soy sauce remain basically unchanged.
