People should also be wary of the "hidden killers" that contain salt. Processed meats like cured meat, sausages, roast chicken, and bacon have 1-2 times the salt content of regular dishes. A single pack of spicy instant noodles contains over 6 grams of salt (with a labeled sodium content of 2500 mg), making it easy to exceed the daily salt limit. Moreover, when eating foods like century eggs, salted duck eggs, and even some pastries, one should reduce salt intake during the meal.
When purchasing seasonings such as MSG, ketchup, garlic salt, satay sauce, oyster sauce, broad bean paste, sweet bean paste, fermented black beans, and shrimp oil, be sure to check the labels on the packaging and pay attention to the sodium content.
Restaurants often use large amounts of salt, MSG, and other seasonings in their cooking, so one should try to avoid eating out.
Chris also suggests that it's best to rinse frozen shrimp with water before eating, which can also reduce the salt content.
Finally, parents should pay special attention to limiting their children's salt intake to prevent their taste buds from becoming accustomed to a high-salt diet, which could lead to a continued preference for salty foods in adulthood.
