Excessive salt intake can easily lead to high blood pressure, hardening of blood vessels, and increase the burden on the kidneys. Generally, the daily salt intake should be less than 5 grams.
Sugar is a basic substance essential for the human body, but excessive intake can easily lead to high blood pressure, obesity, liver damage, etc. When cooking, you can use methods like drizzling sauce, thickening the gravy, or dipping boiled food in sauce to lightly coat the surface of the food with sweet and salty flavors. This way, you can satisfy your palate without excessive intake of sugar and salt.
Although fat plays an important role in our bodies, if left uncontrolled, the body's fat supply is generally more than sufficient. Therefore, we should focus more on "reducing the source" to ensure that fat intake is moderate, scientific, and healthy. The Chinese Nutrition Society recommends that the dietary fat supply should not exceed 30% of the total energy, with the ratio of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids being 1:1:1. Linoleic acid providing 1% to 2% of the total energy can meet the human body's needs for essential fatty acids. The main sources of fat are cooking oils and the fats contained in food itself. Nuts have the highest fat content, followed by various meats, while rice, noodles, vegetables, and fruits contain very little.
