Rospotrebnadzor urged to eat less salt

Rospotrebnadzor in Moscow calls for limiting salt intake in the diet.

First of all, it is recommended to avoid adding salt during cooking and season food only before serving. This will help maintain a more pronounced taste of salt, and the body will be able to better “recognize” it. It is also recommended to remove the salt shaker from the table and avoid salty snacks and fast food. If you eat canned vegetables, it is recommended to rinse them in running water before eating, and it is better to replace them with fresh fruit.

It is recommended to buy salt where part of the sodium chloride is replaced with potassium and magnesium compounds. For example, coarse sea salt is considered healthier than regular table salt due to its lower sodium content and richer chemical composition. You can also completely eliminate salt from your diet and replace it with aromatic herbs such as dill, parsley, celery, green onions, basil, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, ginger and cumin. To get rid of excess salt in the body, it is recommended to include foods rich in potassium in your diet, such as bananas, potatoes and spinach.
