2. Salt basics: the difference between salt and nitrate
Firstly, salt (dietary salt) and nitrate are different substances. Salt consists mainly of sodium and chlorine, which are essential for our bodies and are widely used as a seasoning.
Nitrates, on the other hand, are compounds found in vegetables, meat and tap water and have both positive and negative effects on health. Nitrates from plant sources are believed to help prevent cardiovascular disease, dementia and diabetes, while nitrates from animal sources may increase the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Even the vegetables we casually eat contain salt?

Salt content in soy sauce Soya sauce is a salty condiment. The following is the approximate salt content of a typical soy sauce 1 tbsp soy sauce: contains about 2.6 g of salt. This means that if you use two tablespoons of soy sauce, you will exceed the daily salt intake standard by itself. How to manage your daily salt intake The following tips can help you keep your salt intake under 5 grammes Reduce the amount of salt when cooking: seasoning with herbs and spices instead of salt is a great way to reduce salt content while still tasting good. Use low-salt seasonings: choose low-salt products such as low-salt soy sauce and salt-free soups. Avoid processed foods: use fresh produce whenever possible, as processed foods often contain a lot of salt. Check food labels: check the salt content on food packaging and do not exceed your daily intake. A good rule of thumb is to consume less than a teaspoon (about 5 grams) of salt per day. Seasonings such as soy sauce also contain salt, so be careful about the amount you use. Try to manage salt in a healthy way by using different cooking methods and choosing the right ingredients. |
