Original title: Britain to control salt, step by step
now, more and more countries realize that "eat more salt, destroy health." Therefore, in order to improve the health indicators of the whole population, governments are spared no effort to reduce salt, the United Kingdom is doing enough.
86 per cent of Britons know that eating too much salt is bad for their health, but more than half never or rarely consider the salt content of their food when buying it, according to figures released by the Department of Health. The British Ministry of Health Underseinmission Sobright has seriously reminded the public that excessive salt intake seriously affects health, will increase the prevalence of high blood pressure, heart disease and other diseases.
2003, Britain began a massive "salt reduction campaign". The food production industry has improved salty foods, reducing the salt content of most processed foods in supermarkets by 20% to 30% over a period of 5 years, and extending salt reduction programs to food suppliers such as restaurants and small shops. In March 2007, in its third salt reduction campaign, the British government launched the "Traffic Lights" programme: first to inform the public that everyday foods, especially processed foods, already contain 75 per cent of the salt needed by the human body; The Food Standards Agency advises the public to shop for food with a green light sign, which can only be eaten occasionally.
2013, the Department of Health stepped up efforts to limit the average daily salt intake to 6 grams and promote a low-salt diet. British authorities are pushing for more food companies to take action, including the Public Health Responsibility Agreement Food Network, to adjust food formulations and reduce salt content; to set salt limits for popular fast food items such as sandwiches and French fries; and to urge food suppliers and supermarkets to help consumers choose through promotions and other means. Low-salt foods; hundreds of food companies have signed "salt-reducing" agreements promising to reduce salt content in their food; and experts in various disciplines have demonstrated through a number of powerful studies that eating less salt can bring benefits to the body, and eating more potassium-rich fruits and vegetables can reduce the harmful effects of high salt on the body.
14 years of effort, the Department of Health found that sodium levels detected in national urine had been reduced by 15 per cent and stroke cases had fallen by more than 20,000. Although the UK government's "salt control" campaign costs at least 5 million pounds (about 8.5 yuan) a year, it has saved 1.5 billion pounds in public health spending. Salt reduction is a sensible choice for promoting national health and reducing government pressure. However, British media point out that if the government is to make more progress, it needs to involve more caterers and sellers to take concrete action to provide people with more healthy options.
salt reduction trick
put salt before lifting the pan. Put a small amount of salt or soy sauce before starting the pan, although the salt does not go deep into the inside of the food, but the tongue can still feel salty. This reduces the amount of salt at the same saltiness. And tests have found that late salt release can reduce vitamin C loss. (Wooldock)
