Reducing salt intake can help reduce the possibility of high blood pressure; reducing sugar intake can help control weight and avoid the subsequent adverse effects of obesity on the body (chronic inflammation, diabetes, etc.). WHO recommends that daily salt intake should be limited to less than 5 grams (about 1 teaspoon), and iodized salt should be used; try to eat fresh fruits and vegetables as snacks instead of sweets (such as biscuits, cakes and chocolates).

Pan Fuzi added that according to the survey results of the national nutritional status change by the Ministry of Health and Welfare over the years, eating heavy salty food is not only a problem for the elderly, young people under the age of 30 eat more salty food than in the past, and the sodium intake of young people exceeds the standard. Much more serious than imagined! Chinese daily total sodiumThe intake should not exceed 2400 mg (ie 6 grams of salt). The daily intake of added sugar should not exceed 10% of total calories.

Choose to eat good oil rather than no oil at all, and don't overdo it. For edible oils, it is recommended to choose oils with monounsaturated fats as the main source, such as olive oil, camellia oil, canola oil, etc. When eating meat, Pan Fuzi recommends choosing white meat (fish, chicken) as much as possible, which is usually low in fat, so as to avoid accidentally eating too much fat.

WHO recommends more intake of natural prototype foods, such as seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables, beans (soy beans, black beans, etc.), nuts (walnuts, almonds, etc.) and whole grains (brown rice,yam, taro, etc.), and animal ingredients (beef, pork, mutton, fish, eggs, milk).

The recommended daily intake for adults is 4 servings of fruits (about the size of a fist), 5 servings of vegetables, 180 grams of whole grains, 160 grams of soybeans, fish, eggs and meat (red meat is recommended to eat 1- 2 times, and poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese are recommended 2 to 3 times a week).
