Core Points - The article emphasizes the importance of reducing salt intake for health, highlighting that the average daily salt consumption in China is 11 grams, which is double the recommended limit of 5 grams by the Chinese Dietary Guidelines and the World Health Organization [1] - The establishment of "China Salt Reduction Week" aims to promote awareness about salt reduction and encourage families to use salt scientifically and reasonably [1] Misconceptions about Salt - Misconception 1: Eating less salt can lead to cramps. In reality, daily dietary sodium is usually sufficient, and cramps are more likely related to dehydration or muscle fatigue [2][3][5] - Misconception 2: Normal blood pressure means no need to reduce salt. High salt intake poses long-term health risks, including damage to blood vessel elasticity and increased cardiovascular disease risk, affecting all age groups [5][7] - Misconception 3: Specialty salts like rose salt and sea salt are healthier. These salts primarily consist of sodium chloride, and their mineral content is negligible compared to other food sources [8][10] Hidden Sources of Salt - Certain condiments, such as soy sauce and chicken essence, contain high levels of salt. Foods that may not taste salty, like noodles and ice cream, can also have significant sodium content [10][12][14] - For example, 100 grams of noodles can contain 400 milligrams of sodium, while popcorn sold in cinemas can have 5 to 7.5 grams of salt per 200 grams, which is equivalent to the daily recommended intake for adults [10][16]
