The Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Oleg Salagai, said: The World Health Organization recommends that residents of Russia reduce their salt intake per day. WHO experts are confident that the consumption of this product should be reduced at least twice.

“In other words, if now the salt intake is 11 grams per day, then now you should reduce the rate to five grams daily,” says Salagai. - That is, you need to get used to the salt intake limit, which is equal to one teaspoon without a slide for 24 hours. Ideal if this salt is iodized. ”

For clarity, we note that 2 grams of salt contains one pigtail of chechil cheese, a piece of cooked sausage weighing 250 grams, a pan of soup with a volume of one and a half liters.

It should be added that excessive salt intake leads to kidney problems, increases the likelihood of heart attacks, and raises blood pressure.
