Why is the blood pressure still soaring when salt has been controlled? These 4 invisible salts are hidden too deep!

When it comes to the "culprit" of high blood pressure, a high salt diet is a must.

This is mainly due to sodium ions in salt, which is the main cause of high blood pressure.

Therefore, it is necessary to control salt intake in order to prevent hypertension.

In order to prevent the occurrence of high blood pressure, many people restrain the use of salt when cooking, but the effect is often not obvious, and eventually they suffer from high blood pressure.

Obviously reduced the use of salt, why still suffering from high blood pressure?

In fact, this is probably due to the unconscious intake of "invisible salt".

The following kinds of invisible salt appear in most people's kitchens. Let's have a look!

1. Soy sauce

Soy sauce can be seen in almost every kitchen. When cooking, adding some soy sauce can enhance color and freshness. Soy sauce is rich in protein, amino acids, calcium, iron and other nutrients, which is also good for health.

But soy sauce is also high in salt, only 100 milliliters of soy sauce, its salt content is as high as 18 grams.

Therefore, it is not recommended to add too much when cooking. Even if you want to use it, you should choose low-salt soy sauce and reduce the use of salt while using soy sauce.

2. Salted vegetables

Many families also like to store some salted vegetables at home.

These salted vegetables taste salty and fragrant, good to eat, and add color to the table. However, salted vegetables are also high salt food. If you often eat them, it is easy to lead to excessive salt intake and induce hypertension.

3. Cooked meat products

Cooked meat products such as roast chicken, sausage, dried fish and sauced beef are simple and convenient. They can be eaten without processing. Many office workers have no time to cook and often buy these foods.

But this kind of food in the production process will add a lot of salt and additives, resulting in a significant increase in the sodium content, resulting in people unknowingly excessive salt intake.

4. Convenience food

Bread, breakfast cereals and other convenient foods are also available in many families. It is convenient and fast to eat these foods when there is no time to cook breakfast in the morning.

In fact, these convenience foods also contain a lot of salt. For example, the sodium content of bread is relatively high. If you add ketchup, peanut butter and other seasonings, it is more likely to lead to excessive sodium intake.

The salt content of many ready to eat cereals is also relatively high, so before purchasing, you should carefully check the ingredients list and choose products with low sodium content.

It can be seen that invisible salt is everywhere around us. In order to prevent excessive salt intake, we suggest that you master some salt reduction tips in your life.

For example, when cooking, dried shrimp and shiitake mushrooms are used to improve the freshness of food, reduce the use of salt, you can also use vinegar, ginger, pepper instead of salt. At ordinary times, try to buy fresh food materials, reduce the consumption of convenient food and cooked meat products, salted vegetables and other food.

In addition, we can also eat more potassium rich food in our daily life, which can promote the excretion of sodium, so as to offset the harm caused by sodium.

Therefore, it is suggested that we should reduce the consumption of the above food in our life, buy more fresh food, put less salt, soy sauce and other seasonings when cooking, and control the salt intake from many aspects, so as to better prevent the occurrence of hypertension.
