Reduce Salt

Excessive consumption of salt can become a real problem for those suffering from hypertension and after so notable dates such as Christmas, even those who do not have high blood pressure we have more treacherous after heavy and tasty meals at all hours.

If you’re determined to reduce salt in your meals here are some simple tips to make you easier.

1. Get rid of your salt shaker table. Use a large pot and open only to add a little salt while cooking.

2. To take the salt of the buttons do not use your hands, not measured either. Better a small one teaspoon to display the amount you add. In this case mejos missing!

3. Go reducing the salt you used to use in different dishes. At first you seem dull but in the end, and I say this from experience, you’ll appreciate much more the flavor of each food, for it is soft.

4. Try not to buy pre-cooked food and food that you buy that contain fewer additives the better. 75% of the salt we eat comes from processed foods to which salt is added for flavor.

In addition to achieving a reduction in salt intake throughout the European Union (EU), the AESAN priority aims to give “new impetus” to plans to combat obesity through the ‘Plan of action on nutrition, obesity and overweight’ European Commission.
