Our cravings for Salt go strong. Because Salt is a mineral and electrolyte which maintains right amount of fluid in our body that helps in good functioning of our health. And, it is rather Tasty.
When we want to bring out the flavours in our food, salt seems to be the first thing we use. But it has also been clearly proven that over consumption of salt in appetite will raise your blood pressure and your risk of developing heart disease, stroke or kidney failure.
How to put sodium hankering to an end:
• The Best thing could be to remove the salt shaker from your dining table. Also, with this trick, the younger family members won’t develop the habit of adding salt.
• Never pass the Salt – make it your plan of action.
• Even though the taste of salt is absorbing, try to love it a little less each day. The taste buds will gradually adjust even in a week’s time.
• Make a habit of reading the food labels and ingredients carefully. Look out to see monosodium glutamate (MSG), baking soda, baking powder, disodium phosphate, sodium alginate and sodium nitrate or nitrite in your food.
• Skip Salt or use minimum salt for yourself when you cook.
• Maintain distance from spices and seasonings which contains sodium.
You can margin the quantity of salt by limiting its usage. Also, If you don’t see the salt, you don’t tend to put it in the food. Always be aware of salt substitutes because it approximately contains some salt.
