预防肾衰竭

摆脱盐的“咸”阱!

什么是钠?

钠是维持人体内水分平衡的一种重要矿物质。食用盐含有40%的钠, 其他食品如酱料、调味品、防腐剂和罐头食品中也含有钠。

过量摄取钠有什么危害?
入过多的钠可导致高血压, 而高血压也是引起肾衰竭、中风和心血管疾病的主因之一!摄取过多的钠也会导致口渴, 让人饮用过多的水分。

我可以摄入多少钠?

钠的每日摄入量上限为1茶匙的盐或2,000毫克的钠。

如何阅读营养成分标签?

我们可能不易察觉隐藏在食品中的钠。在购买食品时, 通过阅读营养成分标签, 您可以控制钠的摄入量。

需要注意的食物包括:

腌制和加工食品

咸味小吃

肉汁、汤、鸡精块、调味料和酱料

选择较健康的食品

以下的小贴士能帮助您在外用餐时减少钠的摄入:

点餐时选择较健康食品

点餐前, 记得查看菜单上的食物的营养信息, 选择钠含量较低的食物。您可以按照保健促进局的较健康选择的 “较低钠” 标志来做选择。与同类产品相比, 印有这个标志的食品含钠量至少少了25%。

了解您的食物

尝试询问工作人员食物是如何准备的和他们是否可以做出食材调整或其他的安排, 以减少食物中的钠含量。例如, 您可以要求减少肉汁、酱料, 和把沙拉酱放在一旁, 这样您就可以控制钠的摄入量。

注意食物中隐藏的钠

像腌制、熏制、裹面包糠、用盐水腌渍和含有肉汁、上汤或日式照烧酱之类的食物可能意味着食物中含有大量的钠。

分享您的食物

点小份或者和别人分享食物。这样一来您可以把钠、卡路里和脂肪摄入量减半。

在家下厨

尽量在家做饭及减少出外用餐, 您就可以控制饮食中添加的钠。
