Popular dipping sauce. How much sodium!?
🥢 "Eat a little... how much sodium?" 😱
Many people intend to reduce salinity, not add fish sauce, not eat instant noodles.
But you know... every word of our dipping sauce is another source of sodium that many people overlook!
According to INMUCAL-Nutrients V4.0 (approximately 1 tablespoon, or 15 grams)
🥜. Satay pork dipping sauce. 72 mg.
🐔 Chicken rice dipping sauce. 235 mg.
🍲 Suki dipping sauce. 297 mg.
🦐 Grilled shrimp dipping sauce (seafood). 361 mg.
🥟 Seafood dipping sauce, 575 mg.
🍗 Intensive chicken rice dipping sauce. 591 mg.
🌶️ Chicken dipping sauce. 697 mg.
💡 see that "chicken dipping sauce" and "seafood dipping sauce" provide relatively high sodium compared to other dipping sauces.
But the important thing is...
❗ Most people don't eat just one tablespoon.
Many people add 2-4 tablespoons, or add more between meals, causing a rapid increase in sodium intake.
So how much sodium should we get a day?
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that adults receive
👉 Sodium up to 2,000 milligrams / day
(equivalent to about 5 grams of salt; or about 1 teaspoon)
Don't forget...
Sodium comes not just from dips, but also from
✔️ soy sauce
✔️ Fish sauce
✔️ Seasoning sauce
✔️ Processed food
✔️ Sausage, ham, bacon.
✔️ Instant noodles
✔️ Snacks
Combined all day can unconsciously exceed instructions.
How to reduce sodium without giving up delicious things
🥢 Use less dipping sauce or share a small cup instead of pouring a lot.
🥢 Taste more food before cooking.
🥢 Add flavor with lemon, garlic, chili, or herbs instead of adding salted seasonings.
🥢 If a person has hypertension, kidney disease, or heart disease, special sodium content should be paid attention.
❤️ Health care does not need to abstain from dipping sauces altogether, but "knowing the amount" and "eating fit" will reduce long-term risks.
📌 Save this post before picking up the next dipping sauce and share it with people who like to dunk in every word. 😊
