Chinese dessert, which water is the most sodium!?

"Think of choosing Chinese sweets, clear water = less sodium? 😳 Many people guessed wrong... until eating almost all the quota of sodium all day in one meal!"

Chinese sweets are a menu that many people consider "lightly," but what to look out for may not only be calories... but sodium in curry.

According to the data in the image (compare doses per 200 grams),

🥇 Chinese Treats Southern Solution (No Coconut Milk) Sodium is the highest 1,792 mg.

🥈 Chinese dessert, Southern remedy (with coconut milk) 1,672 mg

🥉 684 mg of Chinese water candy

4️⃣ Chinese Sweets (Central Region) 502 mg

5️⃣ 424 mg of Chinese sweets

📌 The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends sodium intake, not more than 2,000 mg / day (about 5 g salt equivalent).

That means...

👉 Just one Chinese dish (according to this information) has already received sodium. Over 80-90% of the recommended daily intake does not include boiled eggs, pickles, pork narrows, side dishes or other meals.

But don't panic. 😊

It doesn't mean you don't eat, but if you like this menu, try sodium reduction methods, such as:

✅ Scoop the curry but fit. No need to scoop it all.

✅, add a lot of fresh vegetables, add fiber and satiety.

✅ Reduce the addition of fish sauce, chili fish sauce or added seasoning.

✅ If this meal is high in sodium, another meal of the day, try choosing a non-flavored meal and avoiding processed food.

❤️ Eating wisely is not abstaining from delicious things, but "knowing what's on the plate" and choosing to balance each day.

Please tell me.

And don't forget, share this post to remind people in the house, because many people still think that "clear water = little sodium" may not always be the case.

As for thickeners, you may also be careful about fat. Less water will be more healthy.
