DID YOU KNOW...?
current guidelines recommend that we limit our sodium intake to no more than 2.3g each day(1) - about 1 teaspoon of salt.
the recommended amount for general good health for most people is 1.6mg(1) - about 2/3 teaspoon of salt.
some people would achieve an adequate sodium intake with 0.92g sodium each day(1).
most people actually consume more than 2.3g sodium each day
reducing salt intake can be achieved by: - using herbs and spices to flavor meals (dried herbs are more intense than fresh, but fresh herbs can add freshness to salads, curries, pastas sauces etc) - using citrus zest or juice may add an edge to dishes - adding mushrooms which contain a natural glutamate – 100g per person – may mean you don’t need to add salt(2).
