零起点美语-Slow down on salt.

Slow down on salt.

少放点盐。
The human body needs 1,000 to 3,300 milligrams of salt a day. The average adult consumes 5,000 milligrams per day! Too much salt has been linked to high blood pressure, heart disease and other illnesses.
Too much salt can also turn you into a water-retaining blimp. Worse yet, eating salt makes you crave more salt! No wonder snack food companies make so many salty items!
Stop reaching for the salt shaker! Many foods, especially processed foods, are full of salt before they reach the table.
A cup of potato salad can have more than 1,300 milligrams of sodium, three ounces of canned ham almost 1,000. A slice of cheese adds 406. milligrams of sodium to your sandwich. Read labels and opt for lower-salt versions of your favorite foods.
人体每天需要一千到三千三百毫克的盐。而成年人平均每天吃进多达五千毫克的盐！摄取过多的盐份会导致高血压、心脏病和其它疾病。
过多的盐份也会把你变成一个水肿的肉球。更糟的是，吃得愈咸会使你想吃更多盐!难怪那些卖零食的公司制造出这么多含高盐份的产品!
别再找盐罐了!许多食物，尤其是加工过的，在送上桌前都是加满了盐的。
一杯马铃薯沙拉中的钠，可能超过一千三百毫克，而三盎司的罐装火腿中的钠也有将近一千毫克。一片乳酪也为你吃的三明治添加了406毫克的钠。仔细研读卷标后再选购你喜爱的低盐食物。
