Through modernization, our diets have changed and are high in sodium and low in essential minerals. This trend will cause serious consequences to our health.

Potassium, magnesium and calcium are vital minerals that are found naturally in all food, but the main source is still from fruits and vegetables. However, we do not take sufficient fruits and vegetables in our daily diet, causing our bodies to lack these essential minerals that can help in guarding our blood pressure.

3. What is the current world trend on sodium intake?

Over the recent years, the world is moving towards a low-sodium and low-salt diet. Most professionals, including doctors, professors and dietitians, are convinced that Low sodium and enriched mineral diets (esp. Potassium, and Magnesium) are one of the most important modifiable risk factor for hypertension, heart disease, stroke and so on. Clinical studies and research have shown significant improvement of health by using low-sodium and potassium-rich salt. (Chang et al 2006; Yang et al 2011)

4. How much sodium do I need in a day?

Sodium is required by our body in a very small quantity. A healthy adult needs approximately 0.5grams of sodium for daily body function (equivalent to 1.25g of salt). Please refer to the chart below for a greater understanding on this. (Mahan & Escott-Stump 2000)

5. How do I reduce my sodium intake?

USE LOW-SODIUM SALT IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD COOKING! Low sodium salt does not only come with reduced sodium but it is enriched with potassium and other minerals. Low sodium and high potassium intake will help in the prevention of hypertension and its complications at a significant level. (Yang et al 2011; Houston et al 2008)

We also highly recommend restaurants, hospitals and catering services to use low-sodium salt or Fine Foods™ Lake Salt LIGHT in the preparation of meals.

6. Is there any limit for our sodium intake?

Yes. Our body’s daily tolerance level is about 2.3grams of sodium (equivalent to 5.8g of salt). Any amount exceeding this limit will burden our body and increase the risk of hypertension, kidney problem, heart disease and stroke. Please refer to the chart below for a clearer picture on this. (Mohan & Campbell 2009)

7. Why do I need to limit or reduce my sodium/salt intake? Is it bad for my health?

Studies have shown that excessive sodium intake in our daily diet is a major factor of HYPERTENSION, a.k.a. high blood pressure. The rise of blood pressure increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney failure and other heart-related complications. Hypertension is one of the most significant underlying factors for the number 1 killer in Malaysia and the world, which falls under cardiovascular diseases (CVD). (WHO; He & Gregor 2008)
