Lower your sodium intake by making smarter food choices. The tips below shows you how to.
The Department of Dietetic & Food Services at Changi General Hospital (CGH), a member of the SingHealth group, shares easy ways to reduce salt in your diet when eating at home, eating out and grocery shopping.
How to reduce sodium in your diet
Choose fresh foods such as fruits and vegetables, meat, poultry and fish.
Taste your food before adding salt and/or sauces. If more flavouring is needed, add sparingly. To let your tastebuds adapt to less salty food, gradually reduce the amount of salt and/or sauces added during cooking and at the table.
Substitute salty snacks such as potato chips and salted nuts, with fresh or dried fruits and unsalted nuts.
