Скачать или смотреть Could MSG help lower your sodium intake?

#letstalknutrition: why the big hoo-ha over your sodium/salt consumption? It’s because high intakes can contribute to issues like high blood pressure, heart problems and kidney disease - to name a few.

If you’re wondering how much salt to consume daily, the WHO recommends ≤ 5g of salt for healthy adults.
For context, 1 tsp of salt weighs 6g!* And most of us consume way more than this 🥲

Any other ideas on how else you can reduce your sodium intake aside from low-sodium condiment alternatives?

‼️ Btw another industry term for MSG is ‘flavour enhancer E621’ – so when you see the term, you know what it is!

*Reference points when reading nutrition labels (bc they’re mostly listed as ‘sodium’)
5g salt = 2000mg sodium
6g salt = 2300mg sodium
