Share Feedback-How to eat to keep healthy

 

The international standard stipulates that an adult can take in 6g salt every day and Taiwan’s standard also follows the international standard. In fact, an adult takes in 13-14g salt every day in the south of China (Guangdong, etc.), while an adult in 16-18g salt every day in the north of China, which goes far beyond the international standard. In addition to diet habit, it is largely because the intake of soy sauce is too much and soy sauce contains salt. Therefore, the salt intake exceeds the standard. In order to eat soy sauce correctly, please pay attention to the following aspects：

1、do not mix up the cooking soy sauce and light soy sauce

At the time of buying soy sauce, you should see whether it is the table soy sauce or cooking soy sauce marked on the label. The hygienic index for the two kinds of soy sauce is different. The light soy sauce is also called table soy sauce and can be eaten directly; the main usage is vegetable salad and the hygienic index is better; the cooking soy sauce cannot be eaten directly and can only be used for cooking and stir-fry dishes. Many consumers mix up the cooking soy sauce and light soy sauce and they think that there is no problem, but in fact there is the potential health risk. The total bacteria number of cooking soy sauce is slightly higher than that of light soy sauce. If people take the cooking soy sauce as the light soy sauce for a long time, people are liable to suffering from gastroenteritis and other diseases due to the weaker body resistance.

2、Pay attention to the time when to add soy sauce in the dish

Please attention to the time when to add soy sauce in the dish. As for braised fish and braised pork, the soy sauce should be added earlier; as for the stir-fried vegetables and other general fried dishes, we had better add a little soy sauce before dishing the vegetables up out of the pan. In this way, the high temperature in the pan will not destroy amino acid and the sugar caramelization and souring in the soy sauce will also not occur. Some people will not add the soy sauce in the pan while cooking the dishes; instead, they like to add the soy sauce into the dishes directly after dishing the food up out of the pan. If you do like this, you must use the high-quality soy sauce whose total bacteria quantity has reached the standard. You had better not use the ready-to-eat cooking soy sauce.

3、Use the simple method to prevent soy sauce from going mouldy

We also need to care more about the storage of soy sauce. In order to effectively prevent soy sauce from going moldy, adding a few drops of cooking oil, putting several cloves of peeled garlic or adding a few drops of white spirit can have a better function of mould proof.

4. Consume a moderate amount of soy sauce to keep healthy

Although the nutritional value of soy sauce is very high and it contains up to 17 amino acids, various Vitamin B and a certain amount of calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc, the salt content of soy sauce is also very high. Therefore, in normal times, we had better not eat too much soy sauce. The salt content of soy sauce is up to 18%—20%, i.e. 5ml soy sauce contains about 1g salt. In addition to seasoning, the salt in the soy sauce is added for the purpose of preventing the soy sauce from being decayed and deteriorated.

5. Who should eat less soy sauce

Those who suffer from hypertension, nephropathy, cyesedema, ascites of hepatocirrhosis, heart failure, etc. should be careful with the eating soy sauce in normal times. Otherwise, the disease may deteriorate.
