Know how to read the labels
學會讀標簽
Learn how to do this and I have another slide to go along with that
我還有一張幻燈專門講這個
And then finally try more fruits and vegetables
最后是多吃水果蔬菜
I end with try more fruits and vegetables because fruits and vegetables are high in potassium
以水果蔬菜結(jié)尾是因為蔬菜水果富含鉀
Which is a natural way to sort of counteract some of the ill effects of salt on the body
它能自然抵消鹽對身體的一些不利影響
And if you're eating an apple, you're probably not eating something that's high in salt
吃蘋果時,你可能不會吃高鹽的東西
So that's the other way that works
這是另一個原因
Let's look quickly at the nutrition labels
下面來看一下食品標簽
and I want to just point out a few things because these labels are extraordinarily difficult to read
標簽很難讀,我指出幾個重要的東西
Here's where sodium is
這里是鈉
This is a soup label, 660 mg of sodium
這是湯的標簽 660毫克鈉
Here's what I want you to remember here
這是需要大家銘記的
Remember that your target is less than 2300
通常目標是少于2300毫克
And it's less than 1500 if you're over 40, if you're hypertensive or African-American
而40歲以上,高血壓或非裔美國人,標準就應(yīng)為<1500
Our low-sodium food is less than 150 mg
理想的低鈉食品應(yīng)該小于150毫克
So if you're just looking and you want to choose something low sodium
當然,小于150毫克/份的食品可能比較難找到
They're sort of hard to find, but it's less than 150 per serving
當然,小于150毫克/份的食品可能比較難找到
Let's look here. This is the number, the percent of your daily value
再看這里,這是日攝取量百分比
What percent of these targets are you consuming with this particular serving?
每份食品占日目標攝取量的百分比
The key thing to remember here is that this number is slightly misleading
關(guān)鍵在于,這個數(shù)字有些誤導
Because the number is based on 2300
因為標準是2300毫克
If you are really targeting 1500 that percentage is much higher
而大多數(shù)人的標準是1500毫克,百分比這里會高得多
Does that make sense?
明白嗎
So don't be misled
不要被誤導
Don't be comforted and said, oh, this is only a quarter of my salt intake
不要認為它說1/4就是1/4
It's probably about a third if you're actually targeting the 1500 mg of sodium
對于1500毫克標準的人而言,實際可能是1/3
This is really important too
這也非常重要
Remember that all of these numbers are based on serving size
記住,所有這些數(shù)字都基于一份的量
And in a can of soup, there are two servings of soup
而這罐湯,總共是兩份
So if you decided to eat the whole can, you need to double all of these numbers
如果吃掉一整罐,所有數(shù)字都需要乘2
And so please make sure as you're reading the labels check the serving size
務(wù)必弄清楚標簽中一份的量
