The doctor described the daily salt requirement and said that it is often not taken into account in the calculation.
For a healthy person, it is no more than 5 grams, said the endocrinologist and nutritionist Pavel Baranov in commentary for AiF. But you should remember that there are foods that by default contain a lot of salt. The main sources of a hidden threat: sausages, cooked pork, bacon, pork and similar products, cheese and pickles, canned goods.
If a person buys ready-made food or food in a canteen or cafe, it should be taken into account that more salt may be added to the dish than the body requires. And if he cooks at home, and there are no special contraindications, the limit may be one teaspoon per day of added salt to the food that a person prepares, the doctor concluded.
