Solity for Seniors

Chinese often consume higher quantities of salt. This is due to their culinary traditions, which rely heavily on sauces and soups that contain substantial amounts of salt. Consequently, the average Chinese person consumes around 12 grams of salt per day, which exceeds the World Health Organization's recommendation of less than 5 grams per day. This high salt intake has led to an increased prevalence of hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases in China. To address this issue, the Chinese government has implemented various public health campaigns and policies aimed at reducing salt consumption. These efforts include promoting low-sodium cooking methods, providing nutritional education, and working with the food industry to reduce the salt content in processed foods. However, changing long-established dietary habits remains a significant challenge, and more sustained efforts are needed to effectively lower salt intake among the Chinese population.
