Reduce sodium and potassium to prevent high blood pressure
- The WHO recommends reducing sodium intake while increasing potassium intake to reduce the risk of high blood pressure. 
- Reduce sodium intake to less than 2 000 mg per day (ie less than one level teaspoon of salt), and ensure that potassium intake is higher than 3 510 mg per day. 
Tips For Reducing Salt Intake
- When cooking, gradually reduce the amount of salt or sodium-containing seasonings to allow the taste buds to adjust to the light taste. 
- When eating out, it is required to reduce the condiments/sauce, and require the condiments/sauce to be added instead of being poured on the food. 
- Refer to the nutrition labels of prepackaged foods and choose products with lower sodium. 
- Maintain a balanced diet, eat less processed foods, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and unsalted beans/peas and nuts.
