The Singaporean government has actively promoted the efforts and measures of healthy life in recent years, and cannot be defeated on the table.The salt of the Chinese people's diet is too high, and it is very worrying from the released data. The sodium content of foreign food dishes from 2010 to 2023 has increased by 22%. It is undoubtedly amazing.Obviously extremely unhealthy.At the end of the year at the end of the year, it is a season of eating and drinking, and you should remind yourself and take care of your health.
Minister of Health Wang Yikang pointed out in an exclusive interview with Lianhe Morning Post recently that one of the next work priorities of the Ministry of Health is to reduce the amount of salt by Chinese people, because "the problem of salt is quite serious."Most of the sodium -salt that we currently eat is food additives. If the sodium contained in is too much, it can easily lead to various cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, heart disease, stroke, etc.Data show that the sodium intake of 90 % of the population in Singapore exceeds the standard.Cardiovascular disease accounts for about one -third of the number of local deaths.Whether it can actively control the ingredients of the food table food not only affects the health of the people, but also determines the ultimate effect of various health care measures promoted by the Ministry of Health.
Sodium is an indispensable element of the human body, which helps maintain the role of cell acid -base balance, and it is also a substance required for neurotripping and muscle contraction.There are natural sodium in food.However, in the modern society's diet, salt is a compound called "sodium chloride". Excessive intake can cause heart function to change.To this end, many countries have the guidance principles of sodium -containing intake. The suggestions of the World Health Organization are 2,000 mg per day, but the intake of Singaporeans is as many as 3600 mg (1000 mg equal to 1 gram).Professor Chen Huaqin, chairman of the board of directors of the Singapore Cardiac Foundation, said in an previous interview: "For every reduction of one gram of salt, the incidence of myocardial infarction can be reduced by 4%, and the stroke rate can be reduced by 6%."The amount of intake may have a lot of influence on the body, especially for people above middle age.
Excessive chronic patients such as cardiovascular and hypertension will become a burden on the overall medical care of the country. If it is superimposed with the medical needs of the upcoming aging aging society, it will increase the load of the national medical system for a long time.Data published in Congress not long ago show that there are 2.8 doctors per thousand people in Singapore. Although a little higher than in 2018, it is not enough to cope with the coming super -aging society.Synthesis facilities.
The trend of super -aging aging is irreversible, but health can be controlled and adjusted by individuals, and diet is an important means.The traditional diet of Nanyang's various ethnic groups is more important to taste. Our cognitive common sense is that "delicious is always unhealthy, and healthy is always not delicious." Therefore, changes need to be more laborious.In addition, the crown disease epidemic at home in recent years makes people even more alert to urban people if they do not consciously pay attention to health, and it is easy to have health problems that can not occur for long -term sitting, and rely on food, fast food and processing foods.Excessive stealth health crisis.
It is necessary to pay special attention, including low -income and vulnerable groups. They may also have a low awareness of eating healthy diet due to lack of time exercise or to save money.Free food for group donations.However, once they are unhealthy due to uneven diet, they will worsen their economic conditions and social situations.
The government leads the government to promote healthy lifestyle such as less salt, which helps to comprehensively improve the awareness of Chinese people in this regard, while coordinating the catering industry to make changes.Six local and Asian catering and manufacturing groups have promised to support reducing salt in diet, and participating in the "less salt and flavor" campaign, which is gratifying.The catering industry should even improve awareness, review the recipes of thousands of sauces in the local delicious diet, use natural spices as much as possible, and actively change the cooking method and exert creativity. This is done.Wang Yikang revealed that after these years of efforts, the Chinese people's intake of sugar has begun to decrease, which is a good phenomenon.
In the process, the cost of front -line catering retailers will increase in the short term, but with the increase in procurement volume such as low sodium salt, the cost burden should be reduced.
Entering the elderly and even old age, it is a blessing to individuals, family members and society. Compared to young people, middle -aged and elderly people have controlling taste buds and gastrointestinals. It is an indispensable healthy life.homework.There are almost 600,000 people in the Health SG plan to register. About half of them have visited a doctor for preventing diagnosis. The Ministry of Health is still working hard.However, we use to promote various measures to encourage exercise and maintain health, including hierarchical labels to add sugar drinks. If the Chinese people are not active, they will not be able to play with the pleasure of the food table food. Everything will eventually lose money.
