Dr. Feng He, University of St. George, London said: 'If a child between 14 and 18 uses a half salt reduction, each child can reduce up to 250 kcal / week of calorie intake.' A pound of body weight corresponds to 3,500 calories.

He and his colleagues analyzed data from the 1997 census of more than 2,000 people aged 4-18 in the UK. More than 1,600 boys and girls have used salt and eat fruits according to a separate memo book.

The scientist also said: 'We found that children who eat a low-salt diet consume less water. From the results of this study, we estimate that reducing 1 gram of salt in the daily diet will reduce the need for sugar down to 100 grams / day. '

Children who eat less salt will also drink less drinks that contain a lot of sugar. He also added that reducing 1 gram of table salt would reduce sugar consumption to 27 grams / day. This study has been published by scientists after taking into account factors such as age, gender, body weight and level of physical activity. He said parents should check food labels and remember to choose low-salt products; When cooking, salt should not be added to them.

According to the American Heart Association, healthy adults should reduce sodium levels to below 2,300 milligarms or 2.3 grams per day - approximately 1 teaspoon of salt.
