Sewing portion
Each packaged product clearly states the portion size and amount used at one time. Many people easily misunderstand that the entire packaging is a serving, leading to consuming more calories than necessary. Reading this section carefully helps control the amount of food suitable for the body's needs.
Calories and fat
Calories represent the energy provided by food. Nutrition labels will show the total calories per serving, helping you adjust according to your energy needs. Also, pay attention to the type of fat: monounsaturated fats are good for the heart, while saturated fats can increase the risk of heart disease.
Nutrients
Nutrition labels provide information about fiber, vitamins and minerals - essential factors for health, helping you balance your portion sizes.
Sodium content
Sodium is a major component of salt, although it is necessary for nerve and muscle function, consuming too much can increase the risk of high blood pressure, cardiovascular and kidney disease. Since sodium is often used as a preservative in processed foods, controlling consumption is very important.
Sugar content
Sugars such as sucrose or fructose can be clearly marked on the label. A diet high in sugar is associated with inflammation and metabolic disorders. Therefore, reading sugar content carefully helps control calories and protect long-term health.
