Use other spices
Adding too much salt during the cooking process can increase the burden on the kidneys in secreting sodium ions and causing high blood pressure. If you want to prevent high blood pressure, you need to pay attention to using salt properly.
Some natural spices such as black pepper, garlic, fennel... can be used to enhance the flavor of foods. Adding them appropriately when cooking can reduce the amount of salt used and enhance the flavor of the dish.
Cut down the ingredients
Many people often cut the ingredients into large pieces when cooking, making it difficult for salt to penetrate inside, so they may need more salt to make the dish more delicious. If you can cut the food into small strips or slices, adding an appropriate amount of salt during the stir-frying process will make the food delicious and avoid adding too much salt causing high blood pressure.
Add sugar to taste
Adding other spices appropriately during the cooking process can reduce the sensitivity of the tongue to salt. When cooking, add an appropriate amount of white sugar and reduce the amount of salt used. This will make the food flavorful and avoid absorbing too much sodium, which is also beneficial for stabilizing blood pressure.
Choose low-sodium salt
The sodium chloride content in common table salt is usually over 97%, while low-sodium salt supplements 10-35% potassium chloride, helping to reduce sodium ionization levels but not losing the saltiness. Therefore, you should choose salt with low sodium content to reduce sodium intake when cooking without losing flavor.
