Know Your Sugar and Salt Limit

Sugar

Be cautious of sugar content concealed in food and drink. Sugar impedes the blood circulatory system and prevents white blood cells from resisting viruses. Excessive sugar consumption will cause diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity, tooth decay and frustration.

* Maximum consumption is 3 teaspoons per day.

Salt

Our body needs it. However, excessive intake of salt will cause problems like hypertension.

* We need between 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per day.
