the market is difficult to find salt control tools
what is salt control tool? Many people do not know much about it. The common salt control tool is a salt control spoon. The salt control spoon is a spoon designed to control the intake of salt. It is marked with the scale of salt, a flat spoon to 2 grams of high purity salt, a precise quantification of the amount of each time, a large spoon of 6 grams, and a large spoon is the largest amount of the day.
the reporter visited a number of large supermarkets in Ji'nan City, and found that the spoons were all in the supermarket's kitchen area, but the salt spoon were not controlled only. The salesmen in the supermarket made clear that there was no salt spoon. In the new world shopping mall on hero hill road, many shopkeepers shook their heads and said they had never run such a tool. No one ever asked salt control scoop before. I heard it for the first time. A shopkeeper, Mr. Wang, said that the salt control spoon would not be purchased in the short term.
is it so difficult to buy a small salt spoon? The reporter found in some online shops that the store has a salt control spoon for sale, with a price of only one or two yuan, but the price after the postage is lost.
good habits need to be formed
quantitative salt control spoon is difficult to buy in the market, businessmen do not want to buy the phenomenon also shows that people are not accustomed to low salt diet.

Ji'nan city centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that salt control operations have been carried out in Ji'nan for more than ten years. Last year, a large number of salt spoons were distributed to the public, relying on the salt reduction and prevention of hypertension project and the community health service center.
