What's Trending: Is your cai fan order secretly blowing your sodium limit?
Think your usual cai fan, noodles or hawker meal is reasonably healthy? You might want to check the numbers.
A Singaporean man recently logged a plate of economic rice with two vegetables and one meat into the Healthy 365 app and discovered it contained 2,125mg of sodium, already above the recommended daily limit of 2,000mg. And he’s not alone: a new national survey found that 95% of Singaporeans are exceeding the daily sodium limit, while average sodium intake has climbed to 4,000mg a day.
On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Alexandra Parada find out which Singapore dishes are the real sodium bombs. And with more Singaporeans eating out regularly, could smaller portions or asking for less salt and sauce make a difference?
