Chinese people are eating too much salt.On average,people in China eat about 10.5 grams of salt
each day,much higher than the 6 grams suggested by Chinese Dietary Guidelines.
China now has one of the highest salt intakes()in the world.To solve this,China worked
out the first salt reduction guide for its food industry.If the guide is followed properly,the average salt
intake for Chinese people will drop by 20 percent by 2030.The guide calls for food companies to lower
the content()in their products by improving their production techniques and changing tastes.
The salt we take in mainly comes from processed food.For example,a 104-gram can of potato chips
includes about 0.66 grams of salt,which accounts for over 10 percent of the suggested daily salt intake.
A 100-gram bag of instant noodles has nearly 2 grams of salt.
A small amount of salt makes food taste better and is important for good health,but eating too much
increases the risk of high blood pressure,heart problems and stroke().And there's no need to worry
that food will be less tasty in the future.A study by the Monell Chemical Center found that it's easy for
people to reduce their salt intake.Although you may think your food is not salty enough at first,your taste
buds()will gradually get used to it and you will feel that your food tastes the same as it did before

What do you usually do in your spare time Chatting online is now a national pastime()in
China,especially among the post-90s and post-00s generations.To some people,however,online chats
can seem like a kind of "polite conversation".58
Get to the Point
When sending a friend request,include your real name and many other identifying information.59 If
you want to start your conversation directly,never send "Are you there "without any follow-up(
)messages.The quicker you get to the point,the more likely the other person is to reply.
60
Please send texts,not voice messages.It might be easier for you to speak than type,but what about
the person on the other end 61 For example,they may be driving a car or at a meeting.Also,never
send information by voice message-it is hard to note down.What's more,you can use emojis and GIFs
