It's true.
The target salt intake for Japanese people is less than 7.5g for men and less than 6.5g for women. (Dietary intake standard 2020 version) Drinking ramen to the soup contains about 7g of salt per cup, so it means that you have taken almost one day's salt content. Many people increase blood pressure by taking too much salt every day, so try to reduce salt on a daily basis. Even young people, if they consume too much salt, they will be at risk of higher blood pressure in the future, so be careful and learn a light lifestyle!
3 Japanese people really lack 30% of dietary fiber! ?
It's true.
The amount of dietary fiber required for Japanese people is 21g for men and 18g for women (dietary intake standard 2020 version), but the actual amount consumed is 14.4 g (results of the 2018 National Health and Nutrition Survey) ) And about 30% short!

It's true.
In order to satisfy the daily vitamins and dietary fiber, you need to consume 350g or more of vegetables. However, about 70% of Japanese people, especially about 80% in their 20s and 40s, do not reach 350g and are lacking in vegetables. Vegetables are an important source of vitamins and minerals, a nutrient necessary to make carbohydrates and proteins available to the body.
