This week

Green days are within the limit. Nobody manages every day — the point is to see the pattern and bring the high days down.

Keep the taste, cut the salt

You do not have to cook without flavor. Halve the salt, do not abandon it.

  • Use half a cube, not a whole one. Half gives most of the taste for half the salt. Then try a third.
  • Build flavor other ways — onion, garlic, fresh pepper, ginger, and local herbs carry a dish without the salt load.
  • Taste before you add salt at the table. The food is usually salty enough already from the cube.
  • Go easy on dried and smoked fish. Soak or rinse it, and use a little for flavor rather than a lot.
  • Change one thing at a time. Cut the cube first — it is where most of the salt is — and keep it there before changing anything else.
⚠️ About the number: These are estimates — cube sizes and recipes vary, so treat the figure as a guide, not an exact measure. What matters is the direction: fewer cubes, less added salt. This tool only records what you tap; it gives no medical advice and cannot change any tablet your doctor prescribed.
