Chinanews, Beijing, April 20 - Each Beijing family will get a free salt volume spoon, to control their daily intake¹ of salt.

According to a recent survey, 35% of adults in Beijing are overweight, and another 17% suffering from obesity². However, the national figure of the overweight cases is only 22.8%. "Diseases resulting from unhealthy diet habit, like obesity, hypertension and diabetes³, are spreading very fast in Beijing," said Zhao Chunhun, vice⁴ director of Beijing Municipal Health Bureau.

Thus the Health Bureau is determined⁵ to help the citizens form a healthier diet, and the first step will be to limit the amount of salt they eat to 6 g every day, as is recommended by WHO.

Besides the spoon, documents on the harmfulness of eating too much salt will be given to Beijing citizens, too.
