A child should consume less than 10% of calories per day of saturated fat at the age of 2. Sodium consumption should be less than 2,300 milligrams per day, and even less for kids under 14 years old.

"Strategies to lower sodium intake include cooking at home more often; using the Nutrition Facts label to choose products with less sodium, reduced sodium, or no-salt-added, etc.; and flavoring foods with herbs and spices instead of salt based on personal and cultural foodways," according to the new guidelines.

新指南称，“降低钠摄入的策略包括：多在家煮饭，使用营养成分标签选择钠含量少或不加盐的产品等，根据个人喜好和饮食文化，用香草或香料替代盐来调味。”
