The spoon, which is made of plastic and metal, is aimed at people struggling to reduce their salt intake, as excess sodium intake is linked to increased cases of high blood pressure, strokes and other conditions.
這款湯匙由塑膠和金屬製成,旨在幫助那些很難減少鹽攝取量的人們,因為鈉攝取量過多與高血壓、中風和其他疾病的發生率上揚有關。
The Electric Salt Spoon works by passing a weak electric current through the tip of the device to concentrate sodium ion molecules on the tongue.
電子鹽湯匙的運作原理是透過裝置尖端傳遞微弱電流,將鈉離子分子集中在舌頭上。
