Pass (on) the salt...

In the news: http://bit.ly/9Bi637

Here's an idea, police your overall salt intake yourselves!
Here are some figures you may be interested in:

  • Total daily allowance of Sodium: 1500-2400mg
  • More than 11% of all the sodium intake is from what you add in food preparation
  • More than 70% is added in the processing of many food products

A tax on increased salt in the production of food may be a step in the right direction. We need to be more realistic when policing ourselves and our loved ones as to our own habits.

Decreasing your risk for disease and disability can be as simple as getting the right information about how to make proper nurtition and increased physical activity a part of your life.
