Healthy eating challenge
This month we will begin a new challenge of healthy eating and we hope that you will be interested in participating, because it will bring you many benefits. It is about eliminating the use of canned products in the daily preparation of your food.
We have two important reasons why we have proposed this change.
The first, to make you consume less salt and conservatives that affect your circulation. Perhaps you don’t connect that all canned products have a high sodium content, due to the preservation and packaging processes.
The second, to motivate you to prepare your own food and thus make sure that there are no canned products in any of your meals.
I assure you that after two weeks you can easily distinguish the presence of a product that is not fresh or natural.
When health specialists talk about side effects derived from excess salt intake, they refer not only to problems in circulation, high blood pressure and fluid retention, but also to heart failure (when it is not possible to pump the necessary blood throughout the body), which can also cause other cardiovascular accidents, embolisms and hemorrhages, among others.
For all this, it is better to control the consumption of salt or sodium as soon as possible. Today is a good time to start such an important change in your health. Contact a Community Health Promoter from El Centro Inc. at 913-677-0100, to help you get started on the challenge.
