Fun fact: The average American adult eats a lot of salt
|
Hey! Salt is probably the most used mineral in food prep. And rightly so. It does a lot.
But the average American adult eats about 3500mg of sodium per day. The recommended upper limit? It's 2300mg. That means most people are getting 1,200mg more than they should. Now, I know that might not seem like a lot. Or maybe you have no idea what it seems like. Because who is out here thinking about sodium content anyway? (meeeeeeeeee) And I'm not trying to scare you away from salt. But sodium is something we want to be mindful of. Because we don't have time for high blood pressure, strokes, sad kidneys (aka kidney disease) or sad hearts (aka heart disease). I'll stick to Midwest Emo if I want a sad heart, thank you. β But where does all this sodium come from?Packaged foods and ready-made meals. Not your salt shaker. But cutting back doesnβt mean youβre stuck with bland food. I rounded up a list of low sodium snacks that actually taste good and are easy to get. π Check out the list hereβ Talk soon!

That aunt you see once a year will load up your plate, then turn around and comment on "how much weight you've put on" since she last saw you. Thanks. Or you're at a holiday party and that colleague who tries every fad diet tells you they've sworn off carbs... while your plate is filled...

Hey! Most people say they want to lose weight. What they really want to lose is fat (and feel better in their body). And that's why the scale isn't a great tool by itself. Because it measures EVERYTHING: Bone. Muscle. Fat. Water. Food you're digesting. So it's normal to see your weight jump around by 2-5lbs. Even with the smart scales, you gotta question how accurate they really are. Thankfully, people already have according to research cited in Healthline: A 2021 observational study found...
