As a self-proclaimed speeder, I know I need to be more careful on the freeways. Discovering that the #1 cause of death for children between the ages of 10 and 24 was auto-related tragedies was quite sobering. The World Health Organization is even trying to move away from the phrase “traffic accident” since most “accidents” could be prevented. Every year, approximately 400,000 people die in traffic-related incidents.
I guess no more emails from my blackberry while on the I-10 freeway.
I woke up to discover horrible news, eating salty foods increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. I guess I already knew this, yet I continued to add salt to my pasta, my steak, my potatoes, my fries, my chips, and every other food item I could (even my bread). I always figured my body was craving salt, so I must need to the extra salt in my system. My favorite salt is the sea salt. I love the giant flakes!
So what should I do? Eliminate salt completely? Try to cut back? Eat foods to which I don’t normally add salt (cereal, yogurt, ice cream, candy, etc.)? I wonder if there are any salt alternatives?
