“ARE YOU EATING TOO MUCH SALT?”
Health article & self help book resource for lifetime health & fitness

Herbalife programmes are centred around eating healthily. And for most of us, eating healthily means cutting down on salt. Even if cutting down on your salt intake wont reduce your waist measurement, it’ll make you a healthier person, better able to follow your weight management programme.

But its not that simple. have you ever been confused by the nutritional labels on food? Salt, sodium, what’s the difference?

Salt is the general name given to sodium chloride. 6g of salt contains about 2.5g of sodium and it’s the sodium in salt that can lead to health problems, such as higher than average blood pressure.

Its important that you educate your customers to avoid them over indulging on salt. Your weight management customers may feel that by reducing their calorie intake and cutting out delicious creamy rich sauces, they overcompensate by adding seasoning and salt is one of the ways they can add flavour and taste to their food.

When cooking:

• Add fresh natural herbs such as basil, coriander, rosemary, mint and thyme to lean protein options such as chicken, tofu and fish.

• Don’t add salt when cooking. Taste the cooked food, then decide how much you need –if any!

• Chop fresh mint onto salads and add fresh basil to tomatoes.

When eating out:

• Don’t add salt until you’ve tried your food. Its so easy to add it automatically!

• Go easy on salt, and add more pepper instead!

Is sea salt better for your customers?

There are minute traces of minerals in sea salt, which you don’t find in ordinary salt. Although these might be beneficial, its just as important that your customers cut their intake of sea salt.

Well, lets look at the main sources of salt…

• processed foods.

• Salt we add when cooking or at the table

• Salt found naturally in most foods.

How can you ensure your customers eat less salt?

More flavour, less salt! Processed food should already be out of the picture for your current customers. Ensure that they have tasty options to choose from for their evening meals by suggesting the following:

When shopping:

• replace unhealthy salt-laden snacks such as crisps with crunchy soy nuts for an oven-roasted flavour.

• Cut down on sauces. Soy sauce is particularly high in salt.

• Choose lower salt stock cubes for cooking, or make your own stock with herbs and spices for flavour instead.

• Choose tinned vegetables that are labelled “no added salt”

• Check nutritional labels.
