We now know that one of three key predictors of dementia is high blood pressure, and we also know that too much salt spikes blood pressure. But did you know that the average American sucks in as much as two teaspoons of salt daily. An article in today’s Democrat and Chronicle warns us of the severe health concerns brought on by
that much salt.
J.M. Hirsch who wrote the article … quoted Dr. Stephen Havas, VP for the American Medical Association… who said: “This is the equivalent of a jumbo jet with 400 people on it crashing every day.”
Next time you pick up the salt shaker … remember those who can think about it clearly… and still make choices for well-being … into their senior years… shook less salt than most do. What do you think?
