,
I hope this email meets you in good health.
Before I go ahead, Please when last did you check your blood pressure? Yes you!
If you have not checked it in the last one week, then you NEED to check it ASAP. Yes... ( I am serious o)
Crazy things are happening. Blood pressures are rising here and there. People slumping up and down!
That's why I said... Let me send you this email. So you stay intentional.
So, according to the American Heart Association and other health bodies , a healthy adult should have no more than 1500mg of sodium (salt) ( about 2/3 tablespoon) daily. The 70g pack (smallest size) of your favorite instant noodles, the one that starts with an I has 1080mg. Yes in that smallest pack o!
If you are already hypertensive...of course...you know you should do a lot less or no added salt.
I talked more about it HERE.
So you get bah...
NOTE: This in no way endorses instant noodles for non-hypertensives
Also please no reply me to ask 'if I remove the seasoning inside and add carrot and egg, izit beta?' (Ayam not at home)
To chop or to not chop...its still up to you. But I hope you make intentionally healthy choices.
It takes one day to move from a normal blood pressure to a high one.
Please stay intentional . Please.
As always, I am rooting for you.
Yours in Spicy Jollof and vegetable salad,
Dr Chinasa.
