I don't have any questions, I just wanted to thank you for bringing life back to me.

I was so sick and now I am feeling as good as I did twenty years ago! It has been a long battle: no energy, aches and pains going from one Dr. to the next. They told me it was anything from arthritis to depression; they had me on steroids for three years... All behind me now!

I just don't know how to thank you. I think it would be wonderful if you could just be everywhere with your caring heart. Information and the real reason behind all of the bad, sick days that so many of us have had.

Sincerely, Jessica...@telusplanet.net

Reduce Salt Intake To Protect Bones

A new study from Australia suggests that salt reduction can benefit bone health by decreasing calcium loss. The study included middle-aged women who had pre-or stage 1 hypertension. The women who were told to eat a low-sodium diet experienced a decrease in calcium excretion compared to those who ate a high-carb low-fat diet. Decreasing the urinary calcium excretion by lowering sodium intake has a beneficial effect on bone health.

Salt is definitely necessary for the body to reduce hypertension and control blood pressure levels. The western world consumes an average of 10-12 g of salt a day, however only 5 grams is needed a day. People do not realize that over 80% of the salt the western world takes in comes from processed food.

The study published by the American Heart Association's Hypertension journal found that decreasing salt intake from 9.7 to 6.5 grams a day decreased the average blood pressure from 146/91 to 141/88 mmHg within six weeks. Another study shows that reducing salt intake is good for women who are at risk of developing osteoporosis.
