🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ It Tastes Good, But Is It Healthy?
Pass on the salt
Eating too much salt can cause additional fluid retention in your body. It can also lead to other health issues, such as a greater risk of heart problems and stroke. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)Trusted Source, the current daily value for sodium is 2,300 milligrams (mg). However, the American Heart Association recommends limiting sodium to 1,500 mg per day. More than 70 percent of sodium found in American diets comes from processed or restaurant foods. To reduce your salt intake, steer clear of cured meats, cheese, breads, and other processed foods.Prepackaged foods like instant soups are often high in sodium. Reading labels can help you identify excessive amounts of salt. Instead, eat more whole foods like fresh vegetables and fruits.
✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ Is There a Difference in Writing for Adults and Younger Readers?
“It’s actually not very hard to re-set between the adult novels and the ones for younger readers. The narrative voices are very similar, the smartass attitude, the environmental battles. Kids love books that are irreverent and challenge authority, when authority is arbitrary, greedy or foolish. They also love it when you make fun of grownups, and I’ve spent my whole life as a writer doing that.

🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ Is belly fat worse for you than other fat on your body?
Answer: Excess accumulation of belly fat is more dangerous than excess fat around your hips and thighs. Belly fat is associated with serious health problems, such as heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Your genes can contribute to your being overweight and help determine where you carry this extra fat, but poor lifestyle choices are likely to worsen the issue.
