Spice up your life - Cut back Salt / Sodium

Salt is a chemical compound called sodium chloride, with the formula NaCL (Na = sodium, CL = chlorine). Sodium chloride consists of 40% sodium and 60% chlorine. Salt is of low toxicity and is non-flammable. Seen under a microscope, table salt is made up of many cube-shaped crystals.

Salt exists naturally in seawater. When an area of seawater becomes enclosed it evaporates under the sun, a deposit is left. Over millions of years other sediments have been deposited over the salt, leaving beds of halite (rock salt) below the surface.

Lets know the facts - Fat and Cholesterol

Almost all foods contain some fat. Even quintessential fat-free foods like carrots and lettuce contain small amounts of this nutrient. That's a testament to how important fats are for life. Fat provides a terrific source of energy as well as a great depot for storing it. It is an important part of cell membranes, helping govern what gets into cells and what comes out. The body uses cholesterol as the starting point to make estrogen, testosterone, vitamin D, and other vital compounds. Fats are also biologically active molecules that can influence how muscles respond to insulin's "open up for sugar" signal; different types of fats can also fire up or cool down inflammation.
