Yesterday, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the health commissioner announced a campaign to cut the quantities of sodium in packaged and restaurant foods by a quarter over five years. New Jersey based NutraSalt (www. nutrasalt. com) applauded Mayor Bloomberg’s effort aimed at helping New Yorkers reduce sodium.
As the Institute of Medicine (IOM), the American Medical Association (AMA), and the American Dietitian Association (ADA) considers a strategy to reduce Sodium in the American diet, the food industry is under pressure to cut products’ Sodium content
A body of evidence has linked excess Sodium in the diet to an increased risk of high blood pressure and stroke. Over three quarters of the Sodium in the average American diet comes from processed foods.
CEO of NutraSalt, Bez Arkush warns that before Americans can get healthier, more education is needed, particularly in relation to sodium. NutraSalt provides an excellent Salty solution with a minimal amount of Sodium and excellent source of natural Potassium combined with great taste.
“With 65 million Americans suffering from high blood pressure, most of us know by now that consuming less Sodium is one of the most important ways in preventing heart disease, high blood pressure and a host of other health related issues. The fact is we do need a small amount of Sodium it in our diets, but in excess it can be very dangerous. NutraSalt provides an easy platform for manufacturers, foodservice providers and consumers at home to substantially reduce their Sodium consumption amount.
“We have managed to create a product that is a game changer in the food industry,” says Arkush. “Now you can enjoy the Salty taste you want with the nutritional benefits you need.”
