Health Tip--Eating food with a lot of salt, while sometimes tasty, can dramatically increase the sodium in your diet, which in turn can raise your blood pressure and increase your risk for heart attack and stroke.The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute offers the following suggestions to lower the amount of sodium in your diet:
• Choose fresh, lean meats, poultry, and fish instead of processed versions.
• Skip the salt and use fresh herbs, spices, and low- or no-salt seasonings.
• Stick to fresh or frozen vegetables instead of canned. If you do choose canned, look for "no salt added" versions, or rinse vegetables before use.
• Don't add salt to the water when cooking rice or pasta. Also, avoid instant versions of these foods.
• Stay away from pre-packaged foods that are often high in sodium, such as frozen meals, pizzas, canned soups and foods, and packed food mixes.
Some people may have different dietary needs so please consult your doctor for advice before making major changes to your diet.

As always, I appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you. Please do not hesitate to contact me or my staff if you have any questions or concerns. Our district office number is (561) 470-6593.

All the best, Kelly Skidmore, State Representative, District 90
