Summary Of The Skinny On Salt By Jeremy Likeness

When you think of the word "drug" what comes to mind? Probably marijuana, cocaine, lsd, prescriptions but what about bath salts? When I first heard stories about people on bath salts my reaction was you have to be kidding right, but no first popping onto the radar of the DEA and poison control in 2010, this product is causing quite a stir in the United States.

Children from the intervention group went home and educated their parents on what they learned, in which resulted in overall change. I believe the time period before a health transformation can be expected is 3.5 months; the duration of this experiment. The health benefits of decreasing daily salt intake lowered blood pressure, something that is expressed in this experiment. No adverse health effects would be presented because they are lowering the intake of salt. Without a doubt, I agree with the claims presented in the experiment.

The “silent killer” is high blood pressure, or hypertension, a disease that’s responsible for as much as 25 percent of end stage kidney failure, and has no noticeable symptoms. Too much salt can raise one’s blood pressure. African Americans’ blood pressure is very reactive to salt because their African ancestors weren't fed or given much water, if any, to drink when they were taken to America against their will by slave traders. This resulted in a very high death rate on the ships, so those who had a natural propensity to retain high levels of salt, maintaining enough water to avoid deadly dehydration, had a better chance to survive. This ability, along with a modern salt-filled diet, leads to increased rates of hypertension.

It's an essential mineral that the human body needs to survive. She says that “we’re hardwired to crave salt to ensure we get enough of it” (Nosrat 20). Nosrat continues to build and develop her ideas based on that concept. Nosrat explains through evidence that salt is not just a mineral, but it is also “an essential nutrient” (Nosrat 46). She explains and describes the different experiences, the growth that she went through to get to that point of mastering salt. Nosrat answers a basic question in this chapter “what is salt?” She tells us why salt is so important that we need to “use salt better” (Nosrat

Learn how to prevent high cholesterol and know what your cholesterol levels actually mean. A good time to get your blood cholesterol checked and take steps to lower it if your levels are elevated is in September because it is National Cholesterol Education Month.

To our surprise, many people do not know that their cholesterol levels are high given that having high cholesterol generally doesn’t have any symptoms. However, doctors can administer a simple blood test called a lipoprotein profile to check your cholesterol levels. A lipoprotein profile can measure your total cholesterol levels, including LDL (low-density lipoprotein, or "bad" cholesterol), HDL (high-density lipoprotein, or "good" cholesterol), and triglycerides (NECP). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2013), “high cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease which is currently the leading cause of death in the United States.” Preventive recommendations for cholesterol screening among young adults vary, but most experts agree on the need to screen young adults who have other risk factors for heart disease or stroke
