La dieta Mediterranea si basa soprattutto sul consumo di prodotti vegetali freschi il cui contenuto di sale è molto basso. Limitiamo quindi il consumo di formaggi stagionati e di insaccati, così come di carne, pesce e altri alimenti in scatola contenenti sale aggiunto! @WASHSALT

Did you know? 70% of our salt intake hides in processed foods and restaurant dishes, doubling WHO's recommendations. By cutting down, we lower heart disease risks and save lives. Let's aim for healthier choices.#SaltAwarenessWeek

🧂🧂🧂❗ Današnji #SaltAwarenessWeek podsjetnik—smanjenje #unosa soli može značajno smanjiti rizik od #KVB, vodeći uzrok smrti u našoj regiji.
Bez politika usmjerenih na unos soli, ljudi neće moći efikasno zaštititi svoje zdravlje.
Izaberimo zdraviju budućnost!
