Have you noticed that Diabetes is becoming more common? - Would you like to take steps to reduce your chance of becoming diabetic? - The best method of protection is to reduce your salt intake.
Salt intake, when coupled with salt sensitivity, leads to obesity, and obesity is a very common precursor to diabetes (with its attendant possible complications of blindness and the need for limb amputations), as you probably know. - Lose weight by eating less salt! For further explanation, see http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/ (The site does not sell anything and has no banners or ads - just helpful information.)
You may be surprised to learn that reducing salt intake will also lessen your risk of developing cancer! Most cancers have obesity as the biggest contributory factor. (A survey carried out by Cancer Research UK found that most British people do not know there is a strong link between obesity and cancer. Most were aware of a link between obesity and heart disease, but not with cancer. Studies have shown that being overweight increases the risk of cancer of the breast, bowel, womb, kidney and oesophagus. A major study (2003) by the American Cancer Society also associates obesity with stomach cancer and prostate cancer in men, multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and cancers of the cervix, ovary, prostate, liver, and pancreas.)
Do yourself a great favour! - Eat less salt! - See http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/conditions.html for many other health problems you may prevent or ameliorate by reducing your salt/sodium intake.
