Many processed and restaurant foods are loaded with sodium—even when they don’t taste salty. The average American eats over 3,400 mg of sodium per day, which is more than 50% above the recommended limit of 2,300 mg by the American Heart Association.

⚠️ Here’s what excess sodium can trigger:

• High Blood Pressure (Hypertension): Strains the heart and arteries.

• Stroke & Heart Disease: Long-term effects of pressure overload.

• Kidney Disease: Sodium makes kidneys work harder.

• Stomach Cancer: High salt intake has been linked to increased risk.

• Bone Loss: Sodium depletes calcium, raising osteoporosis risk.

Afro-Caribbean and African-American communities are particularly vulnerable. According to the CDC, African Americans are 40% more likely to have high blood pressure compared to non-Hispanic whites. Cultural dishes, while rich in heritage and flavor, can carry hidden sodium—adding to the health disparity.

🔹 Read labels – Choose foods with less than 140mg sodium per serving.
🔹 Cook more at home – You control the seasoning.
🔹 Choose better seasonings – Flavor doesn’t need to come from salt.

That’s where we come in.
