HYPERTENSION
¨ The primary contributors to dietary
sodium consumption depend on the
© cultural context and dietary habits of a
population.
Sodium is found naturally in a variety of
foods, such as milk, meat and shellfish.
² It is often found in high amounts in
processed foods such as breads, pro-
cessed meat and snack foods, as well as
in condiments (e.g., soy and fish sauce).
Sodium is also contained in sodium
glutamate, used as a food additive in
many parts of the world.
Salt Reduction
A little salt is essential for health, but
too much can cause high blood pres-
sure and other health issues. Adults
should aim for less than 1 teaspoon of
salt per day.

Impact of UV Rays Good on Skin health?
Small amounts of UV radiation are good for health, but overexposure can harm
the skin and eyes. According to WHO, Skin cancers are caused primarily by expo-
sure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR), either from the sun or from artificial sources
such as sunbeds.Globally in 2020, over 1.5 million cases of skin cancers were
diagnosed and over 120 000 skin cancer-associated deaths were reported.
Worldwide, it is estimated that 15 million people are blind due to cataracts,
some 10% may be due to exposure to UVR. Excessive sun exposure in children
and adolescents contributes to skin cancer in later life.
A certain amount of UV exposure is beneficial to health, in particular for vitamin
D. Simple and effective prevention measures are available. Sun protection is
recommended when the ultraviolet index is 3 and above.
We can’t see or feel the sun’s UV radiation, but we can protect ourselves. Here’s
how:
Seek shade
Wear sun-protective clothing and sunglasses when exposing
yourself in the sun during your day to day activities.
Put on a broad-brimmed hat
Apply sunscreen
Avoid tanning beds
Seek medical advice for severe sunburn or skin/eye changes

CARE
It’s a truism that most of us want to live long, happy, success-
ful, and healthy lives. Unfortunately, in our pursuit of success
we often take shortcuts with our health—and wind up suffer-
ing from various ailments and disabilities that we could have
avoided. It doesn’t have to be that way at all.
