Sodium in Your Diet

I saw a feature on the news tonight about the importance of sodium in your diet, and limiting your daily intake to under 2,400mg. A certain restaurant to remain unnamed has been pushing their "healthy" meals for a long time - they even have their own weight loss competition! But they recently announced they were going to START reducing their sodium levels. One "meal" option even contained the entire daily amount of sodium! Seeing the demonstration on the long term affects high levels of sodium in your diet has really changed my perspective. Reducing sodium intake by 1tsp. per day can have the same health benefits as an individual who quits smoking. I used to think it was just related to water retention. I was wrong.

Today's bowl contained a serving of Fish and Chicken, spiced up with Cayenne, Crushed Red Pepper, GG Peppers, and Jalapenos with crunchy celery, steamed broccoli, and two servings of garlic water. I added a little extra spice: Asian Chili sauce, just a tablespoon in the ramekin with garlic water. This very FILLING bowl came to a total of only 286.66 calories, 41.85g protein, 17.5g carbs, 5.5g fat, 3.5g sat. fat, 120mg cholesterol, and 680mg sodium.

I panicked when my bowl was delivered to my seat - I forgot my phone at home! Brooke, my favorite Genghis Grill Warrior, was gracious enough to let me use her cell phone to grab a picture of my masterpiece meal. Disaster avoided!

I spoke with customers tonight who noticed some of my marketing material and wanted to know how they could participate in the next Health Kwest. I told them to follow Genghis Grill on Facebook and Twitter for any updates or announcements.
