Scared of Salt? Don't be!

Salt so long has been painted a villain to health – it is blamed for high blood pressure and its complications such as heart disease, stroke and kidney damage. But just as most things in life, take this bit of information with a grain of salt.

Though demonized many a time, salt is not as sinister as you might think. NaCl is a good thing – it is a nutrient essential to human life. Salt helps regulate various bodily processes such as digestion, nerve transmission, and even muscle contraction. And though its name has been dragged into many debates on heart diseases, salt regulates heart contractions – after all, the heart, too, is a muscle.

As an electrolyte, it facilitates osmosis, or the process that involves the transportation of nutrients across cell membranes. Salt helps maintain that critical balance between cells and body fluids.

Too little salt has its own adverse effects as well. Too little of it can lead to dehydration, muscle cramps, dizziness, and water intoxication. And because of its vital role in osmosis, studies have shown that sodium-deficiency can also contribute to the depletion of other minerals the body needs such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and B vitamins.

But life isn’t just a series of bodily processes, is it? When eating, who thinks of food as a bulk of nutrients to be broken down and distributed through the bloodstream?

Food is not meant for sustenance alone, it is meant to be enjoyed. So don’t languish in tastelessness just for the sake of longevity.

Give your body – and your taste buds – a treat with the salt that has the right balance of minerals. PANSALT® is real salt but with 43% less sodium and with the essential minerals potassium and magnesium.

PANSALT® was developed in Finland by health experts after years of extensive research and is ideal for the health-conscious, hypertensives, and stroke patients. It has also been found to improve the therapeutic effects of treatment drugs for high blood pressure and is virtually devoid of the harmful effects of common salt.

Healthy living need not be bland. PANSALT® is available in 50g (50 x 1g sachet) and 450g boxes at leading supermarkets and drugstores. For more information, visit www.pansalt.ph or contact (63-2) 531-4881 / 0917-811-SALT (7258).

Healthy Summer Bodies with PANSALT

 The glorious sunny weather is here once again! Along with the sizzling hot temperature comes the surge of sexy shorts, skimpy bikinis, bare back tank tops and sundresses. Skin is definitely in and good skin looks even more fabulous with a slim and well toned body.

If you wish to parade down the sunny beaches in your sexy attire, then prepare for that hot summer adventure by getting in shape. Make sure you find an activity that you enjoy. Whether it’s yoga, pilates, running or tennis—the key is to engage and participate! Mix up your exercise routine with cardiovascular and weights to burn excess calories and develop well-toned muscles.

For that added summer energy maintain a balanced diet. Eat a selection of carbohydrates and proteins. Vegetables are incredibly energy dense, packed with fiber. For quick weight loss results cut down on rice, bread and pastries.

If you truly want to feel good and stay healthy, avoid foods with high sodium content. The common salt has been proven to be detrimental to one’s health because it causes high blood pressure and complications like strokes, heart attack and kidney damage. Studies by health experts from Europe have even shown a correlation between common salt intake and obesity.

The recent National Nutrition and Health Survey shows that 22 out of 100 Filipino adults have high blood pressure and this can haunt individuals even before they reach the age of 40 years. Among Filipinos from 20-29 years old, almost 4 out of 10 are pre-hypertensive and require a lifestyle change to prevent progression to hypertension. Healthy eaters can still enjoy the savory taste of salt with PANSALT. Rich in essential minerals like magnesium and potassium, PANSALT only contains about 56-57% Sodium Chloride. Its unique patented formula gives the same savory flavor of common salt without its harmful effects. Ideal for home and industrial use, PANSALT can be used for all types of food preparations like baked goods, meat, fish, fast food, snacks, dairy products and many more.

Produced under strict manufacturing procedures similar to the stringent preparation of pharmaceutical products, PANSALT has gained remarkable consumer acceptance in different countries and is even used for cooking by McDonald’s restaurants in Finland.

Ideal for home and industrial use, PANSALT can be used for all types of food product preparations like baked goods, meat, fish, fast food, snacks, dairy products and many more.
