Azmina Govindji: Salt Awareness Week in the UK focuses on men’s health

Azmina Govindji: Salt Awareness Week in the UK focuses on men’s healthIt is a fact that South Asian men are genetically predisposed to heart disease — especially those that have a waist measurement of more than 90 centimetres (36 inches). Further, according to the United Kingdom National Diet and Nutrition Survey of 2010, men tend to eat more salt and less fruits and vegetables compared to women. This places them at even greater risk of dying prematurely from preventable cardiovascular disease.

  1. It’s about time everyone took responsibility for their health, no denominations needed.God created a multidisciplinary body-multiple organ systems, as well as a multidimensional society , so everyone and everything living needs to be considered. None of us are exempt and we all work in unison in society, as does each of our bodies.
    So take responsibilty .
