5. Canned Foods, Soups & Frozen Items

A packed of canned pasta, soup, canned spaghetti and countless other frozen food dinners, which sound seemingly healthy, may appear convenient and easy. But truth be told, they are nothing except heaps of sodium used to enhance the taste and make these processed foods appear fresh and aromatic.

Several studies have pointed out the use of canned soup as a widely prevalent unhealthy habit, for one can of canned chicken soup packs up more than 1,100mg of sodium, a shockingly dangerous amount. Furthermore, other canned soup varieties, such as tomato soup or clam chowder soup, contain around 450-800mg sodium in every serving.

Research examining the causes of heart strokes and ailments reveals that devouring more than 1500mg every day is highly unhealthy for the heart. Over the last two decades, heart specialists, nutritionists and medical associations have carried out several campaigns and calls to address food companies over the health-hazardous amount of salt added to canned soup and frozen food varieties.

Why is it Unhealthy?

Salt, which is referred to as sodium in the ingredients section on food labels, has been directly associated with increasing the risk for heart strokes. A recent study that examined patients with unhealthy sodium intakes revealed that individuals who devoured more than 4,000mg sodium every day had twice as greater risk of developing a heart stroke as opposed to those consumed 2,000mg sodium or even less.

Statistics reveal that most Americans have a habit of eating nearly 3,500mg of sodium every day, and we have tons of research to validate the claim that sodium is one of the principal causative factors that lead to strokes and heightened blood pressure levels. It’s really hard to control one’s sodium intake because sodium-packed products come in such beguiling disguises, and it’s really hard to tell that a seemingly healthy product is actually brimming in salt. The worst and trickiest factor is the fact that most of these sodium-rich products don’t even taste salty.

Here, take a look at some everyday products that actually disguised salts:

  • Baking Powder
  • Sodium Alginate
  • Baking Soda
  • Disodium Phosphate
  • Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)

How can you fix it?

Why not make your own homemade variety of nutrient-rich frozen foods, and soups? You can always freeze whatever quantity you need ahead of the week, and then heat it up every time you feel the need to devour it. Also, it is important that you carefully read all the food labels before buying them. You can always invest in low-sodium canned food varieties, but beware that most of these products have turned out to be a hoax.

    • You are such an ass kisser Aaron. PETA must love ass kissers like you. Does all that cock you suck contain red meat?? Think about it.

  1. Es un extraordinario artículo, extremadamente verdadero, nosotros no consumimos carne de ningún tipo, solo vegetales y frutas, nada de coca cola, ningún tipo de sodas, consumimos agua de botellón, tan bien amargo serrano a base de hierbas con agua, gracias a Dios nos mantenemos super sanos. Todos los animales están enfermos con tumores y algo mas, los faenan y nosotros nos los comemos, todos nosotros debemos velar por nosotros mismos. Gracias desde ARGENTINA

  2. I am very much interested in eating red meat now by reading this article I am shocked it’s time to reduce red meat intake thank you for posting this article…

  3. The idea that red meat can kill you is a lot of BS. Throughout the course of man’s evolution the one constant has been meat consumption. In fact humans were taller and our brains were bigger until we introduced agriculture. This article is a load of rubbish.

  4. Red meats are high in proteins that actually keep rbc up and other meats too keep blood thinner. Good in moderate amounts. Otherwise take blood at drs appt and eat any meat with sides of low fat and see for self. Blood is not thick and is thinner

  5. You mentioned brain and heart . But the article is all about heart. There is no mention of effect on brain.

  6. The title of the article was ‘5 foods that can trigger a stroke’… You then went on to discuss diet soda…. What happened to the other four ?

  7. C’mon. Diet soda? Was it taken into account that many people who drink diet sodas are overweight and don’t eat healthy? And the suggestion to replace with drinking beverages high in sugar such as fruit juices, smoothies and lemonade?

  8. Be it red meat , veg or other,For me food is for thought and health. Eat food with urge and taste.squeeze and Splash fresh lemon juice on fried foods sprinkle pepper . Have it with chopped onions ,mint ,coriander leaves. Grilled food is super . No need oil because the meat is having own oil . Exercise often and keep mind spiritually active.

  9. ok having blood clotts in my lungs any soda diet, or not can thicken your blood from my experience !
    the only way i was able to get rid of them clotts was drinking water and ,mostley only water I really didnt feel lung pain that was connected to what I ate . at least none that I noticed .

  10. Would like to be able to read the whole of this post but for me only item one has come through on this. Could you tell me what are the four other items are mentioned.

    THANKS 🙂
