Download this low sodium cookbook for free

I did not know that there is a week for salt awareness! Frankly I found out by coincidence. I came across this article about the World Action on Salt & Health organization and then checked their website. The site gives some information on the upcoming World Salt Awareness week (May 21st thru the 28th).

More importanly I found a link on the site to download a low sodium cookbook for free. The cookbook can be very helpful to many as it has various categories of low sodium recipes. Now download the book and start low sodium cooking, at least for the sake of the World Salt Awareness week :-)

Here is the link to the book:

My nutrition facts project is ready!

Just a few days ago I announced here a new, simple search engine project I have been working on. The project is finally ready for your use! It is @ searchnutritionfacts.com.

There are currently nutrition facts of approximately 7,200 fresh foods, food products sold in supermarkets and restaurant meals in my system. I plan to improve the content over time. Especially in regards to restaurant meals there is need to add meals of major food chains such as Olive Garden's, Subway, Quizno's, etc... The system has McDonald's, Wendy's, and Burger King's data, but for now that is pretty much it!

Feel free to use it on your computer or even better smart phone while shopping for foods or dining out! Be aware of the nutrition content of the foods before you eat them!!

Salud!

A new project coming up!

If you are following a diet (any diet; low sodium or not) you would most likely know the importance of checking nutrition facts of foods you buy. Nutrition facts are also known as food labels, nutritional info, nutrients list, etc... In the end they all mean the same thing: A chart that shows how much sodium, fat, carbs, vitamins, etc... a food has.

Well I wanted to create a small search engine where you can search for nutrition facts of any food product or restaurant meal sold mainly in the U.S. The project is up and coming and will soon be published at SearchNutritionFacts.com with thousands of food products searchable at the site.

Hopefully it will be a great tool for you to use while shopping for healthy foods!
