As Finland's experience shows, mortality from cardiovascular disease in Ukraine can be reduced by about 7-10 times - and it is even without money investments and any costs for medicines and cardio procedures.
In the late 1960s, Finland found that the mortality rate from cardiovascular disease in Finns was eerily high. This fact the Finns declared a national disaster and demanded decisions at the state level, which began to be implemented in the 1970s with the program North Karelia.
At that time, finns, as well as Ukrainians today, saw an excess in the diet of salt several times. This, according to WHO, is one of the leading causes of the epidemic of cardiovascular diseases in the world.
The Finns Rescue Project has contributed to an impressive improvement in public health, thanks in large part to the state-level popularization of a balanced Finnish salt with a 30% reduced sodium content, mineralized Potassium (In Ukraine, such salt is produced and sold in stores as salt SOLENA). Even in Finland's school canteens, suppliers had to reduce salt content in products, and regular salt was also replaced with salt, mineralized potassium.
As a result, the Finns managed to reduce salt intake per day from 15 g to 9-7 g.
Cardiovascular mortality reduced by 7-10 times, and the average life expectancy increased by 13 years - at first in the experimental region, and then throughout the country.
This is a very encouraging result in a situation where cardiovascular diseases have become the main cause of death: prevention really helps, can give a significant improvement in health status and save thousands of Ukrainians' lives every month.
You can learn about how the Finns coped with the problem of cardiovascular diseases from the tsN story. By the way, mineralized salt (with a reduced sodium content by 30%), which is mentioned in the story, can be bought today and in Ukraine - this is SOLENA's domestically produced salt.
Reduce the intake of sodium salt to normal and reduce potassium deficiency in the diet will help salt SOLENA low in sodium (70% sodium salt, 30% potassium salt). Click to see where to buy salt SOLENA.
