October 5, 2018 in Kharkov the symposium "Current possibilities in the prevention of non-communicable diseases."
The organizers of the Symposium were made by TH "Ukrainian Association of preventive medicine", national Academy of medical Sciences of Ukraine, Ministry of health, state institution "national Institute of therapy named after L. T. Malaya of NAMS of Ukraine" and others.
Among the speakers was also the director of Cherkassy enterprise "VENDIAN" Alexander Romanenko.
Enterprise "VEND" is the manufacturer of edible salt having a reduced content of sodium trademark SOLENA.
In his speech, Alexander Romanenko touched upon the issues related to the effects of excess consumption of sodium to increase the number of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
The urgency of this problem stems from the fact that Ukraine in terms of mortality from cardiovascular disease ranks first among the 30 major European countries.
Alexander Romanenko pointed to the scale of the disaster, citing the data of Ministry of Health of Ukraine, as well as the ten-year study of 488 scientists from 50 countries, according to which in Ukraine every day from cardiovascular disease associated with excess sodium salt consumption, premature deaths from 2000 to 3000 people per day .
The presentation provides an example of this problem in Finland. There as a result of the implementation of programmes to combat non-communicable diseases "North Karelia"Reduce the average sodium intake of salt with a population of 16 grams to 9 grams per day, which influenced the decrease in CVD mortality in 7 times and an increase in life expectancy to 13 years.
Alexander Romanenko said that contributed to this result, in addition to ongoing activities aimed at informing the public about the problem, change the Finns of common salt in the diet on the salt with low sodium content, enriched with 30% salt Potassium.
Given that 80% of the sodium salt is supplied together with the finished products, and this quantity of salt exceeds the rate of sodium in the diet 2-3 times, the use of salt with low sodium content during cooking becomes necessary for maintaining health.
In Ukraine the salt that is similar to Finnish, today produced by the company "VEND" under the brand name SOLENA. It's salt with a reduced sodium content-enriched 30% with salt of potassium and deficient in nutritional trace elements (such as magnesium, selenium, iodine, zinc, chromium) – today it is available to every citizen of Ukraine.
Using SOLENA salt instead of regular salt will also contribute to the implementation of the approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine July 26, 2018 the National Action Plan on Non-Communicable Diseases in terms of reducing population salt intake by 30%.
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.
