A Global Movement to Solve the Cruel Mystery


 

 

 

Lupus Awareness Month
 
 

Dear Mantis,

All month individuals like you around the world made commitments to expand awareness of lupus and raised critical funds to advance research and enhance education programs. We are inspired by the countless number who participated in a Walk to End Lupus Now® event, Put On Purple, signed up to Make Your Mark™, or shared lupus information on social media. Thank you.

Together, we are making a difference in the lives of all people with lupus! Some highlights from our collective efforts include:

  • Defense Appropriations bill included $5-million for lupus research program, the culmination of more than a decade of Foundation-led efforts.
  • World Lupus Federation established, with 200 global lupus groups collaborating on education, awareness and advocacy.
  • Our KNOW LUPUS campaign reached over 365 million people since this time last year. 

Check out our video to see what you helped make possible!

While Lupus Awareness Month comes to a close, our fight is far from over.

We're excited to continue the momentum by announcing our partnership with other lupus organizations to host the first-ever Lupus Patient-Focused Drug Development Meeting! Your voice can help to shape the drug development process by educating the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about the impact of lupus on daily life and challenges in existing treatments.

Intrigued? Read the full announcement and stay tuned for details.

We couldn't do any of this without the collaboration and support of people like you working in communities across the globe on behalf of people with lupus.

Sincerely, 

Sandra's Signature

Sandra C. Raymond
President and CEO

Health Tips: The Challenge of Eating Less Salt


Health Tip: The Challenge of Eating Less Salt

 

Mayo Clinic
Rochester, Minn.

Hello!

If your doctor or registered dietitian has advised you to cut back on sodium to lower your blood pressure, it's good advice to follow. Even if you haven't been told to reduce sodium, try to moderate the amount you eat each day.

Of course, that's easier said than done. Research shows that reducing salt in your diet is notoriously difficult. Salt makes food taste good, and it acts as a preservative.

Many doctors believe that the real problem isn't overuse of the saltshaker but rather the hidden salt added to processed foods. More than three-fourths of the salt people consume comes from processed and restaurant foods rather than salt added at the table.

The following steps can help you reduce the amount of salt and sodium in your diet:

  • Eat more fresh foods. Fresh meats and produce naturally contain less sodium than do processed foods. Canned vegetables and fruits, as well as smoked or cured meat, such as luncheon meat, bacon, hot dogs sausage and ham contain added salt.
  • Choose lower sodium products. The Nutrition Facts label tells you how much sodium is in each serving. Choose foods that have less than 500 mg of sodium a serving. Look for foods labeled as low salt or low sodium when purchasing processed foods such as soups, broths, and canned vegetables.
  • Limit your use of condiments. Salad dressings, sauces, ketchup, mustard, relish, pickles, olives and other condiments are all high in sodium. Instead, complement your meals with herbs, spices, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, lemon juice, flavoring extracts, vinegar, table wine (not cooking wine), and unsalted versions of ketchup, mustard and barbeque sauce.
  • Don't add salt when cooking. Cook rice, pasta and hot cereals without adding salt. Remove salt from recipes whenever possible. In some recipes, you can use a no-salt product and a regular product. For example, if your recipe calls for 16 ounces of tomato sauce, try using 8 ounces of no-salt-added sauce and 8 ounces of regular sauce.

Limiting sodium intake is challenging — but small changes can bring positive results. As you decrease your salt use gradually, your taste buds will have time to adjust and your preference for sodium will lessen, allowing you to enjoy the taste of the food itself.

For more information on ways to lower salt intake or other considerations related to preventing and managing high blood pressure, check out the book, Mayo Clinic 5 Steps to Controlling High Blood Pressure.

Yours in good health,

The Team from Mayo Clinic
