TOPS group hears about dangers of excess salt use

On Sept. 17, TOPS OH1573 Nashville opened with pledges.

Geneva Pringle was the best weekly loser. She said to eat fruits and vegetables and drink water each day.

Lana Rush was the best weekly KOPS. 

The “Don’t Feed the Shark Contest" continues.

Betty Conner used a prevention pamphlet on the overuse of salt. Too much salt can lead to water retention and swelling, increased blood pressure, and a greater risk for heart attack, stroke and kidney stones. It also can cause thirst, disrupted sleep and stomach cancer. Many prepared foods such as chips, canned food and prepared meats contain large amounts of salt.

The club meets at the Nashville Global Methodist Church on Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m., with weigh-in at 5 p.m. The first meeting is free.
