The division of mental qualities into healthy and unhealthy states helps us to see the true causes of our unhappiness and our suffering very clearly.

When healthy factors are present, unhealthy ones are not.
So, when we foster and nurture healthy states, unhealthy states will disappear.

The Silent Sodium

People may exceed their daily needs of sodium due to the high consumption of processed and canned foods.
Over consumption of sodium can lead to high blood pressure in some individuals, thus raising their risk for heart disease.

This can be met and managed by replacing the processed and canned foods with fresh cooked foods with minimal added salt.
