You Are 56% Bipolar You're a bit moody, and at times, your moods can be a bit extreme. It's up to you to decide if you're simply dramatic... or slightly bipolar. Are You Bipolar?

When it is almost done I take my portion and then just add the required saltiness. Gasp! And from the Foodnavigator - Global salt intake is still too high, according to a leading academic, and many countries ignore the WHO's advice on a maximum intake of 5g/day by issuing guidance far in excess. Excess salt intake is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease by raising blood pressure - the main cause of strokes and a major cause of heart attacks. In addition, a high salt diet has been connected to other adverse effects and diseases, such as osteoporosis, cancer of the stomach, asthma and obesity. Professor Franco Cappuccio of the University of Warwick Medical School, UK, recently presented a report on reducing salt intake in world populations to the World Health Organisation. During t
