Joy of Eating Club: Salt of the Earth
Time: 4:00 – 5:30 pm, EST
Topic: The Salt of the Earth, How Much is Safe to Use
Health experts agree that most people consume too much sodium, and that it has been linked to some health problems, especially an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. One study concluded that salt (the main source of sodium in our foods) is associated with almost 10% of deaths related to cardiovascular disease worldwide. With that in mind, is there room to safely use salt at all? Are there healthier salt-substitutes? How can our food taste good if we cut back or even eliminate table salt? Can we also develop health problems from consuming too little sodium? We will answer these and other questions related to salt based on the Word of God and current research.

This event is to promote a healthy and active lifestyle to university students. It is a type of health ministries because one of the key goals of this event is to educate others about incorporating health principles into their lives. Its purpose is to show others that healthy living can be simple and fun! The Made to Move event will be based on princIples found in the acronym NEWSTART, although an emphasis will be placed on the exercise aspect. The facts that will be presented via social media throughout our event will be taken from scientific sources, connecting science to healthy Christian living. As more students become aware of how easy and fun it can be to live a healthy lifestyle, they can also share their experience with others, creating a ripple effect.

Time: 4:00 – 5:30 pm, EST
Topic: Nutrition Considerations for Vegetarians, Part 2
A vegetarian diet has been associated with a vast array of health benefits, but what makes it so powerful in preventing, managing, or even reversing chronic diseases is not only the elimination of meat and other animal products, but also the plant-based food choices that are made.
