Up to 70% of the salt we eat is hidden in processed and packaged foods - such as sauces, canned food, cured meat, breads - not just the salt we add to our meals.

Choosing fresh, minimally processed foods can help reduce your salt intake and protect your heart.

The Nipah Virus is something we need to watch out for. Here is your "Healthy Hero" Checklist to stay safe:

🍎 Wash your fruit: Always wash fruits thoroughly before eating.

🚫 Don't share snacks with animals: Avoid fruits that look like they've been bitten by bats or birds.

🧼 Soap is your sidekick: Wash your hands frequently with soap and water!

🤒 Feeling sick? Tell your parents or come see me at the clinic if you feel a fever or headache coming on.
