July 8, 2016Global Meals Drivers Care About Seniors
September 6, 2016Low-sodium meals don’t have to lack flavor. Global Meals, a home-delivery meal provider, offers a wide variety of low-sodium meal options, made from scratch, for clients who need to watch their sodium intake. The meals contain 140 mg or less of sodium for each 100 g serving, and still provide plenty of flavor. Our clients don’t even notice that their meals have no added salt. Global Meals low-sodium options are heart-friendly, diabetic-friendly and renal-friendly.
Some sodium is necessary for the body to function. Balancing fluid in the body requires sodium, and nerves and muscles are dependent on sodium as well. However, all senior adults can benefit from a low-sodium lifestyle because with age comes a decrease in kidney function: the kidneys simply slow down the work they do. Excess sodium in the system is difficult for kidneys to remove.
Who Benefits from Low-Sodium Meals
A lowered sodium intake is especially important for anyone with high blood pressure, which is a leading cause of heart disease. People who are diabetic run a higher than average risk of high blood pressure, so the amount of sodium in the diet is critical to a healthy diabetic lifestyle.
You Won’t Miss the Salt
Global Meals offers low-sodium options like chicken florentine, meatloaf with mushroom gravy, vegetable lasagna, and honey mustard chicken. Each week our low-sodium meal plan is served with a loaf of home wheat bread, 7 margarine cups, a quart of juice (can be exchanged for fresh fruits) and half a gallon of milk.
Global Meals serves more than 3,000 adults in Ohio and Indiana with a team of professional and experienced employees in Columbus and Cleveland. Our Comfort Meal Menu also comes in Kosher, Vegetarian and Gluten Free flash-frozen options.
