'PASS on the SALT'
Are you trying to cut down on salt?
It isn't the easiest thing to do if you are used to adding salt to everything to enhance the flavour. And the fact that many foods come pre-salted often doesn't help. These 'Pass on The Salt' articles sets forth some ways in which you can start your journey to a less salty cuisine and a healthier you. Please contact your dietitian for specific information. These articles are only a guideline.

Flavia Aarden-Kilger
Flavia Aarden-Kilger is a gemmologist and people manager. After working in the jewellery and diamond industry for 15 years, she got into fair trade by chance. Her experience in the jewellery industry has taken her to Asia where she has given jewellery workshops to Tibetan refugees and producers in New Delhi and Nepal so that their jewellery could be sold in thousands of stores in Europe and North America according to western standards. While living in Europe, Flavia has been a frequent speaker at highschools, universities and EU initiatives advocating fair trade. Working for Fair Trade Brokers, which imports fair trade certified food products and fair trade certified fruit juices to Canada, she is heavily involved in spreading the fair trade word. She is also involved in setting fair trade standards for the jewellery industry via the Madison Dialogue. Originally from the Fraser Valley, Flavia now lives outside of Penticton in the Similkameen Valley, located in beautiful British Columbia.
