Hello, my health-conscious compadres! If you’re anything like me, you’ve been perusing the World Health Assembly updates with a cup of herbal tea and a sense of staunch determination. I mean, who wouldn’t? Nothing screams ‘living on the edge’ quite like diving deep into international health directives, am I right?

But in all seriousness, the Seventy-eighth World Health Assembly’s daily update on May 20, 2025, had a headline that caught my eye. It was all about sugar and salt, two condiments that, let’s be honest, make everything taste better but also serve as hidden barriers to weight loss.

Like the sneaky ninjas they are, sugar and salt love to hide in our food, wreaking havoc on our bodies and goals, whilst we remain blissfully unaware. It’s a plot worthy of a Hollywood thriller, but unfortunately, this is our reality, not a blockbuster movie.

Did you know, for instance, that the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting our intake of sugars to less than 10% of our total energy intake? For salt, it’s less than 5 grams per day. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “But I don’t add sugar to my veggies, nor do I pour salt into my morning smoothie.” That’s where the plot thickens!

Processed foods are the real culprits here. They are often loaded with hidden sugars and salts – even the ones that claim to be ‘healthy’. Even your favorite ‘low-fat’ yogurt could be a sugar-loaded imposter. And don’t get me started on canned soups, microwave meals, or even certain brands of bread.

So, how can we unveil these hidden villains? The answer is simple: tracking our food.

By diligently logging what we consume, we can uncover the true composition of our meals. It might seem tedious initially, but trust me, the insight you gain is worth every minute spent. You’ll be armed with the knowledge of what’s truly going into your body, and you’ll be empowered to make healthier choices – and that’s a superpower worth having!

Now, before you panic about having to track every single bite, let me introduce you to a friend of mine: SimpleFitness.ai. And no, it’s not the latest terminator model designed to eliminate unhealthy foods (although wouldn’t that be awesome?). It’s actually a handy little helper designed to make tracking your nutrition, sleep, workouts, and habits a breeze.

Don’t worry, it’s not a drill sergeant. More like a wise, friendly companion on your health journey. It’s designed to provide tailor-made insights, making it easier for you to meet your health goals – whether it’s losing weight, sleeping better, reducing stress, or becoming the next internet fitness sensation (we all have dreams, right?).

So, armed with knowledge from the WHO, the power of awareness, and a pinch of humor, we can take on the sugar and salt ninjas lurking in our food.

Remember, it’s not about being perfect; it’s about making better, informed choices one day at a time. Even small changes can add up to significant results.
