Salt at the Table: A Common Restaurant Habit That Could Harm Your Arteries

Americans eat out multiple times weekly, and restaurant meals generally contain more sodium than home-cooked ones. This extra salt raises blood pressure and can stiffen arteries over time, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke and kidney problems. Reducing sodium intake can quickly improve blood pressure (within days) and arterial function (weeks to months). To support heart health, use herbs and spices instead of salt and consider dining out less often, since many sauces and condiments also contribute to high sodium intake.

"Menu Anxiety: Gen Z and Millennials Scale Back on Eating Out, Too Nervous to Order"

Gen Z, who have experienced social anxiety due to COVID and lockdowns, are now facing "menu anxiety" when eating out. A study conducted by Prezzo found that 34% of 18 to 24 year olds ask others to speak to waiters on their behalf because they are too nervous to talk. Younger diners also prefer to check the menu before going out, with almost 40% saying they wouldn't go out for dinner if they couldn't check the menu first. Inflation and the fear of high bills are also contributing to Gen Z's hesitation to eat out, with nearly a third of 16 to 24 year olds expressing nervousness about the cost. As a result, many Gen Zers are spending more time cooking at home and cutting down on dining out.
