Nino’s Mission

My Thoughts On Sodium

October 26th, 2007

Hello my friend welcome back! Hey Nino it’s great to see you back as well! My friend! How have things been going with you…. since our last meeting? Gee Nino I’ll be totally honest with you I’m still trying to recover, emotionally from our discussion last week! Gee my friend why’s that? Gee Nino I have you forgotton what we talked about last week that was so amazing, that I went home and told all my friends about it as well!

Gee my friend I completely forgot what we talked about last week! Oh No Nino not again… you don’t! Nino your not going to pull that game with me with you pretending to forget, in what we talked about this week! Gee my friend! I’m impressed I can’t fool you like I used to do when we first started, your definitely beginning to know when I’m pulling your leg now!

Well my friend that being said of course I remember… what we talked about last week! My friend as a matter of fact right after our discussion we had in how “Nino’s Mission”, came to life! My friend I can’t begin to tell you how many people e-mailed me…. totally amazed by the story! My friend I actually had some people literally ask me if I was pulling their leg when I stated, that I had absolutely nothing to do with the birth of “Nino’s Mission”!

Gee Nino! What was your response when they said that to you?

Well my friend! I simply told them if they didn’t believe me they were more than free to contact, either Vanessa, Mark, or Tom and they would gladly tell them the exact same thing! Gee Nino I’ll be honest with you when I told my friends the story in how your mission, came to life they didn’t believe either! Well my friend that really dosen’t surprise me one bit, because it’s like I said to you last week! My friend it’s not very common in our society today that you hear, people doing something as amazing as this to help a person today!

Ok my friend! I really think you should get moving to our next topic of discussion today….what do you say?

Gee Nino I totally agree with you! Nino as a matter of fact I brought us a healthly snack today that we can both snack on, if you want while we discuss our next topic! Gee Nino before you ask me what I brought today, let me just say that it’s nothing sugar-free or fat-free! Nino I definitely learned a valuable lesson from you, in both those area’s in my diet! Well my friend! I’m really glad to hear you say that because it’s like I’ve been telling you… since the beginning of my mission! My friend which is simply I’m here to help educate, motivate, and inspire you in certain area’s of your life… that you might need some guidance on!

Ok my friend that being said one more time….. what kind of a healthy snack did you bring today?

Well Nino I’ll tell you right now out of all the snacks that I’ve brought in the past I just have a strong feeling, that your going to want to dig your teeth into some of these! Gee my friend you actually have my mouth watering for some….. what are they?? Ok Nino I won’t keep you in suspense any longer today! Nino I brought us a huge jar of salted peanuts today to snack on, while we discuss our next topic!

Gee my friend that was awfully thoughtful of you to think of me but I’m going to have to pass, on eating these salted peanuts with you today! Gee Nino I would have thought that you of all people who loves to eat “All Natural Peanut Butter” in thier diet, you would be all over these salted peanuts today! My friend your absolutely right I love my ”All Natural Peanut Butter”! Ok Nino so what’s the problem with you eating some salted peanuts with me today!

Ok my friend! Do you really want to know?

Yeah Nino I sure do!

Well my friend as a matter of fact I have no problem with snacking on peanuts at all, actually that’s all I love to snack on! Gee Nino hang on I’m a little confused here but if your telling me that you love to snack on peanuts, then why won’t you have some of these salted peanuts! Ok my friend I guess I have to let the cat… out of the bag! Gee Nino I think that’s a great idea, because your totally losing me here!

Well my friend I certainly don’t want to lose you today…. for this major reason! Well my friend believe or not these salted peanuts that you brought to snack on, are going to be the focus of our next discussion today! Gee Nino hang on here are you telling me that we’re going to be talking about… salted peanuts today? Well my friend we’re not necessarily going to be talking about the peanuts today! My friend however we’re definitely going to be discussing all that sodium, that are in that huge jar of peanuts! 

My friend let me just say before I go any further today! My friend you just keep amazing me how you can help me come up with, our next topic of discussion without you even knowing half the time! Gee Nino it’s like you’ve been telling me God matched us up for that specific reason, so I could help you come up with these imporant topics of discussion that people might need help in today! My friend I’m so glad that your finally realizing how important you are to my mission! My friend it’s like I’ve been saying to you we’re in this mission together, until it is successfully completed for God! 

Ok my friend that being said again! What do you say that we go ahead and jump right in to our next discussion today?

Gee Nino that sounds good to me! Nino I had a strong feeling today that I might be needing my pen and pad again… so I brought it with me! My friend that was really good thinking on your part, because your definitely going to be writing alot of info on sodium today!

Gee Nino aren’t you kind of glad today that I brought this huge jar, of salted peanuts with me today?

My friend absolutely! Well my friend not that I’m going to be snacking on any of these salted peanuts with you today, but I’m definitely going to be giving you my thoughts on all that sodium that your intaking! Gee Nino I think I better fill you in on something before we start, our discussion on sodium today!

Ok my friend go right ahead!

Ok Nino! I have a feeling that your not going to like what I’m about to tell you, but you always tell me that I shouldn’t be afraid to tell you anything! Gee my friend once again I’m glad to hear you say that, because your absolutely right! My friend just remember I’m strictly here to help educate you in certain area’s, that you might need some guidance on in your life today!

Gee Nino I know that by now!

Great my friend! So what do you want to tell me? Well Nino I’ve been having alot of jars of these salted peanuts latley! Ok my friend! How many jars have you been having? Well Nino I’ve been having 2-3 jars a week! Gee my friend that is a ton of sodium that your intaking daily in your diet and that doesn’t even include, the sodium in all of the other foods that your eating throughout your day either! 

Gee Nino I know I guess me having all this sodium in my diet lately, is not such a good thing…. huh! My friend don’t worry this is why we’re having a discussion on sodium today, after which I’m hoping that you will start reducing your daily sodium intake “big time”!

Great Nino I’m ready to go!

Great my friend! Get ready to write down some valuable info on sodium and the unhealthy effects it can have on your body, if you intake to much like you’ve been doing lately!

Ok Nino my pen is full of ink and ready to write!

Ok my friend….. here we go again!

Well my friend! Let me start off today by going back on what I said to you earlier, when I stated that I love to snack on either ”All Natural Peanut Butter or peanuts! Yeah Nino I remember and you actually never answered my question, on why you don’t like to snack on salted peanuts! Gee Nino so what’s the difference between your peanuts and mine? Well my friend I’m glad you asked that because there is one huge major difference, that you’ll find between “my” peanuts and yours!

Would you like to know what that huge difference might be?

Yeah Nino I sure would…. because I’m really confused here!

Ok my friend I’m about to make things a little clearer for you… in what the huge difference is! Well my friend my peanuts and peanut butter are “unsalted” and yours are full of salt! Gee Nino I should have known that salt was the huge difference! My friend that’s ok this is why we’re taking the time today, to discuss all that sodium that your intaking lately in your diet!

Ok my friend! I think this might be a good time for you to start writing down some important info on sodium, because I’m about to tell you what all that sodium is doing to your body! My friend I sincerely hope after I do your going to think twice about continuing to snack, on these salted peanuts that you brought today!

Gee Nino why do I have a strong feeling that me eating these salted peanuts are going to be short lived for me, just like every other snack that I have brought in the past! Well my friend only time will tell!

Ok my friend let’s see if I can convince you once again….. this time around in greatly reducing your daily sodium intake!

Gee Nino your on…. let’s see if you still have it!

Gee my friend! That sure sounds like a challenge to me and you know by now, how I love to be challenged in my life!

Ok my friend! Let’s see if I still have the magic touch to convince you…… shall we!

Ok Nino go for it…. I’m writing and listening!

Ok my friend great!

Well my friend for starters like I said earlier which is by you intaking all that sodium lately, it’s really having an unhealthly effect on your body! My friend did you know that? Gee Nino I had absolutely no idea that all this sodium, could be effecting my body in such an unhealthy way! Well my friend I’m about to shed some light on what what all that sodium, is doing to your body right now as I speak!

Ok my friend! I think you might want to write down these two unhealthy effects I’m about to give you! My friend I have a strong feeling once I do it’s going to be more than enough to convince you today, to start lowering your daily sodium intake! Ok Nino I’m all ears go ahead! Ok my friend first off did you know that all that sodium that your intaking lately, is allowing your body to retain alot of water? Gee Nino it’s funny that you should say that because ever since we had the discussion, on the importance of drinking water I’ve been drinking a ton just like you told me! Gee my friend I’m glad to hear that! Yeah Nino but I’ve also been retaining alot of water, ever since I started intaking all this sodium in my diet!

Gee Nino do you think the reason why I’m retaining so much water lately, is due to all that sodium that I’m having? Well my friend I would have to say that’s a pretty good safe assumption by you! Furthermore my friend by you contining to retain all this water it’s going to be very difficult for your body, to flush out all that fat you’ve been intaking lately by eating all these salted peanuts! Gee Nino I’ll be honest with you I’m actually not starting to like snacking on these salted peanuts anymore! Nino the last thing I want to start happening to me, is to start gaining unecessary bodyfat!

Gee Nino I think I really need to start lowering my sodium intake so I can begin flushing out, all this fat I’ve been having lately….. before that happens! My friend I’m glad to hear you say that but hang on a minute! My friend I still have one more thing to share with you, on what all that sodium is doing to your body lately! Gee Nino I’ll be totally honest with you I think you’ve already convinced me of the fact, to stop having all this sodium in my diet today!

Well my friend I’m really glad to hear that from you but I just want to make sure, that you understand that too much sodium in your diet today is NOT a good thing! Ok Nino go ahead I’m listening! Gee thanks my friend! I promise this last reason I’m about to give you is going to make you want to go home today and rid your pantry, of all those jars of salted peanuts and replace them with my favorite the “unsalted” version!

Ok my friend! Are you ready to hear the most important reason, why you should start lowering your daily sodium intake?

Nino absolutey….. I’m all ears!

Great my friend!

Well my friend did you know all that sodium can cause your blood pressure to sky rocket? Gee Nino that’s funny that you should mention that because I went for a check up a couple days ago, and had my blood pressure taken and my doctor told me that it had significantly increased since my last visit! Gee Nino do you think the major reason why my blood pressure has increased so much, is primarily due to all the sodium that I’ve been intaking lately? My friend I would have to once again agree with you, and say that’s a pretty good safe assumption!

Gee Nino I know that I might sound like a broken record to you once again….. but I have to say it again! Gee my friend and what might that be again? Gee Nino you should know it by heart by now which is simply this! “Nino you definitely haven’t lost your magic touch when it comes to trying to convince anyone from not continuing to follow the road that they’ve been on”! Gee my friend that sure sounds like to me once again that I was able to convince you today, beyond a shadow of a doubt to stop intaking all that sodium!

Gee Nino now I would have to say to you that’s a pretty good safe assumption you just made… because your absoulutley right!! Nino as a matter of fact I’m going to take your advice that you gave me earlier! Gee my friend and what might that be? Gee Nino how could you forget your own advice to “me”? My friend I apologize but we’ve covered so much today, that my brain is on overload! Gee Nino don’t worry about it… I’ll refresh your memory! Gee my friend I would really appreciate that….. thanks! 

Well Nino your advice to me was to go home and rid my pantry of all those jars of salted peanuts, and replace them with your favorite….. the unsalted version! Oh my friend that’s right how could I have forgotton… my own advice! Gee my friend that being said… would you like me to help you to that? Gee Nino that would be great! Nino before we go and do that let me treat you to a fresh jar of….unsalted peanuts! Gee thanks my friend now your speaking my language….. let’s go!!
