ThirtyOneCranberries

I am Curt Canada, native West Virginian residing in Washington DC, nutrition enthusiast passionate about healthier living, sustainability, an increased plant-based lifestyle, and an advocate for food access and affordability in the marketplace for everyone.

@ThirtyOneCranberries in Washington DC. is a startup global health campaign I started in January 2015 an advocacy and education non profit organization promoting the reduction of salt and sugar in processed foods and in our personal diets.

My passion to start this organization began in late 2015 after receiving an annual checkup revealing a spiked blood pressure and a poor cholesterol reading.

As a 62 year old Afro-American Male, this was disturbing to me after my Doctor mentioned that certain population groups possess already a predisposition for certain illnesses. I was told what could happen if I continued down this path.

I now live a much healthier lifestyle with the adage that "living healthier is eating healthier.

According to CDC, Center for Disease Control, 1 in 3 Adult Americans suffer from High Blood Pressure known as Hypertension. This accounts to 70million Americans and 52% of this group's BP is out of control. Such diagnosis unchecked and monitored lead to increased Stroke and Cardiovascular Disease.

Affordability for all individuals regarding access to healthier food products,especially plant-based foods. i.e. organic, clean, natural, non-GMO.

We can reduce the occurrences of Stroke, Type II Diabetes, Hypertension, and Heart Attack , lower healthcare cost, and increase quality of life!
