High dietary intakes of salt can lead to high blood
pressure… High salt intake impacts the body and your health in many ways and is
linked to conditions other than high blood pressure such as: heart
failure/heart attack, kidney problems and kidney stones, oedema (fluid
retention), stroke, left ventricular hypertrophy (thickening of heart muscle), and
osteoporosis.

There is mounting evidence to suggest what Hun Sen has done to
Cambodia may come to an end soon.
First, the government offers only poor excuses why Hun Sen has since
26 July cancelled the weekly meeting of the Council of Ministers. It claims there
is nothing to discuss, which is very conceited of the government to ignore lingering
issues, like land disputes, workers welfare, possible loss of EBA concessions,
Chinese running amok in Sihanoukville, reduction of water level in the Mekong
and Tonle Sap, etc.
It also says some ministers are out in provinces. For instance, Public
Works Minister Sun Chanthol is preoccupied with riding a bicycle in countryside
to evaluate road conditions; Agriculture Minister Veng Sakhon is busy with assessing
droughts on location. These missions must be so crucial to autocrat Hun Sen that
he cancels the meetings on their account.
Second, there must be something serious happening to silence the
man who enjoys bashing and ridiculing political opponents with his foul mouth
in public addresses. Now in his place, others like Sar Kheng and Tea Banh are running
around the country responding to the opposition’s persistent calls for popular
revolts. Why would an autocrat like Hun Sen share limelight with their junior ministers?
Only an anonymous source in Hun Sen’s inner circle reveals a
reason for his absence. Hun Sen’s hypertension and high cholesterol have
deteriorated to the extent that his doctors in Singapore give him no option
other than being hospitalised there for treatments. The source claims his regular
diet includes his favourite prahok; this salty fish paste can explain his
hypertension and other possible incapacitated medical conditions.
Another well-known factor that can exacerbate hypertension is
stress. Given fierce crackdowns on whoever dares do anything Hun Sen considers
to be against him, it must be stressful to be ready to squash every single one
that has emerged. The source confirms the stress and anxiety have stricken him since
his conviction that he would lose a proper election. The latest announcement of
Sam Rainsy’s return to Cambodia on 9 November – whether he will or not – may
just suffice to send any severe hypertension sufferer to an early grave. The
news cannot be a relief for Hun Sen.
Anyway, it is so ironic that Hun Sen uses his favourite prahok
to justify his brand of democracy. He says his democracy must be different from
that of the West as Cambodians eat prahok, while the latter hamburger. Just
like his prahok indulgence that damages his personal health, his democracy now
puts his regime in hot water with EU and USA. A loss of EBA concessions, which
may lead to popular revolts, becomes so real that it only adds stress and
anxiety onto Hun Sen, despite China’s support. He cannot draw much comfort from
forthcoming USA sanctions that will hit his top elite’s wealth and family
connections in the US.
However, there might be a second miracle on the Mekong Hun Sen
can pray for, if he remains calm enough.

Funny News You Can Use
There are so many generals in Hun Sen’s armed forces that the
strongman can have them lined up in formation like enlisted men.
The interesting questions are: how many of these generals are in
torpor? How do they feel being treated like the enlisted? Or are they just in
hibernation waiting for the sun to shine on the corrupt land so that they can have
their pride back?
Perhaps only Hun Sen’s opponents who have prepared a strategic plan
to invigorate them could answer these questions with some degree of certainty. Who
are these worthy opponents, though?
