Go against the grain.
Cut down on salt.
Adding salt to your food
could subtract years from
your life. Because in some
people salt contributes to
high blood pressure, a con-
dition that increases your
risk of heart disease.

The International Federation

already booked its world congress
with 12,000 participants for Sep-
tember 2000.
A number of major milestones
between now and the end of the
century are helping to boost book-
ings: 1997 will mark the 100th an-
niversary of the first Zionist
Congress in Basel and there are
a number of related events sched-
uled; 1998 will be the 50th an-
niversary of the establishment of
the State of Israel; and the year
2000 will mark the second mil-
lennium since the birth of Jesus.
In anticipation of continuing
growth, a new $35 million North
Wing, set to be completed in 1998,
is about to be built as a gift to
Jerusalem from ICC Jerusalem
for the 50th anniversary of the
State of Israel. The new wing will
include a business center, press
center, 53,800 sq. ft. of additional
exhibition space, banks and
restaurants.
