A 2-Week Low Sodium Diet: Can I Live On 1 Teaspoon Of Salt Per Day? | Talking Point | Full Episode

[@spanishpropertyconsultants]

If you go one month without absolutely no salt at all you'll appreciate the individual taste of all foods as they are supposed to be eaten

[@cutabove9046]

I'm suffering from heart failure after a major heart attack and keep my sodium under 500 mg a day. I average from 280/310 most days. I've been doing this for five years since my heart attack. This means I eat no salt or anything processed with salt in it including bread. I also stay away from high sodium veggies like beets and celery. It isn't easy, but it is doable. Am I suffering from low salt? Nope. In fact my skin is clear and smooth and many of the wrinkles have disappeared. When I go walking with my neighbor during the summer the small bugs land on him to lick the salt in his sweat, they don't land on me at all. My blood pressure is now normal, my hearing and smell have also improved.

I just had a major heart attack at 43, I’ve been on very low sodium diet for a few weeks. Thankfully I had spent some time learning how to cook and season food. That has helped me cook better food with little to no sodium. Herb marinades with chicken are a life saver. I am watching this video thinking.

​@@jackiecambell7543 I'm also on a renal diet - for me it's low salt, low potassium, low phoshorus, low protein, and honestly, no huge intake of any vitamin/mineral, so very little nutritional yeast if any, etc. I find the Dash brand herb/spice blends helpful,, as well as any store brands the places we shop might carry, and any brand of granulated garlic. We make our own bread, our own tortillas, all unsalted. And while it's extremely bland to others who do eat large amounts of salt, and I admit that I miss soy sauce soooo much, I've gotten used to it. :)

[@fulstaak]

As someone who almost died a few months ago from extreme hypertension, water retention and heart dysfunction I feel very lucky to have the chance to now eat food that I cook myself using the best low/no sodium ingredients. I love to cook with tons of various spices (the kind with no sodium in it) and I feel my dishes have never tasted better. Too much salt is an illusion of good taste. Now when I eat something too salty it really tastes disgusting and cheap. I now follow the guidelines of the DASH diet (against hyper tension) and the objective is to eat less than 1500mg of sodium per day. Not easy given the food industry is completely out of their minds with salt, but very doable when you take time to cook your meals with the right ingredients. I feel like I'm really tasting food now for the first time in a long time and I love it. It really helped my condition get better.

[@daveyfunk]

The secret is making sauces from fresh ingredients. My blood pressure is high and I've been looking at different sauces and spices and vinegars make a difference. You can also use Greek yoghurt as a substitute for cream and coconut milk. Exercise is also important to keep BP in check. I was expecting the video to be a 2 week meal plan, but this was a good video still :)

[@nicholasbolas]

Before I finish this episode ( and I'm going to), you cannot escape salt/sodium without preparing foods yourself.

[@korenwolfster]

Very much that, I’ve reduced to an actual low sodium diet (1000-1500mg / day) and it’s only been achieved by ditching the store sauces, pre-prepared foods and so on. Not tasteless, learn to use your spice and herb rack effectively

[@cjxgraphics]

Every doctor I’ve ever been to, preaches the warnings of adding salt to your food. None have ever mentioned processed or fast food being a problematic source of sodium. I finally started looking at the information for myself, and it was a panic inducing eye-opener.

I have always, cook most of my food, because I enjoy cooking, but I love my fried chicken, but that one I buy from KFC and I eat like 2-4pcs almost everyday, but I am still low blood pressure and low blood sugar.

The moral of the story is when you eat a low salt diet , you have to exercise to take out some salt in your body . But eating no salt is also bad for health too as you exercise . The doctor never say he needs to exercise to reduce the salt intake on his body and a balance diet for high blood pressure is very important . Taking too less salt may increase heart disease .

I have had hypertension, and major bypass and valve surgery, but the primary indicator for me was several bouts with congestive heart failure. This was fluid buildup around my lungs, and made breathing very difficult. This was all the result of eating what I like and not paying attention to the sodium levels in my food. They can drain off the fluid with Lasix, but I have to find a way to eliminate the salt as much as possible and that has been a big challenge for many of the same reasons mentioned in this video. I've had CHF 3 times, and never want to go through that again.

Excellent. First of all I really really appreciated your journey...your honestly about not liking the foods you tried without salt. Amazing your transparency. Honestly too..I'm seeing that Salt substitution is not good either ...especially especially if you have ANY kidney issues. I love that the lady lady said it's better to just enjoy vegetables in their original state. I believe everyone knows that anyway to be truthful. And I loved that you kept going back and having your vital checked with the Dr. I do know we have to have some salt. BUT the VERY BEST WAY, in my opinion, If just to stick with the daily requirement. I think I'm going to do that. Also one lady Dr. Said use lemon 🍋 juice, orange juice, lime juice and garlic. She showed just getting it already minced in a little jar. I do know God made food the very best and only way to eat right. Vegetables and fruits and nuts in their original states. The cooking shows and chef's honestly, have wonderful dishes but truthfully, again. ..only my own opinion, they're evidently not concerned with ppl's health..some of them. They just love to cook. And I don't necessarily believe they are just in it for the money.. don't of them. I just believe they love to cook. And we all like to watch them and even fix their recipes.

The title should be changed to “Is our sugar intake killing us?”. One of the best measures of insulin resistance is if you are salt sensitive. Consuming sugars is associated with insulin resistance, which causes the kidney to retain sodium resulting in high blood pressure (BP). On the other hand, if you reduce or remove sugars and refined carbohydrates in your diet, the decrease in plasma insulin concentration will stimulate sodium excretion by the kidney, resulting in a lower BP. Salt is not the culprit. Sugar is. The two-week low salt diet without lowering his BP indicates that Tai Kannu is metabolically healthy.

Yes, you are correct. I have always like eating salty savoury food, and have no desire to eat anything sweet. I would only take a bite or two to taste any sweets, which toy sister's amazement, she always tells me that I am wasting a cake by taking just a few bites and putting in the fridge to be eaten later on or the next day with few bites again. She would throw my slice of cake away after 5days, because she thinks it's stale and just taking up room in the fridge. I was always low blood pressure all my life even when I'm pregnant so the doctor would tell me to eat food that are high in sodium, but cook salty food my family always said that my cooking is salty to their taste and when pregnant I always crave protein and salty food like friend chicken and stake. I would eat 2- 4 PC's of friend chicken everyday, but I am still low blood pressure. I realized that I used to work so much 14- 16 hrs/day and I was always sweaty so sweat all of the sodium. So me craving so much food high in calories and salty because my body needed it. I would eat two plates full eight times a day and people think I am starving myself. I am also very muscular for a girl and never step foot in the gym. I don't snack though, I just eat a well balanced meal, with mostly protein which could be fried chicken everyday and salad and carbs

5 grams of salt is the maximum amount of salt that the World Health Organization sets forth as the limit to sodium intake, not the recommended amount. The truth is that, unless you are an athlete that excretes a high amount of sodium through sweat, you only need about a quarter of that to handle normal daily bodily functions. This is especially true when taking into consideration how few people meet the actual amount of recommended potassium per day (4700 mg) which acts to counterbalance sodium in carrying out daily body functions.

I just don't like anything sweet, but I have to eat sweet stuff sometimes because my blood sugar levels gets to low

Thanks for the replay everything has been going smooth I’m on PD dialysis but I’ve been managing my diet and my blood pressure is always under control , I definitely always avoid sugar too lol I never actually liked anything sugary so that helped and I’ve been working out , so everything is going great just waiting on a living donor soon 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 gotta keep my chin high and look forward to the future

@@Kaioshin9000 Oh, sorry to hear you are so young. Good for you for trying your best to do what is right. I don't actually workout much, but I used to work so much and I walk everywhere as long it is not more than an hour each way. I didn't know then that walking is so good for you. I saw online 3 and half hour of walking can burn up to 2,000 calories, no wonder I was always hungry and ate so much.

Except if you sre in very hot Florida working outside. Some sslt if you are not a salt crazy person. It helps retain water snd when you are sweating heavily it can be a good thing. Depending on your dirt, physiology and habits.

[@thomasgronek6469]

If one doesn't mind letting the body pull sodium from the bones along with other minerals to keep the system running, sure, you can use less salt. Salt isn't the problem. Carbs and sugar cause water retention, salt is passed right out if one isn't saturated with carbs and sugar.

[@gijose83]

living in a hot climate like Singapore you would actually need salt to stay hydrated!

[@Burevestnik9M730]

So basically, low sodium diet is good if you are young and want to prevent getting high BP. But once you get high BP, it is too late to lower it via low sodium diet for if you try to do that your aldosteron level will increase and your blood pressure will remain as before?

I can live without Salt at all but sugar ain't easy

I’ll always get super thirsty after I ate chicken rice, wanton noodle, just about any nice food you can find from kopitiam.

[@Addy-ology]

That’s probably because of the excessive MSG added. Some chefs use too much MSG- maybe a lazy (also cheap) way to compensate for their lack of cooking skills or to cut cost & time. Haha.

It does brighten the flavor just like salt (unlike herbs).

I've been eating a high salt diet for many years, and I am 23 and have really bad high blood pressure. So even if I have a low salt diet, my body will literally just keep my blood pressure high regardless of how much salt that I am eating?

I was recently diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension and the doctors switched me to a low sodium diet... So far it's such a pain because food does taste very bland. So hopefully I can find ways to add more flavor to my dishes at home. I've tried some herbs and spices, but still can't figure it out.

@@kevinwilson3337 Baking Powder is very high in sodium too. I have to use all-purpose flour for any bread; esp. biscuits. I use flour, heavy cream, club soda and lemon juice to make bread.
