So I have a question: what causes my ankles to swell? My cardiologist says it’s the salt in my diet.

[@jellybeanvinkler4878]

@@lnwmelon I have had the same problem, and the same response from my Dr. But I think it is more of a lack of balance of all the necessary electrolytes, not simply too much salt.. I take supplemental magnesium, plus I started using a pinch of No salt (potassium)in my prepared food, as well as salt. The problem never came back. This also helps with leg cramps, which I get if I go into ketosis, and my electrolytes are imbalanced.

[@darrylmcleman6456]

One doctor who posts on KZbin suggested that we need salt to produce stomach acid.Low stomach acid and valve in stomach does not close resulting in heartburn.I had heartburn every night for 40 or more years and took 3-4 Tums a night.I started taking pinch of salt with small sip of water at night and no more heartburn.

He is true genius. I went to doctor with high blood pressure in UK where you know they kind of know everything but backwards. Doctor told me to eat less salt, stop carnivore/keto diet, the pressure should be measured with arm relaxed down on table or even better hang down on the side of the body, when asked should I loose some weight answer was no it doesn't matter. I did everything exactly opposite what she said for 2 months and voila 120/70 from 183/110 😂. They were calling me all the time to stop what I was doing. First of all the kind of meter I explained to her I was using was put on the wrist, which only measure right when arm is upright on the level of the heart. This allone lowered pressure to 138/80. Then just continued high salt carnivore/ keto mixed diet. Lost deliberatelly 15kg in 3 weeks, lowering pressure to 123/70. Started to exercise 5 times a week for the rest of my life as totaly reconfigure my life. I know those doctors never actually fixed disise I have had apart from shingles which stop on their own after 2 weeks 😂. Living here, you need to be as healthy as possible as they never know what is wrong with you, especialy with cancer.

This is interesting... I've had high blood pressure since I was a skinny 19 year old... I'm not 54 and still taking blood pressure meds. I've heard my entire life that I need to limit salt-- yet the only time I've ever had normal blood pressure without medicine was the 1 time I did a high fat/protein diet. I likely ate more salt-- on this diet and my BP normalized. I did lose weight but don't think that was related to normalizing my BP-- since I started out with high BP when I was skinny...

Low serum sodium levels is actually a very dangerous condition. Earlier this year when I had diverticulitis and I wasn’t eating much food and drinking a lot of fluids, my sodium level got so low that I had to go to the emergency room and the doctor told me that if it went any lower I would’ve died. That day I stopped and got some pizza which is high in sodium and had it. The next day I went in for a follow up blood draw and my sodium level was back to normal and I felt better.

[@zholud]

Salt washes away calcium from the body (and there is a scientific study that confirms that), so many think eating salt is bad. But doesn’t salt give bones firmness? Isn’t there the same controversy here - if I eat less salt I’ll save 1% calcium a year in my bones, but they will become super fragile and break more easily?

It is not clear how the "salt intake" is measured in the various studies. Is it the blood work datum? Or is it the declared consumption of salt? It's easy to understand how can people with a higher salt consumption live longer: they cook at home and they "know" how much salt they use. The other people, the ones who consume less salt, or so they think, maybe eat more processed food or eat more often at the restaurant or at the canteen. They don't use the salt as an ingredient by they "intake" it probably more than the other guys. People who don't cook at home have maybe more cardiac events, and higher pressure, but don't really know how much salt they eat. In the other study, the one which is explicitly driven on urinary salt, we don't know how the sample was built: people who exercise has a higher salts consumption in general (including table salt) but their lower cardiovascular risk could be attributed to exercising, not to taking more salt. All those studies create more questions than they give answers.

[@juligrlee556]

Should we all be using Spirolactone for our blood pressure issues? I'm confused.

[@johnnyly81]

Hey doc, can you look into the gluten intolerance issue? I have this feeling that the inability to not consume glutenin and gliadin are the symptoms and not the cause. Wheat bread has been consumed for centuries without issue. I'm just throwing out a hypothesis here but I think the wheat being grown today has some kind of property that disrupts digestion. FYI you seem to be one of the only doctors that actually questions the science.

[@JezaGaia]

I know this is old but in case someone else wonders : you're right that humans have consumed bread for centuries or more without problem but it wasn't the same wheat that we're using now and not the same amount of gluten inside it. I don't remember exactly the dates etc but to sum it up to help reduce starvation an experiment was made to cross breed different types of wheat so it would produce more, be smaller in hight so less damaged by the wind etc and easier to collect and also raise gluten in it because it makes it easier to work with for bakers etc (more elastic) Problem is wheat apparently is highly unstable when it mutates and by artificially cross breeding it they got it to mutate a lot, there is much more DNA in the new wheat than there was in the old one and part of it is 100% unknown to this day. The gluten protein also got drastically changed it became much bigger to the point where our digestive system cannot break it down to digest it so it goes intact into ther intestine and damages it.

[@zelenplav1701]

So basically you're saying that a lowered sodium intake leads to a reduced blood pressure, however the body wants to reach homeostasis (since BP was altered from the decrease in sodium intake) and therefore increases serum renin and aldosterone to supraphysiological levels, where it may cause a higher BP than normal, and thus an increased risk of developing CAD?

[@MyChannel-j3r]

Yes. Lowering sodium intake has other consequences. One is lower blood pressure. Another is higher renin and aldosterone.

[@NZPikachu]

Jason Fung Thank you for the prompt response. As a new physiology and biomedical sciences graduate, I found this lecture, and your aetiology of diabesity lectures very understandable and it just seems to make sense as a whole. The problem nowadays is the idea of dietary fat intake leading to obesity and other associated diseases is so deeply ingrained in modern day society. I look at my previous lecturers that taught cardiovascular physiology no less and they aren't particularly in shape - maybe this is a poor argument against them, but at the same time, they taught that dietary fat was bad for health - a reflection of their lack of research in this complex subject perhaps. I'm also finding that the majority of other science graduates or students seem to just accept what "higher authority" tell them, or even just by looking results of journal articles with many citations. I guess I'm a bit jaded now with my opinions, but many people really just don't think for themselves any more. I wish you all the best regarding the sharing of this information. One day I hope to teach physiology and basic nutrition, and I will do my best to contribute in this direction. Thanks :)

[@MyChannel-j3r]

NZPikachu Always listen to your common sense. I mean, if salt is as bad as they say, why do the Japanese with the highest salt consumption in the world by fat, have such a low mortality? If it doesn't make sense, dig deeper. Here's another. How is it that the saturated fats (animal fats, coconut oil) that we have eaten for hundreds of thousands of years be dangerous to us when purely artificial, highly processed modern corn oil is healthy? If animal fats were bad for us, wouldn't they have killed us already? This is just like the 1960's when we thought we could make a more nutritious infant formula than Mother Nature (breast milk). Unlikely. How can we be exercising more and more, as evidenced by epidemiological data, and still be getting fatter and fatter? Isn't exercise supposed to cure obesity? Or how about green coffee or raspberry ketones or acai berries or the latest wonder food. How likely is it that after 10,000 years of accumulated human wisdom, we suddenly in the year 2014 AD discover the miracle cure for everything? We somehow missed this miracle cure for the other 9,999 other years? Unlikely

[@strictnonconformist7369]

The ones that are published are the ones they decided to publish to push a narrative instead of just publishing what was actually found.

[@htlaw8493]

Thanks!

[@jasonvass1908]

Today's 9 ,29 there a study that come out to say when u fast u loose muscle...I think intermittent fasting is catching on your great work is getting rewarded .and there trying to squash the notion about intermittent fasting ..

[@TheGlowingOnee]

I fast for 20 hours every day and weight lift and I can assure you that they’re lying, complete bullshit. Lol

[@LTPottenger]

You lose muscle every time you lose weight, but in studies it is 25% for regular dieting and 10% for fasting. And 0% for IF. And you gain muscle when you alternate day fast.

[@qrcodeau]

Do you have a plan for us who can not come to your clinic.

[@MyChannel-j3r]

[@blancairisrobles4373]

So what is the solution for someone who has constant high blood pressure and under medication?

[@stilladreamer1]

You can try intermittent fasting, and maybe lowering carbs slowly and see if it helps.

[@willegg8436]

Am on blood pressure tablets dr flung

[@crazycool1128]

11:41 even a high schooler knows better than to draw that line...

[@milliehandshrimp]

Do we know that the low salt diet people aren't on a low salt diet because they have poor cardiovascular health, and are trying to avoid salt?

[@LTPottenger]

Because they look at people from tribal societies not elderly americans

[@virgoblue1392]

Electrolytes

[@vanabhilash]

If we can lower the systolic marker, to a critical level, by holistically restricting salt, and in conjugation compensate for the increase in adolsterone and/or adrenaline by administering ace inhibitors and beta blockers respectively, then what else could be a better bet?

[@LTPottenger]

If you reduce your insulin your blood pressure will go down. Insuline forces the kidney to retain sodium and this is the root cause of most high blood pressure. When you take beta blockers you are on the road to t2 diabetes even with a good diet, and on average will be dead within a decade after you get there.

[@dougmcfarlane]

So the real question is . . . how do you actually lower your BP?!

[@psylee8687]

Fasting, proper supplementation.

[@kenstephens7747]

Lower your insulin, that's what's really behind hypertension.

[@Michael_00001]

[@kenstephens7747]

The main culprit with high blood pressure is high insulin levels, which most people suffer from these days, and this is actually a more serious disease than just high blood pressure, it is behind all metabolic conditions.

[@1Noack]

I am 64 years old and have been dealing with HBP (typically 150/90) nearly all of my adult life, after 3 days on the water-only fast my BP has gone down to normal levels in the range of 117-125 over 75-85. This story NEEDS telling, too many people needlessly at risk using hypertension drugs that for the most part are being taken needlessly!

[@richardmiddleton7770]

They're just blaming salt for the mess the cheese burger and pizza left behind!

[@shyamalaratnayeke8757]

The text on the slides is illegible, which makes it hard to evaluate Jason Fung's interpretation of the data. Some of us don't take what we are told for granted.

[@LTPottenger]

go read the study then

[@Bfedup]

@morgaine...AMEN

[@annalexander6042]

I never smoked dr flung

[@ipaintkitchencabinets2069]

I feel better without salt so this info does not apply to everyone. I do Keto/Omad with very low sodium and I feel much better .

[@Debbie-rp1pi]

The stomach makes stomach acid with sodium chloride. The blood needs sodium as do the cells. Sodium is an electrolyte meaning needed for electrical functions in the body. Without sodium in the body you die 😳😳😳

[@cutabove9046]

Fung misses the point on sodium. The reality is that since other than the four populations mentioned everyone else in the world eats too much salt. And therefore trying to compare these groups makes no sense. Once you get past a certain threshold of sodium bad health follows. It's like cigarette smoking. Are you going to find a big difference if one group smokes four pack a day another smokes three packs? The answer is no. At that point the negative health benefits will depend on how resistance a particular group is to smoking. Certain groups will have a genetic predisposition to bad health at lower levels of smoking and another group will have greater resistance to the negative effects. It's the same with any poison. Once past a certain threshold of poison intake like arsenic you'll die. Some people more resistant will take longer to die from a certain level of poison intake than another group. That's the way salt works. With some people it will take longer to show up a negative health consequence. The fact that 72 to 83 percent (depending on which study you want to believe) of Americans over the age of 65 have high blood pressure, it would seem that the vast majority of people suffer negative consequences of their sodium intake.

[@user-ix9lx4sp1z]

Your logic is so flawed, it's ridiculous

[@Kie-7077]

7:30 Chart shows dozens of publications, only 2 of the publications cause any chance of publication bias, the people who did the meta study decided two eliminate those two studys. Fung's comment is a highly unscientific "because...I don't know why they did it.. this is stupid". This is also disingenuous because the authors of the meta-study highly likely stated why they remove two out many publications from the funnel plot.

[@CScott-wh5yk]

Are you familiar with the central limit theorem from statistics? This is precisely why those studies should not have been removed.

[@nadjarodagaso4512]

What about diuretics? I heart someone in the audience asking about it. I couldn't hear the answer. Should diuretics not be prescribed on patients with a history of cvd? Thanks

[@MyChannel-j3r]

Diuretics certainly have their place.
