My sister is managing her diabetes with diet alone. Her husband was put on a salt restricted diet, and to keep it simple she cut down on salt also. Her blood sugar started to go off the charts high for no apparent reason even while still watching her diet. She talked to her doctor and started to increase her salt intake and her blood sugar returned back to manageable levels!

I broke my hip in a traumatic fall. Within 24 hrs I had a partial hip replacement. Because I live alone, I was sent to a Skilled Nursing Facility for recovery. Blood work done there revealed hyponatremia and the doctor told me to add salt. My mom never added salt and neither did I. So at age 80 I was for the first time adding salt. The irony was the nursing facility kept a salt-free kitchen. I had to specifically request salt packets each day.

I think Dysautonomia, in general, is either on the rise or at least being better recognized. Under that umbrella diagnosis is Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). My middle daughter was diagnosed with POTS around age 14. My youngest is now showing symptoms. I was never officially dxd by definitely am symptomatic. My middle daughter also has kidneys that seem to push her electrolytes too quickly. She was old by her cardiologist to suck on the Himalayan rock salt as much as she wants. She also gets a liter of Lactated Ringers Solution daily (plus a bunch of NS with meds) because she doesn't absorb enough through her GI tract. I find myself needing to drink electrolyte infused drinks (less all of the sugar!) or I get off kilter. I like that you guys make it clear that salt is a necessary mineral for life. Too many people try to cut all salt out of their diets! They don't realize that all electrical impulses in our bodies are made by what is called the sodium potassium pump. No salt, no impulses. No life! But balance is key, as in all things!

Salt is interesting to study. From a cooking perspective, brining turkey, etc., but with the osmosis that occurs, little sodium is absorbed. Chefs/good cooks salt raw proteins, especially a steak and let it sit up to overnight, and it draws excess moisture out and results in superior searing without tasting salty, etc. It's not so much the sodium that we cook with that concerns me, it is the amount in processed foods. Food labels are tricky at times in the USA. An innocent appearing item such as catsup, that may not taste salty is measured in a tablespoon with sodium with food labeling here does not sound high. However, when you consider that some can easily use 1/4 cup ( 4 tablespoons) of catsup along side their French fries, you have met or exceeded your sodium intake for the day. I have used some upscale French salts that were impressive with a LITTLE going a long way. I broke the tradition of automatically using the salt shaker when eating years ago. Yes, I know tomatoes, etc. will likely always need it. Taste things first before salting. Once you break bad habits with salting, processed food will soon taste inedible to you.

Ironically, I have high blood pressure and I don't use a lot of salt. Whenever I'm in the doctor's office, my blood pressure is always high and the first thing they ask is about salt. I've never been a big salter and I rarely add salt to anything except potatoes, avocadoes and boiled eggs (and that's still minimal). My blood pressure is fine at home, the only time it's high is when I'm in the doctor's office! So we have established my blood pressure isn't high because of salt. It's high because I go to doctors. We used to only buy iodized salt but my brother read some kind of report saying iodized salt wasn't necessary. From what you just said, that may be the only way we get iodine. I salt food when I cook it but rarely salt cooked food (especially before I taste it). Some people vigorously salt food (like my sister) but I believe it's partly because of using artificial sweeteners. Items are so overwhelmingly sweet that they can't taste anything like a normal person. I use very little sugar and very little salt because I can taste. I usually buy sea salt, I think it's better than others. But I'm not a salty person (like Dr Zalzal). Yes, he has a dry sense of humor but that's what makes him so funny!😅 Thanks for sharing another great video!👍

I was really hoping you'd comment on claims that Himalayan pink salt contains up to 70 minerals and other substances that are healthy for you. You said that there hadn't been a randomized study of the health benefits of this salt, but I would still like to know what substances it contains that have been studied as separate supplements, and whether the dosages of these substances that you'd get from a reasonable intake amount of this salt are enough to matter.

My entire life I have craved salt. I will even lick my finger, put salt on it then lick it off. My labs always shows my sodium to be near the lower end of the relevant range and even below normal at times. So much so, I consume about a pound of salt a month. When I was younger, I just turned 62, I used to also have low blood pressure. These days my blood pressure is more normal rather than low.

I'm a long distance runner who is a heavy salty sweater (maybe partially because I also carry at least one CF gene) and I am so confused about the constant debate in the running world about salt intake, especially during long hot runs or races. I have recently started adding LMNT to my electrolyte/carb drink to supplement my sodium, since I have low blood pressure along with the sweat issue. Not sure whether I really should be or even benefit from it as there is conflicting information. I am not normally a salt adder to my prepared food after cooking and eat whole foods plant based.🤔

What about No Salt (Potassium Chloride)? The reason I ask is that I have had issues with low potassium on and off for years. It got so low recently that I had to go to the ER for an infusion. But they can't tell me why I'm having this low potassium issue.

I’d like to know your thoughts on supplements like LMNT which are intended for athletes to help stay hydrated with electrolytes. Does using these supplements make sense for people who sweat excessively, especially my climate in Florida?

So may be useful for people exercising at moderate to high intensity for longer periods of time but not for the average person

Very interesting. Here in the UK the RDA for salt is “no more than 6g (6000mg).” I wonder why it’s double the USA RDA?

After cutting down on salt consumption you will eventually notice how salty processed food and restaurant food is. No salt shaker at our house.

Question: I've heard from another Doc that when a person goes to hospital with a heart attack, one of the first things they do is administer 900 mg bag of saline. . . . is this true? if so, what gives?
@michaelmm46844 күн бұрын
That’s true…I am an NMD, severe deficiency in sodium, with is your electric power house for the heart. ..can cause a stroke , or hear attack.. You do need enough salt and potassium..
@TalkingWithDocs4 күн бұрын
Often because of hypotension or shock caused by a heart attack. Normal saline increases the volume in your bloodstream and subsequently your cardiac output.
@TalkingWithDocs4 күн бұрын
Yes it is important to have normal sodium and potassium levels but normal saline is used in heart attacks to increase the stroke volume of the heart rather than correcting hyponatremia

Please explain low sodium, off the chart low sodium, results in routine blood labs . what does it indicate. I am always told it has little to no effect from my salt intake. ???

At 75 yo with hypertension which is controlled by daily Amlodipine, I virtually eliminated salt from my diet by not adding it and mostly not eating processed food. Then, I saw something that Himalayan salt had all these trace elements that people need. So, you say there have been no studies suggesting pink salt was sufficiently beneficial to justify eating it? Hm-m ...

On the Kona side of the Big Island of Hawaii, there is a company producing salt from ocean water pumped up from several thousand feet below the surface. If I recall correctly, due to the time it takes for the oceans to - what's a good word - "swirl" the world, that water is pre-industrial revolution and free of modern pollutants. I don't have a citation for that at the moment though.

Sodium is responsible for opening the heart, and potassium is responsible for closing the heart muscle. We need both to live.
