Why I Started Eating Salt After 8 Years | FullyRaw Vegan

Salt helps you hold water in your body so you don't get dehydrated

[@madmoiselleh981]

Salt is a necessary mineral in our body. I don't know how people come to this idea to not use this important element in there daily food. It's dangerous to follow all this what some people are sharing here on you tube. So don't follow blind others. Inquire first!

[@ZoeRaeMusic]

Sodium is in many vegetables

[@madmoiselleh981]

Zoë Rae Sure but how you see it seems to not be enough 🤔

[@powerpuff4ever]

madmoiselle H people just need to look after their macros. Salt specifically is not _necessary_ . Additional iodized salts aren’t the only way to get sodium or iodine or to maintain hydration but they’re the most convenient. You don’t _need_ added salt to get those things but it’s good to listen to your body. If you feel bad and think it’s coming from your diet, change something.

[@kizmomma7009]

I was put in the hospital for not having enough in my body

[@noemiemi7213]

I think since she eats so much more sodium occurring in vegetables, she is actually consuming a fair amount of sodium. Salt is not really necessary, sodium and iodine are.

[@tomr1056]

Just so you know guys Sodium is an essential mineral (plenty in celery for eg) Sodium Chloride (Salt) is a non essential irritant, although very tasty and in fact​ addictive!

[@VitriolXandakas]

The issue is that back in the day when you didn't consume any salt, you were advising people not to do so either. I remember in your website you would justify it by saying that people can die from consuming salt-water and therefore salt is to be avoided (which is a silly argument to put it mildly; one can also die from consuming too much regular water, does this mean we shouldn't be drinking water at all? It's the dose that makes the poison and the medicine). Back then you didn't specify that people who are doing such-and-such activities would benefit from consuming salt, no: you were adamant about not consuming salt, period. No grey area, just black and white. And I don't know about now, but back then your website's FAQ section wasn't about your experience eating the way you do, it was about giving health and diet advice to other people, advice which in hindsight turned out to be unfounded and extremely irresponsible.

[@Here_Today_]

Perhaps she has grown wiser with experience. For those who follow advice blindly, perhaps they'll grow wiser too.

[@ThinkFirstable]

People can only blame themselves for listening to and trusting someone who has no degree nor history of study in medicine nor human anatomy and physiology. I blamed myself after I listened to ridiculous vegans, and tried their IDEOLOGICAL ramblings. I ended up in the hospital. As a member of indigenous tribes, I should have trusted the tried and true ancestral, seasonal diet of my own people. But nooohooo. I had to be an ass and followed other assess. Well, I have returned to eating meat like my ancestors before me, and I haven't been anywhere near a hospital since. Thank my common sense I didn't eleminate salt mineral from my diet because that probably would have been the end.

[@annebartholomaus783]

ThinkFirstable what does vegan have to do with you apparently doing it the wrong way? i personally am studying biology focusing on biochemistry, i've been vegetarian for 16 and vegan for 9 years, im totally fine and far away from a hospital. all you need to do is reading some technical literature, using your common sense and listening to the signs of your body.

[@angelacollier9256]

what is wrong with you opinionated people?! Get over yourselves! She is simply sharing with great success what has worked for her for a decade or so and is giving a coherent and legitimate reason why she started pink salt or Celtic salt minimally. When you sweat profysely you lose your minerals through that sweat. She is simply replacing those minerals quickly with the salt which has a full spectrum of minerals. It's amazing to me how short sighted opinionated people are.

I ended up in the hospital for not eating salt. I had to add pink salt a small amount.

[@kizmomma7009]

Me too! I never salt anything. I dont like salty things unless I'm on my cycle and it's about a handful of salted cashews and I'm done. Never ever thought I'd be put in the hospital over it

[@kizmomma7009]

Laura I actually have a metabolism issues. I dont break down and process food properly. I only absorb 1/4 of the nutrients I Should. I take sublingual vitamins daily just so they get in my system. So, there ya go. So now I consume alternate products to keep me at 3/4 of my levels. I still dont add additional salt to anything. My body doesn't process table salt at all very well. It's fun.

[@lornajarrett1912]

Salt deficiency may cause hyponatremia a serious medical condition causing disorientation, confusion. It is life threatening if it is not treated appropriately in elderly. It's good that you started consuming minimal amount of salt.

[@Stephaniealicianaturalhair]

I did not know this!

[@sowhat...]

I guess it depends on what you mean by salt. If you mean sodium chloride I don't think we need that. If you mean sodium then that is definitely necessarily but a very efficient body which very few people have can get enough from just fruits and vegetables. Though there is an argument that in nature we'd getting some salt/sodium in is by swimming in the ocean but I'm not sure if that's necessary. There are a bunch of long term raw vegans/fruitarians that are thriving and don't consume salt like Loren Lockman, Doug Graham, Robert Lockhart, Anne Osborne, Cappi and more. And not only are they doing great but one thing certain is they don't suffer from hyponatremia and have been doing this for decades so that says a lot.

[@Cat-es9rq]

sowhat I know that there are lot of people doing good in Vegan diet. But what I mentioned here is a possibility of Sodium chloride deficiency, which is common in people consuming sodium restricted diet (eg: hypertension). I am not well knowledgeable about vegan diet providing enough Sodium. Well, yeah it must be..otherwise all those raw vegan people could have been experienced some sodium related issues. The key is to educate ourselves before restricting or incorporating something. I am also more of vegetarian diet. But I do consume salt ( minimal ) but never less than recommended dietary intake. But yes, fruit and veggie diet is the best.

[@angeljar2012]

But she still gets salt from vegetables, she said she wasn't deficient

[@Pumpped]

the only bioavailable form of salt is from fruit veg and greens. All other salt is stored in the liver because its harmful, especially table salt.

[@felipereis1974]

Mammals lick salt rocks on nature too. I live near Amazon jungle in Brazil and I saw this happening. You can check this on biologists camera traps research. I don't know why frugivores think salt is not necessary. Sorry for the english. Greetings.

[@Runner8617]

So it really is true that they are cutting down the rain forest in Brazil to make room for "grass fed cows"? ...so sad:(

Yes, for pastures and for soy

[@SteveSmekar-ll6ln]

its a damn shame, is what it is

[@hege4318]

We gave salt rocks to our horses in our stable :) If not to hard exercise, not much salt is required, and people tend to get to much salt rather than to little :) On the topic of the jungle in Brazil, I know we (Norway) get most of the food for production animals (also salmon) from soy from Brazil. I'm glad I cut out meat many years ago and don't pay anyone to cut down the jungle

[@tomr1056]

Why would animals licking salt mean we need to eat salt?! Salt is very tasty and infact addictive. Salt is not neccessary for me at all 100%.. Sodium is neccessary! Celery! :)

[@UdoADHD]

The reason why is at 5:25 - my fiancé does bikram yoga (hot yoga) and he went to the emergency room because he didn’t have electrolytes. So she needs her salt.

[@thebesteveralina]

It’s ok to eat healthy salt. Our body just can’t get it all from veggies and fruits. It seems like you struggle to accept that fruits and veggies can’t solve every problem.

[@SM-td7ux]

Some people like to get everything they need from whole foods. But it seems to me like she had mainly fruit and some veggies so she probably wasnt getting enough only after starting the extra sweaty workout

[@yippehanako]

@@SM-td7ux salt is naturally occurring, I would say that it is a whole food. Even animals supplement with it

[@SM-td7ux]

Mineral technically its considered a whole food yes. But i wouldn’t consider it one because you can go overboard with it way too quickly as an ingredient. Its way better to get it from things like bladderwrack kelp sea moss etc

You need it, especially table one, wich is by law with iodine.

[@CreativityWithStamps]

I'm not a doctor but I have been doing a lot studying and researching to heal myself and I did learn that salt stimulates the adrenals...extreme and/or prolonged heat can deplete your adrenals...could it be that your "feeling tired" is a sign that your adrenals are getting too much load? So I'm thinking the salt could stimulate your adrenals to perk up...salt is a stimulant on your adrenals...so yes, it will make us feel better and energized but it still is a stimulant.

You should have a deeper look into all of it, your health is at stake...

Hey kristina! You can also add sea vegetables like sea moss bladderwrack kelp etc. bladderwrack had iodine .

[@lesleyoliver5582]

Hi Kristina, my brother stationed at Cyprus for 2 yrs or so so naturally the family would go out to visit him. He too was a marathon runner, and was provided with salt tablets to take every day. When we went over, the medic would insist we take them also (not that we were sporting people but because we were used to a much colder climate therefore our bodies were working harder, therefore depleting these minerals that needed topping up each day. Now I live in Australia and even when it is 40°c and hotter, we still have to continue working, cooking, etc. Not every job or house has efficient power as often it is common that our power will fail through insufficient power in the power banks with our power companies and so Aussies are encouraged to drink 1 sport drink a day. I don't like these (their full of sugar) so I have always taken salt as I did in Cyprus. I have used this method for 30 yrs, it's good for me.

Luckily it was only salt deficiency :) But wish I'd figured it out as soon as you! :)

If you have bad digestion pink salt can help with stomach acid to help digest food.

[@stardust1347]

There are very few differences between sea salt and table salt. The way sea salt is produced allows it to maintain trace minerals but there is no extra health benefits that come from sea salt or Himalayan salt(table salt is more processed though if that's a factor you care about) in fact most table salts actually contain more iodine that Himalayan or sea salts so if your looking for that eat table salt.

What's the problem a little pink Himalayan salt or Celtic Sea salt I've never heard of any issues with it. I've been vegan / raw vegan cuz I was 17 and I've always just had a pinch of here and there I never cut it all the way out so I'm just curious was there a problem with it? Or was it a personal choice to cut it out because your raw vegan? I'm simply asking out of pure curiosity, I know some things are people personal preference ,I know some people kind of jump on the bandwagon and getting erroneous information about certain lifestyle so I'm just curious. I'm a writer , holistic health practitioner , herbalist and certified aromatherapist. I get get curious when I hear things like this.

I am especially impressed by your willingness (after 8 years of believing that salt is bad) to be so HONEST and put it on the table for others to benefit from your experience. I fully support your distinction between table salt and other salts that also contain many minerals without being bleached and all the others things that go on with tables salt.

[@livondett1491]

Interesting, that it worked somehow for you. Because human body simply do not know how to process salt, no matter wich type. Salt in water is main cause of kidney stones, but some modern doctors "treat" it with mineral water... It is like a rock or sand for the body. For the mind, it is a stimulant, same as drugs, alcohol, sugar, as everything seems "tastier" with it and one of the causes of over eating and binge eating. Humans are heterotrophs and can not process inorganic substances. And salt no matter which one is inorganic. But again, to each its own. I discovered recently there are raw not vegan people, who eat raw liver and add eggs to orange juice, same people also give paid health advices... So, people, feel your bodies and do your research.

[@sarahfalk9307]

Sodium is one of the main essential electrolytes in the body. It does many things, one of the most important being fluid regulation which controls blood pressure. You would die without sodium. It's called hyponatremia. A healthy body regulates the amount of sodium by cy controlling how much is excreted through the kidneys.

[@TheEverythingYoville]

Not eating salt is very very dangerous. I stopped eating salt and didn’t feel good. I ate it but not overdid it, again, and I feel better

[@sparkleafter50]

Thanks for sharing. I went WFPB in January and I make sure to stay current with my physician visits. My doctor ran through some important nutrition needs and the first was iodine. I think it is very important to couple a special diet with a good physician or nutritionist that you trust. Iodine is an element that is needed for the production of thyroid hormone. The body does not make iodine, so it is an essential part of your diet. This is why I added a little salt back into my diet. Just my experience as well.

This was my main concern while transitioning. Coming from an highly athletic background after one intense workout i would cramp following a fruitarian diet.

If don’t eat Himalayan or sea salt you are in serious trouble. Both salts contain essential mineral for your body. But the most important is the fact that the salt contains chlorine (Cl). What does it mean? If you have deficiences of this ingredient you are struggle to produce hydrochloric acid. And no matter what great juice you are making and raw food you can’t absorb vitamins and minerals in a proper way. And it leads to serious health problem.

I am now on the Mediterranean lifestyle personally because it works for me being mostly plant based but I needed alotttt of protein because no matter what I did I lost loads of hair being vegetarian/vegan and raw vegan.

If I go back on the salt I will end up having more salt than food, I can not trust myself. :-)

Most table salt has iodine

what do you know about kidney stones? I eat lots of greens and ended up getting them.. very painful.. I cured it with chanka piedra herb and lemon juice.. but still.. what about the oxalates ?

[@jessicaledgerwood9005]

I always love watching your videos. I add salt on my heavy training days as well. I was getting "charlie horses" in my legs at night that were waking me up out of a dead sleep. I don't train every day like you, but I do add it on the days I do.(4-5 days a week)

Hymalaian salt or sea salt - good. Low potassium in the diet = high blood pressure, heart arythmia, tired, muscle pain. Thats why we need avocados for potassium.

I don't like adding salt to my diet, but I did by pink Himalayan salt. I read it's good to use for brushing teeth along with other ingredients! Keep up the good work 👋

what do u recommend for someone like me who, due to digestive issues and IBS, is sensitive to oxylates (sp?) Which are in a lot of healthy vegetables. I was craving fresh juice for a while so I was juicing carrots apples spinach parsley kale.... And it was causing me to be gassy bloated and doubled over with stomach pain. I know leafy green vegetables are healthy for most people but in my case they really do me in. Side note: I am not vegan, and with an issue like mine I don't know how anybody could be

Hi Kristina! I’ve been watching your videos off & on for 6+ years. You look great, glad to hear you still tweak as needed. I wanted to suggest checking into the benefits & possibly trying out Sole Water (pronouced So-lay). You get more minerals & less sodium from the salt when consumed this way.

[@AtHomeWithJenn]

Great job, Kristina! ❤👍

[@zeinabsadek4900]

Which brand are you consuming if you don't mind sharing? Started looking into salt and got scared a little as some apparently have more pollutants than others. Thx for always being inspiring!

[@kellyding5389]

So... three hours of exercise..?

[@Bee37351]

I'm not a vegan, but I do like some of your vegan recipes Kristina! This video was a good one, I'd love to hear more about your running though... I was also a runner but now have been doing other kinds of exercises, but I miss it for sure. Your video inspired me to think about picking it up again. I'd love to watch a video of your running experience. What kind of terrain do you run on? Shoes you wear and also, how do you keep your knees and joints healthy with all the running you do? Also what do you think about swimming?

Normal human digestion needs both salts n sugars. In small quantities. The brain needs sugars. Etc

WHEN is the app going to be on Android?!

Before Thanksgiving!

[@ethicalvegan4852]

You are amazing ❤️

[@rainbowmagick7094]

I think this is great. You're not a god, mistakes can be made. But you're learning and growing. I hate the attacks you're getting. I'm actually pleased to see this.

Don't forget to take iodine, I developed fibrocystic breast disease from lack of iodine. I took 600 mcg on nascent iodine for couple of years now. Search on KZbin, lack of iodine is linked to cancer and 80% Of USA is estimated to be dangerously deficient in iodine. Did you check your D and B12?

[@night_owl_sadness]

For salt I use Redmond real salt it taste better then regular table salt
