As far as losing salt due to coffee consumption, I learned a great tip a while ago. If you add a 1-2 grinds of either sea salt or Pink Himalayan sea salt in your coffee, it takes away the bitterness and enhances the flavor. Plus, you retain some of the salt you may lose. This tip actually helped to wean me off of adding sweet creamers and sugar to my coffee, which I was addicted to. Now I take my coffee black with a twist of sea salt.

[@katherinebrady6296]

@@katherinebrady6296 it may take a while in the beginning to adjust the amount of grinds it takes. I find that the Pink Himalayan has a tinge of natural sweetness to it.

I'm a nurse at a hospital and I realized the other day that the recommended sodium level is 2300 mg/day but in the hospital if you're placed on a cardiac diet, you're restricted to 2000 mg/day. That tells me we are essentially being recommended to eat a low sodium diet whether we are healthy or not. Very disturbing.

Hi Mr. Richards, I was an ICU RN for years. I started Med-Surg, moved on to cardiac, ER, and back to ICU. I was looking for the department that would give me the highest nurse-patient-doctor satisfactory relationship. Unfortunately, it didn't happen very often 😔. Not long ago, I reported someone who was giving inaccurate medical information on the internet. I had to, no remorse. For you, all I know is that you're a nurse, I'd recommend taking it slowly and do your own research before becoming alarmed. I know we have little time to none to keep up with continued education. But one patient at a time and one circumstance at a time can be managed, I guess. Good luck 👍 God bless 🙏🕊...

Salt is essential for good health as long as you are consuming Celtic sea salt from the northern hemisphere, it's far better for you than Himalayan salt which is obviously in rock form which the body does not absorb as well, avoid at all costs basic table salt and sodium laden processed foods.

[@scarletletter2847]

This information is huge. I think of my elderly parents told to limit salt...exhibiting dizziness, fatigue, etc.

[@franceseskridge3475]

So many doctors prescribe a salt substitute when it is really unnecessary and probably harmful!

[@rawwoodgifts8117]

There are so many data that become understood only now. The need for enough salt is one of them. Share the truth as much as possible and we'll have a saner world.

[@dailyabundance]

For years I suffered from chronic Exertion Headaches especially after any kind of excercises. Headaches lasted 24-48 hrs. To the point where I had to give up any form of intensive sports...even golf. Cut a long story short...adding Himalayan salt to smoothies, vegetable broths etc was the cure! Gone are the headaches and now I enjoy exercising again. This is vital information that you will never find in medical journals etc.

[@saratkumar2484]

Pure salt is Sodium Chloride. Himalayan salt is a mixture of Sodium, Potassium, Calcium etc Chlorides. So the effect of HS is not the same as pure salt. Really there is no need to go for such an expensive salt. Each individual can use pure salt based on his doctor's advice.

[@flickaJay]

@@saratkumar2484 Why trust the doctor who know less about me than I do? Himalayan salt retains the minerals that were with it in nature, that's 80% more minerals than table salt. For minerals to work properly they cannot be isolated. Table salts processing takes those minerals out and adds aluminum. It's down-right dangerous. The 2% minerals that it does retain after the rest are bleached out are so harsh that they kill the taste buds. If we took only the amount of table salt that a single person uses for just one meal and and injected it into our blood stream it would kill us. On the other hand, sea salt has been used during wartime as a replacement for blood in transfusions because it is the closest thing to human blood. Should we ask a doctor how much poison is okay to take?

[@52nenne]

Lack of magnesium is the cause if headaches & migraine. Ditch the refined salt wether it's from the sea or anywhere else.

Update: Heart rate is regular. No AFib. In 2021, after I wore a “halter” showing my heart was always in AFib, the cardiologists said I would need a procedure (that didn’t always work) to try to get back into regular rhythm.

You are spot on about salt. I am a person who sweats a lot, and I live in the sub-tropics. Back to my childhood, my father also took salt tablets because he had an outdoor occupation exposed to heat. Adding salt to food became second nature. Recently, my doctor prescribed blood pressure medication. I suffered severe muscle cramps, dizziness and my asthma worsened. I stopped taking them. Then she prescribed a lower dose of a different drug. Same symptoms, so I stopped. She still expresses “great concern” of my elevated BP, I take it with “a grain of salt”. Interestingly enough, the only deficiency she found was iron. Everything else was perfect. I have been taking iodised salt and potassium salt regularly to replace the BP drugs, as they were putting my health at serious risk, to the point of almost ending up in hospital being unable to breathe. I will continue to eat natural fats and salt in my diet. I get less problems overall by doing so.

I can imagine! There was a time I didn't eat meat. There was a time I didn't eat milk or was on hign fat/high protein or IFasting, but never in my life I was on low salt. I never believed that thing.

[@synergy2222]

Fantastic Interview! I'm Keto and for some reason last year I stopped eating my daily salads and Steak - which I salted - and practiced cooking (you know covid, so I was learning how to creatively cook at age 65!). I started using more spices and less Himalayan Salt on my foods. I rarely make my buttered coffee that I always put a little salt into - so it all adds up. I have had symptoms such as restless sleep, leg cramps - that I never get (I do take Magnesium though), fatigue, ankle swelling that alarmed me so much my friends made me go to the ER! Dr. said it's MY AGE and elevate them more often. Right. I'm a Flight Attendant but compression socks do help. Time to add Salt and see how things change! Thank you both!!! I've passed on my notes and this link to friends.

Thank you Dr Berg , your videos are so informative👍🏼 I’ve done periodic water fasts since 35yrs old and I’m now almost 53. In my life journey with fasting about ten years ago I did a 21 day fast, The 1st thing I craved and consumed on day 22 was a little sea salt. Back then I didn’t understand why I craved salt. I also do FIRS sauna every second day . On those days I always eat avocado 🥑 with sea salt and olive oil. Feeling refreshed and satiated after consuming it. In the past I’ve want to comment but get so busy so I take this opportunity to say what a great informative KZbin channel your providing .

[@asa3409]

I add pink salt to my sparkling water with lime. Probably about 1/4 t. per drink and may have that twice every day. Started this when I started keto August 2019. It’s so good and if you think you’re hungry, it stops that.

[@spongebobsquaretits]

it tastes nice too

[@tonik2734]

This is funny. I need between 5,000-6,000 mg salt a day. The more sweat the more salt I have to ingest. I use Himalayan salt. Water will make you sick if you are low on sodium Don’t let drs tell you that salt is the enemy! Not enough salt leads to digestive issues. I have to carry salt in my vehicle to use if my brain starts to fog up. Eat some salt and clear brain up in ten seconds. Not enough salt leads to muscle cramps; ie, heart attack, muscle cramps, hiccups, edema, high blood pressure, etc. very good interview. Went through much of this info with my husband. Thank you.

[@francinegryspeerdt18]

Thank you ! I had high BP , got on keto , raised my salt intake because I felt I needed it and my BP is fine now. Keto made me loose so mucj weight so easily ! 20 kilo I lost in total in a few months so I lost a lot of fluid and I don't feel great , I am weak and tired . So now I know what to do : increase salt intake a little bit more. All my life , I am 63 , I avoided salt , what a pity . Oh and now I make french fries ( not for me but for my family ) in fat of oxes , I don't know how you call that , like my mother and my grandmother did . No more canola or sunflower oil . The rest of my cooking I use butter and olive oil of the best quality. My vit D and my magnesium and potassium are ok . Really good information , thanks a lot Dr Berg

Thanks for reminding me about the potassium/sodium balance. I read that info years ago in the Metabolic Diet book. My 6yo eats a lot of bananas, drinks good amount of water and he loves a good spinkle of Himalayan/sea salt blend on his soup and foods. We try to limit his use but I guess his body knows what he needs.

[@flickaJay]

I just listened to a lady nutritionist who had a health retreat in New Zealand. Her normal channel is here on youtube with Clash of Minds. The one I was listening to this morning is on Rumble because Google bans some things regarding the governments narrative on the "vaccinations". If you just type in the title you can find it and within the first 25 minutes she talks about Celtic sea salt being better at getting the magnesium and other minerals in your body because it's a water hungry source. She explained it better than I could. The title is "Barbara O'Neill - COMPASS - Part 32 - True Remedies: Water [1]". It's a lot of good information. She takes it every day and as well, her children grew up learning to do the same.

Liberally salting my food cured my supposed postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. Also my heart murmur stopped. Magnesium chloride, a gram a day, and occasional boron and selenium, daily zinc and D3, are maybe/probably why I don't catch colds, even when I was a classroom teacher getting sneezed on all day.. Is there too much omega 6 in tahini? I eat it every day, at least a tablespoon. I started back on flax, and I am pescaterian (sic), getting lots of mollusk critters in my diet. Thanks for addressing this controversial topic. My parents were anti salt so it took me almost a lifetime to let myself satiate the craving. I used to think it was why pickles gave me migraine.

Hello Dr Berg. Thanks as always. Simple and delicious recipe. Parboil good quality waxy potatoes cut into chunks or slices until they are soft but still firm. Put them in a large bowl with appropriate amounts of olive oil, apple cider vinegar (according to how many servings you need) and just enough sea salt. Shake them around a little to allow the spuds to absorb the oil, salt and vinegar then bake (180 degrees is ideal) for about 25-35 minutes depending on the quality of your oven. Cook until golden brown* and serve sprinkled with fresh herbs of your choice and freshly ground black pepper (optional). You can add rosemary to the boiling water which gives a wonderful background flavour. It makes a great side dish or a tasty snack, as long as you don't eat too much ! It's vegan too. Best wishes from Slovenia. *playing Dave Brubeck/The Stranglers during the cooking process is optional obviously.

What gives?! Came home, resumed my light salt diet, gut problems every day again!! I am better this 3 weeks by eating organic eggs, organic chicken drumsticks 3 times a week, celery juice, rooted vegetables, raw and cooked vegetables, taro, sweet potatoes, chestnuts, organic blueberries, kiwi, apple, mango and green juice etc. all of which contain natural sodium, and I added a little H salt to my cooking and now, I feel much better!
