In this video, we’re going to talk about the sodium myth. Many people will tell you that sodium is the worst thing that you can consume.
In fact, there was a study showing that sodium raises your blood pressure. However, if you look closely at the study, along with consuming less sodium, the participants also consumed less sugar.
The real results suggest that it was the sugar that caused blood pressure problems. Another study with 6,000 people showed that there’s no evidence that links sodium to high blood pressure.
Sodium is an essential mineral. You can’t live without it. You need 1,000 mg of sodium a day.
Sodium is essential for regulating your heart function. It also acts as an electrolyte that controls the balance of fluids flowing through your body.
Low sodium can be caused by drinking way too much water. Low sodium can potentially lead to hyponatremia, heart problems, and swelling in the brain.
So how do you know if you need sodium? The key is to listen to your cravings. If you crave salt, it could be a sign you are either not getting enough sodium or you’re flushing sodium out by drinking too much water.
Fluid retention in your legs, fingers, and other parts of your body, is a sign of too much sodium in the body. However, instead of lowering sodium, it’s more effective to raise your potassium levels.
The best source of potassium is not fruit; it’s vegetables. Most people don’t get enough vegetables—you need 8-9 cups a day to increase your potassium level and balance out your sodium.
Another key point is that if your adrenals are burnt out, you won’t have the hormones that regulate electrolytes and minerals. This can cause poor electrolyte balances.
What type of salt is the best? The best salt is pink Himalayan salt. It’s the purest and most unpolluted sea salt.
