SALT....finally it is becoming known that we have been accusing the wrong white crystal for our ill health.. it is too much sugar, and NOT ENOUGH salt that is killing us...
THE BOOK
The salt fix by Dr James DiNicolantonio This book shatters the age-old myth that salt is a cause of heart disease.
IT BLEW MY MIND.
lets face it...
We loose salt when we give birth, breast feed, sweat, cry, urinate and salivate.
And we only just replace it.
the impact of low salt diets has been devastating.
We've all heard the recommendation: eat no more than a teaspoon of salt a day for a healthy heart. Health-conscious humans have hewn to the conventional wisdom that your salt shaker can put you on the fast track to a heart attack, and have suffered through bland but "heart-healthy" dinners as a result.
What if the low-salt dogma is wrong?
Dr. James DiNicolantonio has reviewed more than five hundred publications to unravel the impact of salt on blood pressure and heart disease. He's reached a startling conclusion:
The vast majority of us don't need to watch our salt intake.
🧂In fact, for most of us, more salt would be advantageous to our nutrition--especially for those on the keto diet, as keto depletes this important mineral from our bodies. And those of us who fast often.
'The Salt Fix' tells the remarkable story of how salt became unfairly demonized--a never-before-told drama of competing egos and interests--and took the fall for another white crystal: sugar.
TOO LITTLE SALT CAN:
🧂Make you crave sugar and refined carbs
🧂Send the body into semistarvation mode
🧂Lead to weight gain, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and increased blood pressure and heart rate
But eating the salt you desire can improve
🧂your sleep
🧂 energy
🧂mental focus
🧂 fitness
🧂fertility
🧂sexual performance
And can even stave off common chronic illnesses, including heart disease!!!!!!
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY SALT WAS TRADED FOR GOLD???
Why we feel so good when we swim in the sea?
Why there is expensive salt room therapies now.
Why they put saline water into your arm as soon as you are admitted into hospital???
good questions
