Because it’s not about any salt. Most people consume too much table salt which has no nutrients. Doctors say stay away from salt but they should be saying stay away from table salt and consume natural salt.
I just recently spent 6 weeks feeling so fatigued, rundown and just overall felt horrible. After 4 weeks I finally went to the doctor. She examined me and said "it's just allergies. Pick your favorite allergy medicine and ride it out." I explained to her that I have had allergy and sinus issues since I was young and have never felt like that before due to allergies. I continued to feel horrible and one night I was watching RU-vid and ran across a video similar to this that had the majority of my symptoms listed. Low salt. I started using salt and have felt completely new compared to how I had felt for the previous 6 weeks. I'm about to lose hope in doctors.
What kind of salt do you use? I wonder why people are sodium defficient because when they are eating fast food they get more than enough sodium. Does it make really such a great difference to take seasalt instead of "normal" salt?
Can we jus take a moment to appreciate how this Dr doesn't add 60 ads or even 1 ad in his videos? Jus gives free, helpful information, efficiently and effectively in a way where everyone can comprehend. ❤ (I truly needed this video after a week of eliminating all salt, sugar and processed food from my diet. Now I know how to slowly introduce it back in.)
I often let the add at the end of his video (when I watch one like this one,) to run until the end as a thank you for all the great information he is sharing.
@@melvinrexwinkle1510 somebody still believes in the left right paradigm? Time to grow up and realize you are in Satan’s kingdom and it’s all a massive ruse.
Both are pretty bad, but sugar is worse than salt, most studies show that both can be used in a balanced, healthy diet tho, moderation is the key to everything.
I remember my grandfather coming in from working in the outdoors on hot summer days and poring salt the size of a dime in the palm of his hand, lick it and then drink water to wash it down. Now that I am older, I do the same, only I use Himalayan pink salt and filtered water.
My mother was on a low salt diet, drinking lots of water, taking diuretics and eating high carb. Her sodium levels dropped so low she developed acute psychosis. She was convinced explosives had been planted in our house and many many cops came. She has schizophrenia, so she is predisposed to psychosis, but the psychiatrist who evaluated her (in his 70s) said she had the lowest sodium levels he has ever seen. She was hospitalized for 3 or 4 days and made a full recovery.
I can relate, i was running everyday and drink a lot of water. One night i have a waking nightmare that never happened before, heart going crazy and extreme headache after. Its crazy
I have just started adding pink Himalayan salt to my food last week. Immediately my dehydration went away. Also midnight trips to urinate were down 50-60%. Sleep improved unbelievably also. Cant believe the positive changes it made
I had this too, frequent urination possibly removing other minerals that was suppose to be used but could not since I did not have enough salt to balance them
@@CYndibabI Himalayan pink salt I use presently.,I've also used Celtic sea salt. Both have trace minerals and vitamins. White table salt is poison as far as I'm concerned. From what I've read(I'm no doctor) pink Himalayan salt and Celtics sea salt will not give you high blood pressure like table salt. No doctor, just what I read
Dear Doctor Berg I went to urgent care a few weeks ago felt very ill heart palpitations gasping to breathe, blood work came back UTI they prescribed an antibiotic still feeling very ill was discharged, that day I by chance saw this video on symptoms of low salt and I truly believe you saved my life I immediately ate a teaspoon of himalayan salt with warm water I felt better with minutes!, I also feel upset the PA told me not to be asking him to many questions because he was very busy! Thank you Doctor Berg for saving my life I'm eating more salt now, your the best
For years i was on a low sodium diet because of my blood pressure ! until keto ! gotta have electrolites and in balance ! ive been big pharma free for over 14 years now !
@@Nicksonian true ! at the time i did not know how important iodine was ! i was deficient ! there are better sources of iodine than table salt even sea salt !
True like wine not pasteurized is the blood of Christ with the probiotic dormant but still alive. The ballence of wine probiotic is against the alcohol content by persentage naturally. When alcohol content is tampered with and wine not pasteurized it turns into vinigar. Your body perduced a pint of spirit alcohol to 2 pints of spirit alcohol a day to ballence against the lrobiotics in your blood. And this is what Jesus said is life in you by comminunion. But when you destroy that by pasteurization of all wine and beer in the United States it's dead, dead wine no life in it..! Same thing with milk.. if the morons could just understand pasteurize it to keep it on the Shelf put the acidophilus back in it before drinking. And do that somehow with the opening of a carton of milk or a bottle of milk or a bottle of wine or a can of beer or a bottle of beer. The person that figures this out and markets it will be the next billionaire in the health field..! SO WHAT DOES THE alcohol besides balance the probiotic dormant..? I ask God this question and he told me. " The alcohol is it Delivery Agent of the dormant probiotics two critical organs, upon breathing the alcohol off to the lungs those dormant probiotics come to live in critical organs and heal them"
We have the ocean flowing through our veins and we have the oceans in our eyes when we cry. Everything in nature is connected and everything in nature is one together. There's no such thing as separation. Most of everything we've been taught is illusionary. We are all one and are all connected at the same time. Isn't that beautiful?
Now that it's the summer I add a large pinch to my water every morning and have noticed that I feel 1000 times better, I'm not as dizzy or fatigued as I was before.
I watched this video about 8 days ago and learned why I had developed an irregular heart beat. I live alone and exercise total control over my diet. Being very health conscious I eliminated all salt. I don't mean a low sodium diet. I mean a zero sodium diet. After I purchased Himalayan sea salt and ingested the irregular heart beat disappeared. Thank you Dr. Berg for the valuable information.
You are describing my mother... Poor dear didn't make the century because she believed in "God the Doctor". COPD, diabetes... Low sodium diet, restricted liquids, meds and more meds and insulin shots (which might have been avoided if the nursing home had offered a low carb diet instead of one centered around starch based proteins and unlimited sugar access). She craved salt and denied it. I found out why. I took her out to lunch (so to speak) one Mother's Day. She chose the restaurant and ordered a "fish fillet" sandwich with fries (didn't finish either) and a soda. Loved it! By the time we got back to the nursing home her ankles had swollen to the point that when she bumped on on the edge of her bed the skin split and oozed clear fluid. It was a slow spiral downhill from there. I could see the imbalance in her system was not going to be addressed. That low salt diet had been ongoing since I was an adolescent and she had high blood pressure. She took the diuretics and avoided salt, lived on that damned low protein diet (to protect her kidneys!) and spent the last years of her life being wheeled about in a wheelchair, too weak to walk. I am working overtime to make sure this is not going to happen to me. Thanks for the thumbs up on Salt. I've always salted heavily and don't mind supplementing with potassium to balance it.
As a child of the 60's, salt was explained as a source of high blood pressure, and sugar was described as a natural flavor enhancer. It wasn't until the mid 90's that research demonstrated that sea salt is good for health. and that sugars are the cause of most arterial related diseases. Most of my generation still haven't caught up.
@chuckleezodiac24 yeah, we were trained backwards. I just took a pinch of Himalayan sea salt and water and can feel a little more mobility. You can always take less, I've taken more than a pinch and threw up before.
I am 66, and when I started working in a steel mill in hot weather salt dispensers were placed around the work place, Then a few years later after the CDC's misinformation they disappeared .
I followed Dr. Berg advise and loose 22 kg weight in six months (November 2020 till May 2021). I weight 86kg and my BMI index shows obese. But, now I weight 64 kg and now my BMI index is normal. It feels soo good now and got rid from my other body and psychological problems. Gain lots of health and energy. Thanks Dr. Berg for sharing such important information regarding human health and making people happy 😊😊..
my dad complains of being chronically fatigued and weak and he vilifies salt like it's satan. could never convince that stubborn old man to eat more salt, he thinks it's poison.
I "gave up" salt in 1979 at the urging of my college roommate. (He gave up recreational drugs as his part of the deal.) Shortly after I graduated I developed health problems; specifically what turned out to be migraines, but with nausea so overwhelming the headache that it took a while to diagnose. Eventually they went away. 40 years later (in a recent video) Dr. Berg points out that this can be a side effect of salt deficiency. I needed to know that 4 decades ago.
In former Yugoslavia, when eating young onions, my grandparents would normally put a good pinch of salt into their plates and before every bite they'd dip it. I occasionally do the same.
I had a related incident to this today. I was working hard outside, in the heat and felt super drained after a few hours. I added a spoon of pink salt to my ginger lemon water and immediately felt rejuvenated. I heard the good doctor mention it on another video just a few days ago, and decided to try. So glad I did! As a landscaper , I wish I knew this sooner. I drink about a gallon of water a day because I sweat, heavily. Now it will be salted!
I actually had low sodium levels in my blood, I found out after taking a blood test. I had no idea what was going on, as a heathy runner and someone that ate well I couldn't figure out why I had weakness, fainting and major headaches. I added salt to my diet in every meal. With in months I was back to normal.
Your salt video with Dr. James has a million times improved my physical energy levels!!!! For years I've always felt weak, physically fatigued and my arms/forearms would not have strength, like it would feel like my muscles were just depleted....but for NO reason! So my body was telling me "salt Jenn" for like 3 days, so I decided to look it up and found your video. After watching it, I've been drinking about 8oz glass of lemon water with sea salt 2x/day now. It's been 5 days, but I literally feel the difference. No more weakness!!! It was busy at work last night and I worked 7 hours straight, no break!! Usually I would "need" to eat or have water, anything to try to feel stronger, and not like I'm gonna pass out. This has literally changed my life so far and I can't be any more grateful!! Thank you!!! ❤
🧂 If I get overheated, i feel terrible and will later get a migraine headache. I recently learned that if I take electrolytes, or even put a package of salt into a lemonade if electrolytes are not available, I can endure the heat so much better. Who knew.
My father in-law ended up nearly dying from salt deficiency. He spent 2 weeks in the hospital to get his salt levels back up - in fact the hospital had a special "salt team" dedicated just to this. We thought he was going to die
I work outside many hours a day and like to drink Haymaker's Punch all afternoon ( 12 oz. Water with 1 Tbsp ACV, 1 tsp Honey AND a couple shakes of salt). I also add a shake of salt in my coffee in a.m. and set out a tsp of salt to add when I'm preparing meals. I've only been doing this since Dr. Berg's last video on this subject and I have SO much more strength and stamina. No more weakness and exhaustion after working.
One of the most fascinating parts of my IF journey has been differentiating between hunger, needing salt, and craving carbs. I've learned that very seldom is what I'm feeling actual hunger.
4 days ago- I started to experience weakness and fatigue. Then the lightheaded and dizzy feelings came. Then the heart palpitations- then the mental confusion shallow breathing and Psychosis. Blood pressure went real low as well. I managed to gain some clarity after eating a heavily salted steak and instantly felt better. That’s when it clicked for me and I searched for this info. I was drinking my electrolytes but taking an extra potassium and magnesium supplement… I was tanking my sodium.
I have Addison’s disease and before I was given the right medication to help with my illness I would be sucking on rock salt all the time because the craving was so intense, I ended up in resus because my body couldn’t get enough salt, take your salt everyone!! It’s essential for life!
Try megadoses of l-glutamine like 30g 2-3x a day for a minimum of 3 weeks to fill in the lining of your stomach. I’ve literally never met anyone who hasn’t benefited from this protocol, even body builders don’t usually take enough. 99.999% of all chronic disease is heavy metals toxicity and/or poor gut health. Glutamine seals up the gut. As for heavy metals look into Andy Cutler Chelation protocols.
Dr. Berg. Your information is always invaluable. I recently bought a Kilo bag of Himalayan sea salt from a health store here in my local town. I noticed almost immediately a huge difference in my alertness and tiredness. The lady in the store advised that if I put a half tea spoon twice a day under my tongue and allow it to dissipate in its own time then my body will receive the maximum benefits of the salt. It has proven to be of immense benefit. 👍
Thank you, Dr. Berg. I ended up in the ICU a couple of years ago with very low sodium. They were afraid I'd go into a coma and die. I wasn't afraid, I knew I wasn't going to go anywhere. I had nausea and vomiting and was very weak. I was on an IV until my sodium level improved. Now I eat more salt.
The last 6 years I avoided salt like a hawk Becuase my bodybuilding coach brainwashed me into thinking it hold water and will make me puffy. I used to drag myself into doctors office for chronic “fatigue” … the torture I put my body through .
Table salt and sea salt metabolize differently in the body. In nature, salt exists with a combination of other trace minerals which changes the way your body processes it. You can likely be more generous with se salt for this reason. Minerals conduct electricity through our nerves of the body to help us feel energized. Try using pink Himalayan salt without any additives. Read the ingredients and make sure there are no extra ingredients. Celtic Sea Salt is also good. The flavor is slightly different. Whatever sea salt you choose, make sure it has no other additives.
Me too. My doctor told me I should do a low salt diet and I embraced it. Then the brain fog and muscle weakness happened in a big way. I started eating salt again, and I feel so much better. On the other hand, it turns out that I am one of the minority who actually is sodium sensitive, so my blood pressure is still too high. That's ok though, because it has motivated me to do LCHF and IF, now the extra weight is coming off and as I get more healthy the BP will drop too.
For two days after a surgery I was so drained of energy I couldn't even focus enough to watch videos, I felt like I was dead. They gave me a sodium infusion and it was like I came back to life. Now I really make sure to get enough salt, if I don't supplement salt before workouts I'll feel much more fatigued.
If God uses salt as an analogy (favorably), why have we vilified it so much? At different times, I have studied biblical eating. I think some of those ideas have a lot of merit. On topic, God compares His followers to the savory ness of salt, and if we have lost that savor, we are no longer a good witness for Him. We would be bland and tasteless. We need salt.
@@someoneanonymous775 yeh but the grain wasn't genetically modified then or they weren't adding nasty things to it. Barbara O'Neil gives a good explanation of why many grains are not good when they used to be harmless. 💐
WOW Dr. Berg, thank God for you! I have been feeling fatigued, weak, headachy, brain foggy, heart palpitations and shortness of breath! I'm on a low salt diet and will now be adding Himalayan Pink salt or Sea salt to my diet, thank you so much, I believe you just saved my life!❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼
I watched WAY TOO MANY of these videos when I first found Dr. Berg. I was overwhelmed. I need to back up and take one bite at a time, but I am SO GRATEFUL to have found these videos!
Anyone on Intermittent Fasting or OMAD definitely need plenty of salt. This is a major issue when making a change in diet, especially to low-carb/Keto, as generally we’ve been told salt is unhealthy for most of our lives.
@@paulwiffin2452 Everyone is a different shape and size but for myself, around 1 tsp above what you normally take on your food. I add 1 tsp to my ACV and potassium drink daily.
This is very interesting! I get daily migraines and have been horribly tired lately with swollen feet and ankles. This swelling happens every summer. I am thinking all the water I drink along with tea is depleting salt levels.
Ended up in urgent care after doing keto, a water fast and giving blood over the same weekend. I actually thought my salt was too high before the fast, and later realized that when I ate salt, it made my heart race so I thought I needed to reduce it. Adding more salt back in to my diet, my heart no longer responded that way and I feel much better in general. I don't care much for salty foods, but it's better than being sick and weak.
It would be good to let for the powers that are, to report this, So many people will have been affected by this, and have been in Nursings homes It is Tragic
I quit eating salt for a super long time due to somebody’s advice and get very sick. Worst acid reflux ever and super tired all the time, pain, plus brain fog. Now I have started to eat salt again and feel so much better 🤗🙏🏻thank you for sharing🙏🏻💗
OMG. Just realized I have three different types of salt on my shelf: Natural Sea Salt; Iodized Sea Salt; and Iodized Salt (CVS had a sale). The Natural salt has one ingredient: salt. The other two salts both have dextrose (an added sugar), in addition to other stuff like tricalcium phosphate, defined as a "free-flowing agent." I do love pink salt, but mostly because it's pink, to be honest.😁 So, now I'm in shock. I've always thought of salt as an "ingredient," not something that *had* ingredients. Doc, don't know what I'd do without you! 🙏❤
I have bought pink Himalayan salt for ages now. I recently bought Redmond Real Salt . I read it had lots of minerals. NOT all salts are the same and most health professionals ignore that fact. It’s also interesting that the Japanese and Chinese have the highest salt intakes in the world yet have the lowest body weights. I put a 2 tsps of Redmond’s salt in a glass and a half of water in a large jar l-stir it up and cover it and in the morning the salt has dissolved and I drink about 1/4 cup of it…throughout the day. I’m going to keep doing this as they say drinking some salt water each day is good for us. NOT a lot. But a little. I am feeling better since I began this over a week ago. My husband’s mom had high blood pressure and her doctor told her NO salt. She became weak and lacked energy to do much of anything. She probably needed good unrefined sea salt.
It's interesting that the Bible only speaks about Salt as a good thing. According to Dr.Batmanghelidj's book: 'You're Not Sick, You're Thirsty' You can't have too much salt in your body only too little, if you have too much your body will excrete it though sweet and urination. I've tested this in my own body for years and found it to be true.
A healthy body will have no trouble removing any excess. Exactly as designed. But the mass population is unhealthy and the body forgets which way is up. It has a hard time monitoring proper levels when full of toxins. Keto fixes this quickly. :)
In the book "The Salt Fix" it says a healthy body can easily eliminate 45 grams of excess salt per day. Dietary guidelines from the "experts" say we should keep our sodium intake below 2 grams.
@@Drberg, how much potassium should we consume? I've also heard that too much potassium binds to sodium and helps to excrete sodium; that's why high potassium diets are promoted to eliminate sodium (because sodium holds the water; water retention). So, it is possible to actually consume too much potassium?
I grew up craving salt and eating it on half of a lemon. I don't crave sugar, in fact I get physically ill if I eat something super sweet. I also believe my craving for salt was also for the iodine they added to it.
I was in my 20s and spent 24hrs w/o any salt including foods with salt. My first side effect was depression, like acute suicidal for no real reason. Feelings disappeared after I went back to taking salt.
I have always thought that the reason why the Romans considered salt as important as to use is as legal tender was: 1) They knew how crucial salt was for life 2) They needed it to ferment the vegetables after the harvest that would get them through the winter. They literally couldn't live without it.
The only doctor for me that is worth ALL his salts!! He does his research, accompanying his videos with appropriate graphs, important notes and figures, to be easily understood by the layman! Thanks Doc.
@Violett Fem yes! They are in their 70.s and eighties, with high blood pressure! There “doctors told them salt causes high blood pressure , and they get enough salt from there food! 😔this is a shame ! These ladies don’t eat enough food as it is let alone enough healthy foods! Yes they are weak, one actually faints sometimes! They won’t listen to me.they say doctors know best! Maybe they might listen and open their mind to this video by Doctor Berg!👍
@@piakozaris1432 get them the book "The Salt Fix." It uses well documented research to show the dangers of a low/no salt diet. I was blown away when I learned that a low salt diet, on average, only lowers BP by about 5 points anyway, so the "reward" from that diet is nowhere near worth the risks that come with it.
apply in a 1,5l water bottle half a teaspoon of sea/stone salt for the day - do not drink more than 2l a day - salt over all your meals - do not forget potassium too
I am big, but I drink about 6 litres per day, but with added Himalayan and potassium salt mixed. On Hawaii there is a tradition to drink sea water to cleanse the gut, and that REALLY works if one is constipated or has eaten/drunk something unhealthy.
Oh my goodness, I have been on keto for two weeks and for the past two days I have been fighting exhaustion and brain fog. I have lost 8 lbs and have a lot less pain but the fatigue is really getting me down. I dont quite understand how much salt to add but I am definitely going to add some!
I have been on a high salt, high fat diet my entire 68+ years of life. I still feel like I'm in my 20s or 30s, able to work all day every day, more so than kids half my age. I'm 6'-2" and weigh 175 -180 lbs.
Went Keto a while back and lost a ton of weight, but I was having bad night time leg cramps. I thought it was potassium or magnesium deficiency so I began eating an avocado every day, but I still had cramps. Another Keto dr on youtube mentioned that nite time leg cramps were a symptom of low sodium, so I began eating Redmons real salt. Just shaking it into my mouth throughout the day. Cramps went away and haven't returned.
@@actionrick9345 Just a day or two to build up the sodium levels in my body. I also take a water pill for my heart a couple days a week, and I pee constantly when I take that. That removes a lot of salt as well, so for me it was really important to up my salt level. Are you having the same issue?
What can we really do without you Dr Berg; you keep opening our eyes to a healthier lifestyle. You are a life saver. God bless you and yours immensely IJMNA.
@@JoeJoe-yv6wc I wouldn’t salt anything, eat nothing with salt. I passed out hit a mailbox with my car, passed out making my bed, passed out taking a shower , passed out in the kitchen, no idea what was going on. It was scary. I went to the doctor, he thought it was acid reflux. I took Prilosec then bloodwork came back sodium was way low. So I added salt to my diet with medicine stop passing out. Thank goodness. I wish you well.
@@user-vk9qk5ie7t no salt vegetables, meat and eggs. That’s what I ate. I never salted anything. So I started to eat more salt, salted eggs, meat, started eating bacon.
Been doing keto and omad and blood count came back yesterday low sodium. The Doc recommended less water consumption. But after seeing this I now started sea salt with my electrolytes! Thanks Doc!
Thanks Doc, love your content. I ended up in the hospital with severe muscle contractions. Blood test indicated that not only was my sodium level too low I was also dehydrated. Water is my favorite drink and I consume copious amounts but now I use Himalayan salt on my food. I can always tell when my sodium level is too low because I experience extreme weakness and cramps in my feet and calves.
what was your sodium level? mine was low too.. under severe category.. i have palpitations, headaches, dizziness almost fainting, even anxiety or panic attacks.. fatigue with depression too. my body prefers to lie down due to how i feel....huhu
Yes I’ve passed out/blacked out periodically due to needing more salt. I just need to add more to my diet when I feel dizzy or foggy. That’s my first sign. I had a tilt table test to verify.
@@paulwiffin2452 you don’t test levels but a tilt table test done before and after the heart is sped up with a medication during the test will point to deficiency.
I stopped having salt as much as I could because my father-in-law consumed loads of salt in every meal. I believed the implication that very little to no salt is better. Yes, it has had me feeling weak. My spinal injury is enough of a nuisance without making myself weaker because of salt deficiency (I wish there was a ‘facepalm’ emoji lol). Since going keto and taking vitamin D3,K2, Magnesium,Zinc bile salts and ACV, I have regained some strength and am less tired. The thing that angers me is, I was never told about any of these things by the doctors of the NHS in whom we have placed our trust decade after decade. Now, though, I am listening to the doctors like Doctor Berg.
This is about me. I never been heavy on salt. But now, I m on OMAD, even less salt. I was so weak, my BP was 99-103 (SYS) for a month, now I take a few extra grains of Himalayan salt with water
I started Keto 4 months ago. After 2 weeks I was very tired and weak at work. It was hard to even move. After one of these types of videos I took a 1/4 tsp salt in a glass of water. It was like an energy drink, no joking! I realized on a keto diet I controlled what went into all my meals, none of which was salt. The saying goes “take this advise with a grain of salt”, take this advise with a tbsp of salt! Unless you eat processed or precooked meals, then STOP!!
I love to add pink salt or sea salt to my salads. I even sometimes add pink salt to my coffee when I am doing Keto/low carb along with MCT oil, cacao, cinnamon, and a little coconut milk...
I had a stroke a few years ago, a Gulf War Veteran, I have been following you for a while.I have agent Orange, so I’m trying to get all excess water out,
The first time I heard about avoiding salt was when my grandfather was on a salt substitute. He died in the 70s of heart disease. Until recently, we were told to avoid salt. These family members have been left behind by technology and dont watch and read things that we see on social media daily. They dont know the difference between sea salt and table salt. Educate them with articles.
My doctors keep telling to eat less salt,not that I used it much. I found out I was way low on salt less then a teaspoon a month. For years I did this thank God I found Dr. Berry.
Since changing my diet 5yrs ago, primarily because I knew something was wrong and drs were throwing my complaints into the “FIBRO MYALGIA” bag. Age eighty, 2016, rid my house of all preservative, even condiment foods😳No flours, junk, fast foods, snacks, sodas, basically, ate clean. I DID salt everything...however, as Doc mentioned, I was no longer getting the extras salts from prepackaged food. Ate huge veggie salads, some raw and others sautéed. Accidentally lost 45 lbs with out trying.(LOL) Forward to June 2021.......my body feels drained, super fatigued! Pushing my self to just prepare a meal. This am ended a 36 hr. fast which was intended to give my gut a rest, hoping that might cure this malaise. Didn’t work! This am, 7/12, tried to make lemon water and was so exhausted after squeezing lemon, I had to lie down, Popped on TV and there was my favorite Dr. telling me “You’re salt deficient...that’s why you’re so fatigued!” Bless my good Doctor, You...are the Salt of The Earth!😋
Salt pills? I didn't know that even existed. How old were you? Tell me more about that. Didn't you had regular salt that they gave you pills? What was the story? Thanks in advance.
@@user-iw6vf4vl7n You can buy salt pills at the chemist. They are slow release sodium tablets. I used to take them when I was working in a hot environment, to replace the salt lost from sweating, and also because of a medical condition which makes it hard for me to retain sodium levels.
@@user-iw6vf4vl7n It was for several summers when I was 5 to 10 years old. So we'd roll out of Seattle (on the water and known for rain) east across The Cascades to Wenatchee in the high desert, and live outside, even sleeping outside most nights. My mom and dad spent their time indoors with the her sister and her husband, and just let us swim in the pool or runaround. They had about 20 acres to roam in. I wore a swimsuit most of the time. My mom was a nurse, and she knew things like replacing salt. Smart mom.
Thanks so much for this Dr Berg, I've been having awful problems with salt. I get weak a lot and have to keep taking salt. Wondering if you wouldn't mind doing a video on diabetes insipidus? I've had symptoms of this, but it's hard to tell if it's just the effects of ketosis.
Thank you for the video suggestion. I will check with Dr. Berg about doing a video on this! You may find this video helpful: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-thRboMXI4Rc.html Dr. Berg's Support Team.
I've learned so much from you Dr Berg, always very informative videos! A heart specialist told my father not to eat any salt he died at age 78, way before his time.
When my blood pressure gets stupid ... like crazy 160(?)/114, I cook a piece of Beef & Salt it up with, Himalayan or Sea Salt, eat it & get something like: *124/78* or "better" ! Blows my mind, Everytime ...& Quickly 🤯
@@michaelsrowland It works consistently for me. Always returns me to numbers considered normal. I do remove the blood from the meat that I eat... "Koshering" it.
By accident I found out that by eating sea salt all of my post op side effects due to anesthesia (feelings of a rush of anxiety, high blood pressure, swelling in ankles) all went away. I learned that anesthesia can affect the adrenal glands that regulate those things. The minerals in sea salt benefit the adrenal glands.
