I have a bicuspid heart valve with a heart murmur. For most part I have followed Canada's food guide quite well and believed I ate better than most people eating lower salt and lower fat, eating breakfast starting at 6am with small meals every few hours (about 5-6 meals)as was recommended by trainers the gym. Although I have always exercised /worked out since I was a teen, my endurance was always poor. I got fatigued quickly and my muscles would just give up with lactic acid. My heart would beat so hard I could feel it in my ears . My heart rate would take a long time to come back down all whilst breathing like an obese person. I also had arthritis for most of my adult life and religiously took glucosamine chondroitin supplements daily to ease pain. In 2017 I fell ill for about a month from faulty dental work which was hard to diagnose . I went through many diagnostic tests ,one of which discovered the source of my heart murmur. It was from having a odd genetic defect (bicuspid) with my heart valve which was beginning to show buildup of calcification. I was given the grim news that in a few years I would most likely need to get the valve replaced with a pig valve or some kind of synthetic. Either of which would require me to be on immune suppression meds for the rest of my life. 2020 rolls in with a pandemic and I feel like a bag I hot garbage . Like most people I started watching more Netflix. I happened upon a documentary called "what's with wheat" . I stopped eating gluten just for fun and wow! I started feeling really good. Shortly after I discovered dr. Erik berg, dr. Jason Fung and dr.Stan Ekberg. I started following some of the their advice and I was amazed at how quickly my health, my body and my mind changed. For many people these past 2 years were the worst in their lives. For me they have been the best. All because I took a chance and got away from listening to traditional doctors and the false beliefs that they perpetuate. These KZfaq doctors who create these videos have helped so many people for free. Thank you for all you have done! It's 2022, I'm still rocking the same shitty heart valve with a resting heart rate under 60 bpm and my arthritis is gone. I could go on for hours but it's suppertime and it's my one and only meal for the day.. ..can someone please pass me the salt?

All my mother's life she was told she needed to reduce her salt intake as she was told she had hypertension. She went on blood pressure meds, along with all the meds to counteract the side effects of said blood pressure meds: diuretics, etc. She ended up with type II diabetes and went on meds for that. Over the decades she was always thirsty, carried water around with her wherever she went. Fatigue also plagued her. In the last decade of her life, she was diagnosed with an enlarged heart and congestive heart failure. She died at the age of 74. All because she kept her salt very, very low and ate carbs like crazy. Her own mother, on the other hand, added salt liberally and ate a far more traditional diet, and was never on any medications. She died of natural cause at the age of 92. Go figure 🤷‍♀

This makes so much sense. Been on a high salt diet as long as I can remember and still don’t have high blood pressure (I’m mid 40s). I’ve always been yelled at to lower my salt intake (by parents, doctors, other family members) but I just love my salt too much 🥰. In recent years I started to try lowering my salt intake because I was getting scared about maybe getting high blood pressure if I don’t cut back, but now looks like I don’t have to.

Dr. David Brownstein found that putting his patients (who'd been taken off salt by other doctors) on UNREFINED salt, their BP declined & they were healthier. But he makes it clear that it cannot be regular chemically-stripped table salt, it must be unrefined salt like Himalayan Salt, Real Salt, Celtic Sea Salt -- minerals intact! In fact, he wrote a book on it called Salt Your Way To Health!

One thing that's so difficult with nutrition and health outcomes/mortality studies is that there are so many variables to consider besides dietary intake, which Dr. Fung touched upon here. But knowing the importance of quality salt for health, which is supported by thousands of years of written historical data, and a WHOLE food diet, maybe what we need is just a health dose of common sense more than studies. Thanks Dr. Fung for your grounded wisdom.

Nutrition is not a rigorous science, that’s why is seen with disdain by us in the exact sciences. The majority of medical/nutritional publications have serious problems with statistical analysis and methodology.

@Kyarrix 2 жыл бұрын

@@di3486 If you regard nutrition with disdain and refer to yourself as "us in the exact sciences", the problem is with you, not with Dr Fung or anyone who does research in this area. You gave it away with the word disdain. Your disdain unfortunately comes from a place of ego and ignorance. The other sciences that you regard as exact, aren't. Your idea that any one science or area of knowledge is inherently more valuable is wrong. Nutrition is an extremely valuable and exacting area of study. It's also very important because our lives and health rely upon it. The problem we have is inaccurate information promulgated by entities with vested interests. You might be interested in learning about the history of how we got the nutrition pyramid we have, what Ancel Keys did in the 50s with the seven countries study. The point I'm trying to make is that nutrition is indeed a rigorous area of study and that holding disdain for any discipline based on the erroneous belief that one's own discipline is more worthwhile is both hubris and a mistake.

Considered to be on par with smoking. The low salt thing was almost as bad as the low fat thing that started back in the 70s. All based on dodgy science and politics.

Doctor Fung is the best. I had one cardiologist pushing vegan diets, one says there is no proof saturated fat is bad. I see the low fat crew getting fatter and fatter. All they look at is ldl.

As a child I used to eat course salt, a few chunky granules. So satisfying.

My cardiologist told me to not eat salt and also said my veins were old and could not carry water away from my legs. He asked me to keep my water consumption very low to cure my swollen feet. Also, he gave me a diuretic . I have diabetes. I found living like that very hard and unpleasant. The best thing that has happened is fasting. I don't have swollen legs anymore. I enjoy all the water I want, and I have lost 14 pounds in my first 31 days. I am off totally my minimum daily 65+ units of insulin. I stopped trulicity and all the painful side effects of that drug. I still take jardiance daily but not for long! I have found fasting is a life saving lifestyle! I will never go back to that idiot Cardiologist! I have lost faith in most doctors. Thank you, Dr. FUNG

In 2017 Dr DiNicolantonio wrote The Salt Fix. Glad to hear you also are challenging how a low salt diet may not necessarily reduce heart disease.

Very interesting! I don't completely adhere to a low-salt diet although I try not to add salt to food plus I buy low-sodium canned food. However i also eat salty foods too, esp PCC Deli meals. I am 68 yo, am being treated for hypertension, monitoring my FMD, and stenosis of carotids. I eat healthily and exercise. Thanks for your informative video. Jenny

Canned food has additives, avoidance of such food is usually better

Are there any good studies showing how increasing potassium lowers blood pressure?

I had high sodium fried rice with 3 scoop of high salt sauerkraut and its juice two days ago the next day my BP was so high that I felt like I was gonna die as my throat were so dry even after drinking water it felt like someone is choking me hard and I felt darkness inside my eyes. So I check in the hospital my vitals were normal but my BP stay high even after taking a BP medication. Through out the day I felt like blood is rushing through my head. Then I start eating high potassium diet like banana, green mung beans, raisins and it's water. That calm down my BP. My gosh I have learned my lesson never again I want high sodium food.

insulin drives high blood pressure by narrowing the arteries. You cannot have hbp without high insulin.

One doesn't need to understand nutrition if you could just look at history of how valuable and important SALT really was. We crave salt naturally. The American Heart Association is a disgrace.

I think the best meaning behind high blood pressure: this is a protection againts freezing/cold. Just think about it - narrowing of blood vessels increases the speed of circulation causing high blood pressure; faster circulation prevent freezing - increasing salt: this is the best way againts freezing - insomnia: if you sleep in cold you are going to freeze

Some time back in the 90's the Oregon Health and Science University conducted a trial to determine the effects of reducing salt intake. I recall well the results because they came close to telling us nothing. Approximately 1/3 of the participants saw their BP go down. Roughly the same percentage saw no effect on BP. And the other roughly 1/3 saw their BP go up.

My heart beat count used to be over 90 when I followed the low salt diet. After I eat much salt, especially to counter high potassium in my vegan diet,my heart beat count went back to 60-70. Thank you Dr Fung for the shocking fact.

My late father died with no heart problems after decades on a low salt diet, depriving himself of delicious food for nothing. I’ve been a type 1 diabetic since 1970, and still have more insulin resistance than I’d like despite over a year on a near-carnivore diet. I will eat as much salt as I find palatable. The utter terror of dietary salt among some creators of videos here on KZfaq is striking. Some people actually feel ill after eating salty food: they’re convinced it’s toxic, and make it clear that anyone eating lots of salt is no better than suicidal. Deep faith there.

There are a few things as delicious as avocado drizzled with a little fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt. Or a steak. Or both. I can't do the carnivore diet, I find myself craving fresh food. Blackberries, avocado, tomatoes and spinach sauteed in a little butter with my eggs, the very occasional sumo orange. Very occasional because there's a lot of sugar in them. I'm not criticizing your diet, I know it can work for people. We're all different. The one thing we have in common, we all need to avoid processed food, added sugar and so-called heart healthy vegetable oils that aren't healthy. I hope the carnivore diet is working well for you. You're right about the over the top reactions to salt. I also use the amount of salt that is palatable to me. Good health!

Dr. Fung. Can you do a video on advice for fasting by people who are diagnosed as Super Morbibly Obese?

@pocopico7409 2 жыл бұрын

Luv ya, doc! Thanks for all you do for us and mankind in general! Thank you for telling us the truth about things, when very few other doctors do. You’re one of the few truly good guys! 😀😏 I do still wish you would address the effect of salt on water retention and swelling in the lower extremities. There’s no doubt that higher sodium content of food causes water retention and swelling. And surely, that cannot be good for us. How does this relate to the overall consumption of salt and health?

@karenohanlon4183 2 жыл бұрын

The water retention could be caused by high processed foods containing both salt and sugar. Or it may also be caused by eating a lot of foods containing flour Again it could be eating a food the body is allergic too maybe casin in cheese. A lot of advice from expert experts would advise elimination diet to see what causes the unwanted reaction. Dr Berry promotes proper human diet and like Dr Fung promotes fasting. I do fast and my swollen legs and feet become normal. My BP is low normal. I eat one meal per day meat/veg no bread pasta, crackers. No swelling, no holding on to water. But if I eat highly processed white foods or instant anything or junk food. Hello big swollen extremities. So for me its study what is causing the swelling in yourself. Then avoid those things. If you consider this video Dr Fung is providing the Data For us to interpret. I would say that Japans high salt verses USA junk food nation is very telling. Good Luck.

@@karenohanlon4183: Very nice and helpful write-up, Karen. 👍 My reaction to fasting and/or eating properly is the same as yours. When I eat right, my body responds like it should, and when I don’t eat right, my body lets me know very clearly, and almost immediately. Eating right is the key to health, there’s just no doubt about it. And this is why I am so grateful to Dr. Fung, not just for my own health, but others’ health as well.
