In my case low sodium helps with my weight, energy and overall health. Been combining low sodium and Keto. Lost 21lbs. so far. Thank God for this channel. It has really educated me.

Some people can't have salt because of water retention like heart failure. Pink or any salt is no good. Then stick to no salt

I was with my 8 year old at the grocery yesterday and she said " Look mummy it's the mayanonese flav city uses!" 😊😊😊🤗

Thanks for this video. My cardiologist recently put me on a low sodium diet, 1800-2000 mgs/day (the daily max for others is 2300 which is 1 tsp of salt), due to a mild bout of congestive heart failure. It's rough grocery shopping and reading all the labels. Plus you have to plan out meals in advance or you just may go overboard by dinner. My cardiologist told me salt is salt, sea, kosher, they all have sodium. Also, going low sodium you should have your potassium levels checked.

How often do you go without eating? I only ask, because disabled people, like me, who live on an extremely low budget, cannot afford $5 for half a loaf of bread. Healthy=Expensive in my experience, but I am one of the people who needs to be eating healthy. Could you please do a video focusing on a food budget of under $200 per month?

“High Quality Salts” still trigger blood pressure since it is still sodium.

Every since one of my patients introduced me to your site, (with questions about bottle water), I have been interested in hearing what you have to say about the food we eat. Based on your subscriber base, I assume you represent the view of many people looking to improve the quality of their diets. Even though I may not always agree with everything you say, it’s a free country and you can say what you want, as long as it doesn’t do any harm. An example would be the bottled water segment that I first commented on. In my professional opinion, the information you provided was based on junk science, but did no harm. On the positive side, I do agree with many of your ideas, especially when it comes to highly processed foods and sugars. This salt segment however, is another story. Here much of the information you provide is not only wrong, but potentially dangerous. In particular, at 14:00 and 16:29 you claim that Himalayan, or Celtic salts won’t spike blood pressure. This statement has absolutely no basis in fact and is 100% wrong! Sodium Chloride (salt), in any form will spike BP in susceptible patients. By making such a statement you are coming dangerously close to providing medical advice and potentially harming patients who have been advised by their doctors to avoid salt. These would include those with kidney and cardiac problems, among others. As far as BP is concerned, salt, is salt. It doesn’t matter if it’s iodized table salt, (which by the way is essential in many parts of the world), kosher salt, or some exotic sea salt. All table salt is contains roughly 39% sodium and 61% chloride, by weight. Generally speaking, a gram of kosher salt will have the same amount of sodium as a gram of sea salt. The trace amounts of minerals, and potassium found in so called “sea salt” are insignificant in terms of a salt’s sodium content and has no protective effect on BP. Before you make such unfounded statements in the future, where you could potentially do harm to someone, I would suggest that you do a bit of self-study and / or consult with credentialed medical professionals. Try to avoid conformation bias. Becoming a Google expert is not a substitute for sound medical, or nutritional education. There is a reason that MD’s, RN’s and RD’s require many years of study and licensure before providing advice. I’m obviously not saying you need to go that far, but a bit of formal nutritional education might not hurt!

Thank you, I have been watching for a couple of months, and love Rosie. I am on a low sodium diet, and have used some of the items you mentioned today. Appreciate you, Art and your family.

Love all your content! Thank you for giving us so much information in every video!!

I never considered the oil quality & hidden pesticides in food before watching your videos--Thank you for educating me❣

Thank you for taking the time to make this. Your videos have helped me take better care of myself and my family. ❤️

If you have high blood pressure you should not be using salt in your cooking period. There is no good salt when you have hbp. When you're counting sodium it adds up quickly if you take everything into consideration. Yes, it's bland, but it's better than stroking out.

Thanks for this video. I’m a long time sub and have learned so much from you. I appreciate the way you repeat in all videos why a certain oil is bad for us. When I hear it 10 times I start to really remember. Also I hear your voice in my head when I shop “that spikes your blood sugar”. LOL. Your fan from Northern CA.

Finally! We need this info! Thank u flavcity 👍

Thank you for all you do. I've changed my food choices by watching your videos. Every little bit helps. Take care.

Thanks so much Bobby for such good information!😊

love this video , because I have high blood pressure this has given me many choices to look for at the grocery store thanks bobby your videos are excellent and super helpful 👍😊

The only way I found that keeps my sodium levels down is to eat one meal a day with an occasional low sodium snack during the week. That way the one meal I allow myself per day can have some actual flavor. I also make sure my meals are 20-24 hours apart to allow my body time to release the sodium from the previous day. My daily meal is dinner and on most days I try not to exceed 500 -750 mg per meal on most days. I will allow for up to 1000 mg but not often. Sat. or Sun. I will splurge on my favorite fast food but during the week I try to cook my own meals. Along with limiting sugary drinks, eating like this has kept my weight down for about 10 years now.

Heart failure patient here and it's tough!

Would love to see a cookbook for baking from Desi❤️. I have enjoyed all the baked goods in your current book!!

❤️ the morning videos on the weekend!

This was great information, thank you for making this video. I’m a new subscriber 😊

Thank you sooo much for posting and including us low sodium folks. I also found a Yoplait Yogurt with few ingredients and only 20 mg of sodium per serving. It’s hard to find but it’s good. It only comes in Plain and it’s called YQ Protein. I’m actually going to try and make my own, which I do a lot of now, but this is a good go-to otherwise. I don’t know if Bobby would approve, lol, but it’s good stuff 👍

YAY!!!!!! Thank you!!!! Been waiting for this 😍😍😍

Great job, I am becoming more aware of my sodium intake because of hypertension. Thanks for the info.

Wow I love what you do,I'm also doing the diabetic and low sodium diet.Great job👍

Thanks for the tip. Very good tip on all the groceries

So glad you did this video and gave me ideas and insights into what's involved. Just got told by Dr. to go low sodium.

Well your video was so informing I am definitely going to subscribe and take your advice and start shopping a lot better thank you so very much

Thanks for doing this video FlavCity

Thank you for sharing keep up the good work

Thank you for your content!

I'm 44 and been training/working out for the last 24 yrs and I suffer from HBP. Both my parents have it and families as well. I was doomed to have it no matter what. This video helps me A LOT so thank you!

You've been a great help.....Thank you so much

I really needed to see this. Going to chuck my iodized table salt. TFS!

Good morning Bobby, I usually use Maldon salt will you consider also a good salt?

Hey there so you two do such an awesome job in informing us, how the quality of our food makes an impact on our bodies..well can you two make a video discussing your own diets and health and when and why you passion for "high quality" food, haha, grew and how is changed your lifestyle

Thanks for all your hard work Bobby. My family really enjoys your videos. My dad thought you were 30 years old. 😀

Thank you for all the useful information!

I have high blood pressure I appreciate this video.Im a huge fan period!

I need to check my local grocery store which foods are low sodium or not love your stories and food made me hungry as always love your hauls videos sooooooooo much drooling over my samsung galaxy j4 love you dad and stories always brighten up my day love your recipes making me hungry Thanks Ramya

I used to use sea salt, Cornish as I live in Devon, England, neighbouring county. Unfortunately there is now plastic found in sea salt. Himalayan is the only way I go now. Thank you for your good knowledge, I'm now reading the ingredients, fully.

Mad love from NYC love your Channel 👍

Thanks Bobby for doing a video on this topic. I do have high blood pressure and I need to know what foods and spices I can use. My only question is can I use the 365 sea salt? Also I plan on getting some Amy products. Kisses to you Art😘

Great video. You guys are the best!!!!

Hey there amazing family... The Ezekiel sprouted bread you showed contains organic wheat gluten. Does that not affect someone who has gluten issues?

Hi Bobby! I wanted you to tell us more about the importance of ‘iodine’ in our diets. Heard it’s more available in and can be found in ‘iodine salt’. Are they the only reasonable options?

I would love for you guys to do a video on what pregnant women should be eating after the first trimester and more baby super food videos with recipes. I’m going to be a first time dad!! MADD loveeee

Hello, u think u could do a video on frozen waffles and other breakfast items?

I just wanna shoutout to the person who’s behind the pun-tastic prints on your shirts one word: genius!!! Well done ☺️

Great video bro. Headed to Whole Foods now!!

Thank you for the information! I'm cooking low sodium foods for my wife with kidney disease. I've learned from you much!🙏

Sorry Bobby, salt is salt regardless of the source. All those fancy salts don't have a milligram less of sodium chloride than ordinary table salt. They ALL affect blood pressure. Some people are simply more resistant to salt than other folks. But considering that 74 to 82 Percent (depending on which study you believe) of all people over the age of 65 have high blood pressure salt over time pretty much affects everyone.

So happy with your utubes blessings and love

My husband has heart failure so this is up my alley. Thanks👏✌👍

Still have to watch for potassium when the label says no sodium because usually it replaces sodium with quite large amount of potassium and it can be harmful for some people with health concerns

Thanks. Love all the info. New follower here.

I would love to see a cooking video on ways to flavor food on a low to no sodium diet. I use a lot of citrus fruit and even though spicy can spike bp I use peppers. They dont seem to spike my bp but it may for other people. What works for myself to lower bp I drink a lot of hibiscus tea and eat oatmeal with banana and dark berries. High potassium foods .. chia seeds.. drink lots of water and keep stress down.

Thank you for talking about low sodium options! I am on a strict low sodium diet due to a medical condition (Meniere's Disease). A spike in sodium for me can cause a drop attack or days of unrelenting vertigo.

Thanks for your help with everything. Regarding salt: what about IODINE? Do we need it, or not, should salt have it?

Thanks, CHF people need low sodium diet also. We live near a small Whole Foods store without the great selection you have.. Very hard to find the great selection of Amy’s products you have.

Great advice, it’s always useful to learn more about low sodium foods

Bobby how do you feel about the Himalayan pink salt you can get from Costco for ppl watching their blood pressure?

Thanks for showing low salt items.. I have kidney disease and this was very helpful ❤

I was looking for Himalayn pink salt that I could shake out of the salt shaker container when I came across Himalalyan Reduced Sodium Pink Salt Mix which has ingredients Himalayan Pink Salt, Potassium Chloried, Glutamic Acid, Lysine, Magnesium Carbonate. Is the reduced soidum pink salt ok with all these chemicals or should i just use the Himalayan Pink Salt with the grinder.

buy some organic peas or beans and veggies and make your own soup.. no sodium..

Hey guys, #Flavcityfam ✌🏼❤️. I do love Amy’s, when I don’t have time to make lunch for work, I grab some Amy’s! There’s still enough can foods here but people do love their TP! It’s pure madness!🧻🧻 Stay safe & healthy guys. 💟☮️ love to Desi & Rose and of course #UncleFaturo 👱🏻‍♂️📹👀

Just found your channel. Good stuff!

Thank you. Very useful video.

what about Redmond salt ? i use that...Great video really learned alot...

Sodium is so hard to avoid. This info is very welcome

I subscribed. Ty for this!

Thank u needed this weekend info ❤

Where do you get your funny clever T-shirt? Love all of your play on words things, love to buy’m?

The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 mg a day and moving toward an ideal limit of no more than 1,500 mg per day for most adults. The average american consumes 3,400 mg . All salts are essentially sodium-chloride. Himalayan salt is 95 to 98% sodium chloride. The trace minerals are insignificant at 2% so are unlikely to provide you with any health benefits whatsoever. Table salt is a major dietary source of iodine, so if you're using pink Himalayan salt, you will need to get iodine from other foods. Not getting enough iodine in your diet can lead to problems with your thyroid and developmental disabilities. That is why in the 1920 it was added to salt. That said, I do appreciate that you are listening to your subscribers and their concerns. Please continue to note the sodium in the products that you discuss in future videos.

Thabk you so much for making this video. My boyfriend has high blood pressure and I'm trying to figure out what to eat and cook

The Fodmap diet brings your blood pressure down too. Under Fodmap, your aim is to eliminate certain sugars from your diet that may be causing indigestion. For example the sugar found in the stems of broccoli can cause extreme gas in some people. An unanticipated benefit of the diet is lower blood pressure. It happened to me.

Thank you. My husband has high blood pressure. Your video is very informative. I realize that I have to look at more then just the sodium content. Can you let me know what items as far as condiments and also I have a recipe that calls for bratwurst but it has a large amount of sodium. Is there a brand that does not have alot of sodium :) Also what something like pickled cabbage which is also one of the ingredients in the recipe. :) It is really so surprising how much sodium is in everything :(

i really appreiciate this video i have stage three kidney disease and i am a "kindergarten" student when it comes to low sodium food

I went to Trader Joe's looking for the Amy's dinner , and then Fareway , i'll try Hyvee and Wal mart next. Thank you for the info

I've been trying to do low sodium and I found a dryer apple cinnamon snack at a store on Texas called HEB. The name on the package is Bare. The ingredients are apple and cinnamon. That's it. They are really good.

EGPA and vertigo need low sodium diets. Thanks for info

Love your videos!

If on a low sodium diet you would not cook with any, I repeat would not cook with any added salt. Use herbs and other no salt seasonings! You will not miss the salt, because you are tasting the real flavor of food.

I thought that I had subscribed to you a while a go, turns out I was wrong. You just got a like, and another subscribe! Thank you for your great in depth videos.

Thx , going to check sodium on my bread now , oh yeah , checking out the Amy's . I know , wish I could find organic can lima beans .

Once you open the Ezekiel bread do you then refreeze it? When it comes to added sugar in a product when it lists the sugar and then additional Sugar. Which is the total amount: the first listed or the added sugar ?

Frozen vegetables are very often completely free of ANY added salt. These are so much better than most any canned vegetables, except for Hunt's No Sodium Added tomato line and Eden canned beans.

I am on a not intense BP med, but I still want to get off it. I have a consultation with my doctor in 5 weeks. You can bet I'm going to be on serious salt patrol until then. This video was a great place to start!

Question, what about MSG it's been in Asian cuisine for a very long time. A little goes a long way. What are your thoughts?

Does tap water contain sodium? I know in my area the water from our river eventually ends up in our spigot. Does the processing of the water (to clean it) contain sodium? Should I use filtered water to, for example, boil foods?

Love the video thank you

on his comment about pink salt- kidney.org.au/cms_uploads/docs/salt-and-your-kidneys-fact-sheet--kidney-health-australia.pdf ----- Common salt myths Some salts are advertised as having special health benefits from the minerals they contain. These include sea salt and Himalayan salt. These salts contain as much sodium as regular salt. The amounts of minerals present in these salts very small, and can be easily found in a wide range of other healthy foods.

Very useful information

I just listed to be The Nameless City by Lovecraft on audiobook. Pretty short but very cool.
