Big thanks to Dr. James DiNicolantonio (@DrJamesDinic) for his very thorough, eye opening book: "The Salt Fix" : amzn.to/2fzaBRk
Salt doesn't get too much attention nowadays as most people are taught that a low sodium diet is always going to be better than a high sodium diet, and that's all there is to it. However, the low salt advice that has become conventional wisdom doesn't pan out for several reasons.
If you're interested in the history surrounding salt, check out Mark Kurlansky's "Salt: A World History" : amzn.to/2wF4FMk
★I plan to do more coverage on this topic soon. There's still a lot to be said about Salt, as far as how bodily systems react to having more or less salt and how other factors like potassium intake come into play. (You may have noticed in the portion where I talked about South Korean dietary trends, heart health increased with more Sodium and more [or ample] Potassium)

I keep seeing comments asking "How is 2300mg of Salt = 5.75g????" What I'm saying in the video is "2300mg of *Sodium* ≈ 5.75g of *Salt* " - if there's a part where I mistakenly said 2300mg of Salt = 5.75g of Salt, someone please comment so I can add an annotation!

Story of origin: In olden time of Rome, the warriors serving the empire were payed with a handful of salt each day. Later, the officers in charge of distributing salt started finding the transport and preservation (from rain etc.) of the huge bulk inefficient, hence, the reward of salt was replaced by a sum of money allowing each man to buy his own. The money thus received was referred to as their 'salarium' (Latin) or salt-money. The term salarium entered into English which modified to modern day salary! The salt-money concept traveled to France where they paid the warriors with a special coin called 'sol', and the payment was known as 'solde' (also the payment of a sailor). It's no surprise the French call their soldiers, 'soldat'. The origin of the term 'soldier' for a warrior or protector of the land is related indeed. It is said to be derived from Old French 'Soudier', which in turn is derived from Medivial Latin 'soldarius'-- one working for pay. It is also said that the term is derived from the Old Latin word 'Solidus'-- a Roman Gold coin. It was called solidus for it was literally a solid coin.

Rick-James - Prior to decimalisation, British currency was represented by three symbols: £sd. The s came from solidus, although the unabbreviated term was shilling. Slashes used to write down prices, like 2/6 for 2s6d, were called solidus too. The £ for pound also came from the Latin word libra for pound, and the d from denari.

This video makes so much sense to me. I used to be pretty much addicted to salt when I was a very active kid and was moving around 3+ hours a day with my friends. I was addicted to noodles at the time because I loved the taste of salt in them. But as I got less active, I started craving it less and the government said that more salt means worst so I thought that was good but when I tried fasting, having salt reduced my headache. I'm so glad you made this video, it makes all my experiences with salt makes sense.

I mean correlation doesn't mean causation. But I gather the fact that if you use your neurones and nerve cells, then yeah it makes sense to crave more. Perhaps the baby didn't get enough salt from the mother while in uterus, then the craving arose to catch up and allow the nervous system to get sufficient supply. Did you continue to be active after salt reduction? if so, for how long were able to keep active. I mean there are so many variables, but it would be interesting to find out if there is a link to salt consumption (a limit also) for perfect neuronal function. Quick question, ever ate salty food and very quickly your body was caring for water? would you say that is an "over dose' and hence you need to consume water to wash it out. but I guess like with anything, hit the right balance....and the magic happens.

Please research and make a video on oils because there is even bigger misunderstanding on which oils to cook on and which ones are unhealthy after certain temperatures.
@LinkEX
@LinkEX 7 жыл бұрын
Well, as opposed to many grey areas when it comes to nutrition, the proper cooking temperature for oils is pretty simple. Each oil has a smoking point, where the monounsaturated fatty acids change and create carcinogenic compounds. That point is generally much lower for 'naturally' pressed oils (that still have their intense, distinct flavor) like extra virgin olive oil since hey do have far more of those than processed oils, so you better avoid cooking with that at high temperatures. Coconut oil or lard have much higher smoking points and are secure for cooking. Or simply processed oils (which are neutral in taste), though then again those might have their own share of problems due to that hexane residue.
@MilosParipovic

@@LinkEX I have researched heavily into this subject mattet. Smoking point has nothing to do with oxidation point. Oxidation can still occur even if the smoking point has not yet been reached! So beware of this. As for the healthiest oils/fats to cook in, saturated fats (butter, lard, ghee and coconut oil) are the best (and should be the only) fats/oils used for cooking! As the molecules in these substances are 'saturated', they don't break down and oxidise nearly as easily as polyunsaturated fats (i.e. your vegetable oils such as canola, sunflower, safflower, corn, soy, etc). Olive oil is a tricky one, as it's made up mainly of monounsaturated fats, so it should therefore be used sparingly for cooking as it's molecules are not as tightly held as saturated fats and therefore will oxidise easier than the saturated fats (but is better than the poly-unsaturated vegetable oils). Therefore, from the research, olive oil should only be used for cooking in low cooking temps whereas the saturated fats listed above (butter, lard, ghee, coconut oil) should be used for medium to high cooking temps. P. S. I almost only cook in butter - it's tastier and healthier! Do the same! ;D

My blood pressure went higher and higher over the years until I was well into hypertensive (165/100) and all that time I was careful with salt and even for a whole year counting sodium and taking lisinopril trying to bring it down. Nothing really worked until I started intermittent fasting to lose weight and then reduced carbs and went to a sort of keto/paleo low carb diet. At the same time I massively increased salt intake, putting as much as I wanted on everything. Within weeks my blood pressure came down to around 135/80! More salt, lower blood pressure!

About 45 years ago I worked in a mine. It was really hot. About 115 degrees every day. The company supplied salt tablets and encouraged us to take 4 or 5 throughout the day. We sweated profusely. Years later we are encouraged to reduce our salt intake. If I work out at the gym when it's really hot I feel really fatigued and just don't have the energy. One day I just happened to see a KZfaq video on salt. I went out and bought a bag of himalayan salt. Throughout the day I will take a few pieces of salt and suck it till it's gone. Delicious and a bit addictive. But, guess what? My energy levels are back and hot weather doesn't make me feel weak and tired.

I don’t know why the people who eat more salt tend to be less obese in korea (perhaps they replace kimchi with mcdonald’s?) but you can’t imply that the salt is reducing the risk of those and not even mention the confounder of obesity there.

Yeah but the study he mentioned on people with different salt intakes seems to suggest that a higher intake is preferable than the effects of low sodium intake, although I agree with you that even the study does show that eating more salt than needed has negative health effect too, I think that he is talking about WHO recommendation, which seems to be far worse for the body, inline with the papers show. Moreover is logical to think that obese people have more problems (because its true), and that asians are just healthier overall, but in another video he compares 2 communities of japanese people and explain that hypertension can be related to potassium deficiency.

My wife (girlfriend at the time) urged me to go to the hospital for this. They found that I had something called vasovagal syncope and the cardiologist encouraged me to drink more electrolytes and/or INCREASE my salt intake. Everyday I have to take care of getting out of bed or else I'll get foggy vision and potentially black out and fall over.

I had daily migraines for 2 months, and realized that it was the fact that I was eating barely any salt. I started eating extra salt and the headaches stopped the next day. I was trying to stay hydrated but water would go right through me - this doesn't happen if I put a little salt in the water. The connection with cardiovascular problems + salt is more likely due to the types of food that have high sodium in modern US diets (sugary, fatty, etc.). I cant believe doctors were just going to have me keep taking more and more medications without asking me if I ate enough salt! I am now trying to convince my chronically dehydrated mother to try more salt, and she is terrified it will raise her (already very low) blood pressure because of government messaging all her life.

I went on a low salt diet for a couple of weeks, around 600mg daily. Felt like crap and craved sugary foods, even though I hardly ever eat refined sugar and didn't have a sugar addiction. I had barely any energy, felt weak, brain so foggy, and started drinking caffeine (I didn't drink caffeine previously) just so I could function (literally). All this while sticking to my real unprocessed food diet. Went back to putting generous amounts of salt on my food and suddenly started to feel alive. Cut out the caffeine and still had energy. I had refrained from my sugar cravings, but now with salt those sugar cravings subsided to nothing. They want us not to eat salt because they want us to be addicted to sugar and caffeine.

I'm also curious, don't forget to post observation as it could be a little difficult one :) One thing i notice myself is that in order to improve diet e.g. to gain more energy or be healthier is that diets and information about them and "nutrition pieces" most of time contradicts or can be something opposite or info/data isn't logically structured of what is speculation what isn't , nor some tests can be trusted, whereby like for me in question about food, excessive info can be waste of time. Would want more books like: Pure, White and Deadly - John Yudkin 1972. But in general some things I can test myself over period of time to make own conclusion if something works as described or do not, if such tests are even possible as diet over 1/2 weeks should be somewhat the same with changing one ingredient I'm testing, where other ingredients ideally isn't contaminated with something else, where in observation of energy there can be different lifestyle factors like how much time is spent at pc, exercise or being outside or even some virus or immune system at work :) Quite ridiculous and frustrating that such important thing as food which definitely affect body so much, user must be very conscious now days of it's source and do own various tests, whereby so much unhealthy food is available in shop with unknown cultivation methods or chemical additives. Where food can be addictive where body can fail to difference if that's something what's missing or packed food trick to unnecessary consume more food that is junk anyway.

Everyone around around me eat very little salt and it got stuck to skip it, the doctors would also always say that I need less salt... 3 months back stopped listening to them and all those problems are no more... just because I started eating more salt(well and stopped eating any store brought sweats, just those I make myself or home made jam). Bottom line - eat more salt, eat fatty meats, fish, vegetables, fruits, if you can find unbleached flour you can eat as much bread as you want(artificial additives, sugar and chemicals used to bleach the flour are the reason it's so unhealthy).

Thus the biggest reason for excess sodium and high blood pressure is constantly elevated insulin, ie a high carbohydrate diet, heading towards metabolic syndrome.

Kilgore Trout Yes and they put high amounts of Caffeine in over the counter drinks targeting kids and young adults. It can raise cortisol levels and stress the adrenals besides over stimulating the body. Also it Dehydrates the body which that in itself can place havoc on the body if they don't compensate with additional water. Believe the marketing and the companies behind this know Exactly what they are doing.

@@timothye.2902 All of the negative effects you associate with Caffeine can be a positive. Spiking heart rate and blocking adenosine? That can be useful in giving you extra energy. I don't really understand how suppressing appetite is even a negative effect, it lowers your caloric intake which, unless you are actually trying to put on weight, which most people are not, it actually is a benefit. Of course it is dangerous in high amounts but so is everything.

Don't forget that in our past as a mostly agrarian society we needed much more salt because we sweated it out in our farm work in our perspiration which then needed to be replaced. Plus, foods back then were known to be rather dull, and salt help give it more flavor when eating. When I was stationed in Thailand during the Vietnam conflict we were admonished by the military doctors to take salt pills and we had a dispenser in every truck on the flight line at our Air Force base.

Um... the stomach cancer comes from the heavy drinking culture and the heavy smoking. Also as someone else noted, the fallout from all the bombs during the Korean War, which some theorize causes a lot of the thyroid cancers in Korean women. There are many factors that result in the high stomach cancer rates in Korea. It's not just the salt in the food.

I remember when I was 14ish, I used to take a handful of salt frequently and lick it out of my hand.. my mom was understandably confused about it and eventually I stopped doing it. When I reflect about that nowadays, I realized the salt itself didn’t have a special taste, it was like my body was commanding me to consume salt like how it tells you to hydrate. I’m going to eat some extra salt and see how that makes me feel, I put some in my water today and I feel really awake. Curious to see long term effects.
