Completely WRONG About Salt (New Study)

This is crazy. Systems thinking is needed. Electrolytes work as a group. Magnesium antagonises Calcium. Potassium antagonises Sodium. But only with enough magnesium around can potassium function as required. Sodium should not be looked at in isolation as it is the relationships between all four that is needed. The Framington Study clearly indicates it is not low sodium but rather high magnesium and potassium needed for heart health.

I'm stuck trying to imagine the tiny little blood-pressure cuffs they used on these mice.

I found an interesting that none of these studies consider what the rest of the diet is. I feel like that’s critically important. You can’t just take sodium and isolate it.

Just wanted to let you know that I started doing your daily arugula and found that it had the same effect as the beet juice. My blood pressure has been on an average of 110/62. I also keep an eye on my sodium intake so this info today was really great to hear. Thank you!

In that Chinese salt substitute study, I wonder how much the improvement comes from the sodium reduction and how much comes from the potassium increase.

Interesting that process ed food is usually poor in potassium.

Some of us workout and sweat a lot

Due to being over weight with high blood pressure, I was on a low sodium diet. One day out of the blue, I collapsed and thought I was having a stroke. Luckily, I made it to the hospital in time where they discovered that I had low sodium. Apparently, it can mimic a stroke. So I increased my sodium intake quite a bit. Now I'm loosing weight and my blood pressure has come down. The moral is, every person is different and the most important thing is to have the right balance of electrolytes for your body.

Hyponatremia is not all that unusual in endurance athletes. In summer I add about 4,000 mg of sodium to a healthy diet. Without that I start experiencing the beginnings of hyponatremia! I run thousands of miles per year (age 79) even at 120°F in the Mojave Desert. It is obvious what happens to the salt, my shirt is crusted with it. In fact, I have found that most medical research does not apply to athletes like myself. I do not run marathons, not good for oneself, but run 3-6 miles per run, and many of them, multiple times per day. Runners that collapse and sometimes die at the end of marathons generally do so from hyponatremia according to studies of these people. I think this applies to anyone who exerts themselves in high temperatures for any reason. During the building of Hoover Dam the workers were given salt tablets as they were experiencing hyponatremia. I am very suspicious of most studies because they are run on malnourished, borderline sick people…average Americans.
