Is Natural Salt Bad For Health? The Essential Mineral Medicine Ignores

from Foodnourish Deep Dives · host Pavlos Giorkas

In today's episode we're tackling the controversial "war on salt" waged by the medical establishment for 50 years, despite existing evidence not supporting the dangers often claimed.We explore why medicine focuses relentlessly on salt restriction when studies show the link between drastic salt reduction and lowering blood pressure is tenuous.You will learn why natural salt is essential for health, and how chronically low sodium levels (hyponatremia) are a serious and common issue in hospitalized patients. Furthermore, we discuss how salt restriction can cause issues like fatigue, lightheadedness, and increase the risk of dying.Finally, we highlight why choosing natural salts is critical, as they provide necessary minerals and avoid problematic additives found in refined salts.Reference:https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/what-they-never-tell-us-about-salt? on What They Never Tell Us About Salt.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/foodnourish-deep-dives--6602003/support.🤗 Support the show: Become a supporter for just 2€ per month to remove advertisements and help us continue bringing interesting topics while confronting mainstream narratives on health. Support FoodNourish Deep DivesThis episode includes AI-generated content.
