Should I be eating more salt or less?

from Age Better with Liz Earle

It's one of the most confusing nutrition debates – should you be eating more salt or less? The answer might surprise you, because it depends on your lifestyle. If you're cooking from scratch or you're very active the advice is very different than if ultra-processed foods are part of your diet. Liz explains why salt isn't the enemy, the surprising signs that reveal whether you're getting too much or too little, and why drinking plenty of water might not be hydrating you properly at all.In this episode:How to know if you need to increase or reduce your sodium intakeAre at-home teeth whitening kits safe and do they actually work?Tips for breast tenderness on HRTCan you cook with extra virgin olive oil or is it just for drizzling?What lifestyle and non-surgical options exist for managing lipedema?Links mentioned in the episode:The Salt Fix by Dr James DiNicolantonioCitizens of Soil extra virgin olive oilGet in touch with a question for Liz:Email: [email protected]: 07518 471 846More from Liz:Preorder Liz’s NEW book – How to AgeA Better Second Half Follow Liz on InstagramFollow Liz Earle Wellbeing on Instagram Hosted on Acast.
