now to a lot of people what i’m going to say  is new information we are so used to hearing that salt’s bad for the heart it’s going to  cause a heart attack it’s going to cause stroke so make sure you don’t overdo it on your salt  well that is absolutely positively not true a very credible large study called the peer study stirred  up a lot of controversy there’s over 137 000 people involved in 18 countries 667 communities so  it was a very broad population all over the place and this is what they found if you’re consuming  less than three grams of sodium per day you could be at risk for getting a heart attack and a  stroke now take a look at this graph that i have right here the world health organizations and and  many other organizations have been recommending to keep your salt in the low range between 2. 0 and  2. 4 grams that’s one teaspoon per day well just what happens that falls within the risk factor  of getting a heart attack that is considered low sodium and based on this study which i’m going to  put a link down below the optimum range of sodium is between four and five grams that’s four to five  teaspoons of salt apparently you have the least amount of heart attacks compared to either too low  or even too high and they also incidentally found that potassium is very protective on the heart the  more potassium you have the less heart attacks you have and i’ve been saying that for a long time  potassium is very very important especially for blood pressure even your kidneys i mean the only  contraindications i’m sure there’s a few others for potassium is if you’re stage five kidney  failure in that condition of course you don’t want to consume that much potassium but for most  people potassium is protective on the kidney heart and definitely will help your blood pressure now  the question is why well when you actually lower your sodium you increase a hormone called  aldosterone that’s from your adrenals and if aldosterone’s too high you can have a lot  of problems especially with blood pressure especially damage to the heart there’s even  a class of high blood pressure medication that inhibits aldosterone okay why because they  found that the higher the aldosterone the higher the blood pressure so in summary don’t be afraid  of salt especially if it’s sea salt i recommend a very good quality sea salt himalayan sea salt  is a really good one but there’s many others hey before you go if you’re benefiting  from any of my content i would love to hear about your success story  please share it in the link down below
