hi guys in this video we’re gonna talk about low salt and insulin resistance okay I don’t know if you realize this but we need salt in our diet it’s a requirement there are certain rdas for sodium which by the way salt is composed of sodium and chloride so if you take salt you have 40% sodium and 60% chloride so in other words you need if we talk about sodium 2300 milligrams every single day so you would have to consume one teaspoon of salt to get enough sodium to meet your requirements okay so we need sodium people are so freaked out about sodium like oh my gosh it’s gonna kill me bla bla bla it’s gonna cause high blood pressure but not significantly but here’s what you need to know a low salt diet can worsen insulin resistance a low potassium diet can worsen insulin resistance and by the way if your salt sensitive what that really means is you potassium deficient you don’t need to lower your sodium you need to increase your potassium which will naturally bring the sodium down in the right ratios because we need four times as much potassium as we do sodium alright but realize that when you’re on a ketogenic diet or you’re in a minute fasting you need at least one teaspoon of salt to also improve insulin resistance which will then help you handle the insulin which is usually too high creating the problem people with high insulin typically get high blood pressure so and then the doctor says we need to reduce the sodium no you don’t you need to fix instant resistance and take more potassium not lower your sodium below the requirements that you need because low salt will worsen insulin resistance and keep your blood pressure from going down and one more thing always consume sea salt not table salt thanks for watching you know I just wanted to take a moment out to thank you for your amazing feedback that you guys are giving me it’s just mind-blowing the successes the winds I created a link down below so you can actually type out your full success story and if you have a before and after with weight loss that would be awesome and if you don’t have a success with weight but other things just put an image of yourself and your personal success story and I would love to read it and also share it with others so I want to just thank you in advance for doing that but there’s a link down below fill it out I can’t wait to read it
