Thanks for the health tips.
I love these podcasts.
I can do almost everything Dr. Gregor recommends, but I can’t go low salt. I just can’t.
Well obviously it’s bad for blood pressure etc but a little salt ( I can t say exactly how much, I think it depends on a gazillion factor s from person to person) is actually NECESSARY. I say that because after 2 years of strictly vegan (and mostly raw food) I ended up having low blood pressure and thyroid function which after much research I found out was easily remediable through a bit of salt and increase of water and I was recommended some fish but haven’t fallen for it ( not yet😅)….. I think the whole fiasco of vegan lifestyle is that these tiny tests of micro nutrients like b12 , iodine etc are not so practical at least where I live. … Anyone can relate?
Ideally, what should be your sodium level in your blood work?
There’s no reason you should worry about having lower blood pressure as long as you’re not fainting when you stand up. It’s actually healthy to have lower blood pressure and the average American. As for iodine, a teaspoon of Wakami each day gives you more than enough. Anyone who goes on a vegan diet needs to be aware of the amount of B12 they’re getting and supplement with it regularly. Dr. Gregor has many videos on this and he generally recommends a minimum of 50 µg a day or 2000 once a week
@@paulcohen6727 thanks, what is wakami?

1:06 – I don’t believe it.
I don’t either lol 😂
It’s true! I didn’t think it would be either but I had no choice
Believe it or not, it is a fact indeed!
What if we sweat a lot as athletes or we go to sauna every day ???
Nope. I love MSG and salt too much. Besides, I need more than the average adult because of a specific med that depletes me of sodium lol.
MSG is a neurotoxin.
You don’t love it. It tricks your brain into thinking you love it; it literally triggers your taste pleasure center.
Good luck!

How do you feel about potassium chloride replacement? Like no salt and other?
According to previous videos, potassium salt is recommended as a replacement. Not recommended for putting on watermelon for him personally, though.
@@chiyerano awesome, thanks!
Salt is important for athletes. It’s an electrolyte that is excreted during exercise.
High blood pressure is from stiff arteries from high fat diets, lack of exercise, atherosclerosis, and not eating fruits and vegetables that keep cells healthy.
Actually, when we perspire, we lose mostly potassium and magnesium rather than sodium.
Potassium salt is important for athletes.
4:43 – We all have low blood pressure here despite lots of salt, but autoimmunity runs in our families. Are there any plant foods that can specifically counteract the negative effect of salt on the helper 17 cells?
I decided to give up salt a few decades ago. At first everything tasted like cardboard but eventually I started noticing subtle flavors in my foods that I had never experienced before. That’s why I would disagree with Dr. Greger’s Advice to substitute other spices for salt. If you do that, you won’t have the experience of noticing the subtle flavors that are naturally found in foods that you’ve never taste before. You will also experience how terrible salty food really tastes If someone happens to offer you something with a lot of salt added.
Potassium citrate doesn’t have a taste, but potassium chloride does. Why would I ever choose potassium chloride?

The YT inquisition is forbidding me from posting a comment on the “medical intervention” of 21-23. I suggest that your old update on nutritionfacts on the subject should be revised as is has proven to be otherwise than stated. Sorry for lack of clarity since youtube will delete my comment if i try to be more detailed..
Very interesting, from one who suffers from exercise/nocturnal asthma… always working to reduce it keeping a food diary. Basically taking notes after a bad night… ok what did I eat
Processed food manufacturers need to hear from consumers that less ADDED chemicals, sugar, oil and salt is wanted in their food products.
Why is there so much ADDED sugar in everything, even bread. That’s just crazy
Email, text, tweet or phone your favorite producer of poison and let them know consumers want less salt, oils and sugars in their products.
Let their customer service department know that all the extra added salt, oil and sugar is not necessary or desired and is causing health issues.
Reduce or eliminate highly processed food from your diet if you can.
SOS, SALT, OIL and SUGAR ——processed foods and restaurant foods have too much of them.
Seems like too few people cook and eat at home.
