In this video, we’re going to talk about the first symptom of a salt deficiency. The first symptom of sodium deficiency is feeling weak or tired.

Fun facts: Salad in Latin means salted greens. Salary in Latin means salt.

You should never consume refined salt. Instead, have organic sea salt. Refined salt only contains sodium chloride—it doesn’t contain the other vital minerals.

One role of sodium in the body is to create hydrochloric acid (HCL) to help digest protein, break down minerals, and kill off pathogens. Many people are low in HCL because they don’t consume enough salt.

The average person needs a minimum of 1 tsp. of sea salt per day. If you exercise or do keto, you will need more than this.

Low sodium diets that have you drinking lots of water can dilute the salt and flush it from your body, leaving you deficient in sodium. Additionally, a high-carb diet can cause you to retain sodium in the wrong places.

If you notice that you feel weak or tired, try increasing your sodium and see if the problems go away.

An electrolyte powder can help replenish your sodium and other electrolytes.

Sodium is crucial for normal energy levels because it…
• Excites the cardiac muscle
• Regulates calcium
• Is involved in the sodium-potassium pump
• Is vital to creating energy in the mitochondria

One last fun fact—sea water is virtually identical to the watery portion of your blood!

In summary, make sure you have enough sodium in your diet by having at least one teaspoon of organic sea salt a day to support healthy energy levels and other low-sodium symptoms.

Can we jus take a moment to appreciate how this Dr doesn't add 60 ads or even 1 ad in his videos? Jus gives free, helpful information, efficiently and effectively in a way where everyone can comprehend. ❤

(I truly needed this video after a week of eliminating all salt, sugar and processed food from my diet. Now I know how to slowly introduce it back in.)

I just recently spent 6 weeks feeling so fatigued, rundown and just overall felt horrible. After 4 weeks I finally went to the doctor. She examined me and said "it's just allergies. Pick your favorite allergy medicine and ride it out." I explained to her that I have had allergy and sinus issues since I was young and have never felt like that before due to allergies. I continued to feel horrible and one night I was watching YouTube and ran across a video similar to this that had the majority of my symptoms listed. Low salt. I started using salt and have felt completely new compared to how I had felt for the previous 6 weeks. I'm about to lose hope in doctors.

I avoided salt in the past, because I believed it would make my heart explode. Then I learned My Heart Will Go On from Saline Dion.

We are the salt of the earth. If we lose our saltiness....what good are we?

Most elderly in my family are afraid of salt, but consume sugar any time in any form and in any amount. 😄

I have just started adding pink Himalayan salt to my food last week. Immediately my dehydration went away. Also midnight trips to urinate were down 50-60%. Sleep improved unbelievably also. Cant believe the positive changes it made

My mother was on a low salt diet, drinking lots of water, taking diuretics and eating high carb. Her sodium levels dropped so low she developed acute psychosis. She was convinced explosives had been planted in our house and many many cops came. She has schizophrenia, so she is predisposed to psychosis, but the psychiatrist who evaluated her (in his 70s) said she had the lowest sodium levels he has ever seen. She was hospitalized for 3 or 4 days and made a full recovery.

You are describing my mother... Poor dear didn't make the century because she believed in "God the Doctor". COPD, diabetes...
Low sodium diet, restricted liquids, meds and more meds and insulin shots (which might have been avoided if the nursing home had offered a low carb diet instead of one centered around starch based proteins and unlimited sugar access). She craved salt and denied it. I found out why.
I took her out to lunch (so to speak) one Mother's Day. She chose the restaurant and ordered a "fish fillet" sandwich with fries (didn't finish either) and a soda. Loved it! By the time we got back to the nursing home her ankles had swollen to the point that when she bumped on on the edge of her bed the skin split and oozed clear fluid.
It was a slow spiral downhill from there. I could see the imbalance in her system was not going to be addressed. That low salt diet had been ongoing since I was an adolescent and she had high blood pressure. She took the diuretics and avoided salt, lived on that damned low protein diet (to protect her kidneys!) and spent the last years of her life being wheeled about in a wheelchair, too weak to walk.
I am working overtime to make sure this is not going to happen to me.
Thanks for the thumbs up on Salt. I've always salted heavily and don't mind supplementing with potassium to balance it.

I remember my grandfather coming in from working in the outdoors on hot summer days and poring salt the size of a dime in the palm of his hand, lick it and then drink water to wash it down. Now that I am older, I do the same, only I use Himalayan pink salt and filtered water.

I watched this video about 8 days ago and learned why I had developed an irregular heart beat. I live alone and exercise total control over my diet. Being very health conscious I eliminated all salt. I don't mean a low sodium diet. I mean a zero sodium diet. After I purchased Himalayan sea salt and ingested the irregular heart beat disappeared. Thank you Dr. Berg for the valuable information.

I am so grateful for this channel, nowadays there are so many people who preach pretty much the opposite of these things.

As a child of the 60's, salt was explained as a source of high blood pressure, and sugar was described as a natural flavor enhancer. It wasn't until the mid 90's that research demonstrated that sea salt is good for health. and that sugars are the cause of most arterial related diseases. Most of my generation still haven't caught up.

🧂 If I get overheated, i feel terrible and will later get a migraine headache. I recently learned that if I take electrolytes, or even put a package of salt into a lemonade if electrolytes are not available, I can endure the heat so much better. Who knew.

We get salt from my daughter in Peru. It's pink and comes straight off the mountain at Machu Pichu. Incredible stuff.

Regarding salt types beware of these things:
- microplastics in sea-salt
- no iodine in himalayan salt

Now that it's the summer I add a large pinch to my water every morning and have noticed that I feel 1000 times better, I'm not as dizzy or fatigued as I was before.

I "gave up" salt in 1979 at the urging of my college roommate. (He gave up recreational drugs as his part of the deal.) Shortly after I graduated I developed health problems; specifically what turned out to be migraines, but with nausea so overwhelming the headache that it took a while to diagnose. Eventually they went away. 40 years later (in a recent video) Dr. Berg points out that this can be a side effect of salt deficiency. I needed to know that 4 decades ago.
