Andrew Huberman: What You've Been Told About Salt Is a Lie #shorts

[OffTheWagons]

I used to drink a little salt and lemon in my water!! Didn't know anyone else did that

[mmm]

I was playing squats today, and after I finished my second repp, I felt like all the blood in my head just isn’t there. Dizziness and blurry vision as well. I went and got some Iron sources, didn’t help at all. I then realized that I had forgotten to put any salt into my eggs for breakfast. I hadn’t had any salt all day. I went back home, got some extra salt with my lunch, and everything is alright. I used to think that salt is bad, it’s going to kill me. But no, it’s good if you take what you need, bad if you take too much.

Thank you for this, especially the bit about low sodium vs hypoglycemia.

The lemon actually compliments the electrolytes in sea salt to make a beverage way bttr for you than gatorade

[musashibudo]

I make my own "gatorade" with lemon juice, water, pink himalayan salt, potassium chloride, and magnesium with some stevia. Sometimes I add ginger powder. It's crazy how much better I feel after drinking it.

I used to crave salty crisps/pickles so often, turns out i had hypotension 😂

So much of what we were told by the medical community has been been demonstrated to be wrong. I’m
60, and so much of the things I thought were healthy for most of my life - low sodium, low fat, getting most of your calories from carbs like whole grains - it’s been largely disproven. It’s so frustrating we were taught these things in the first place, and by medical practitioners, no less. The only things they seemed to have gotten right have been that processed sugar is bad, and smoking is bad. But pretty much everything else . . .

I actually was low on sodium a couple times in my life (Like diagnosed had to go to the hospital) I used to keep a very low sodium before that happened to me, after that happened I keep it more balanced now. I never really gravitated towards super salty food anyways but I just I no longer buy like "low sodium" in everything like I use to

Salt cubes in the military during strenuous exercise?

[michaellavery]

Makes sense if we are constantly losing salt water.

It's not actually true that having Hypertension means you should avoid salt. Hyponatremia (low salt in the body) itself can actually CAUSE Hypertension... as can low intake of magnesium or potassium.
BUT SO CAN B1 deficiency caused by all this sugar and starch or alcohol were consuming in large quantities.

PS. Insulin resistance from too much sugar/ carb and not enough exercise also causes you to retain that salt too

[marylee]

Awesome to know, my son was diagnosed with T1DM taking 1000mg met, with Lantus 25unit, 15unit 10unit 5unit and now he is off Lantus but still taking the met. He’s been having low sugar, I hope they take him off the met too, I th k he is fine. Only reason why his sugar was high was he was drinking REDbull and it almost killed him, it made his insulin levels go too low. I think he is fine now but they say it will be for the rest of his life. I’m doubting it’s true now.

People who swim in the ocean every day seem pretty healthy

Can you link the full episode in the description box or as a pinned comment?

Iodine deficiency causes prostate and breast cancer

[sarahjaye]

Good idea, I already have low electrolytes

[romanmerino]

Could you just eat salt by? itself Or should it be in water?

[besmart]

Now people hate sugar, say it’s unhealthy. Does that mean that in the future they will say that sugar was good and we were wrong, just like with salt?

[marym]

Why do I get so thirsty by adding small amount of salt ?

[bikrchikie]

OkI have hyper tension, not overweight, I either bike, walk, do yoga and weights each week, AND have LOW SODIUM, so not seeing a correlation btwn high BP and high sodium, just telling you. Have to add salt to feel "normal". thanks.
