now i had some reports from people who feel  very weak when they drink too much water  

especially when they’re doing fasting and i  want to talk about why that is it’s basically  

a deficiency of sodium a person is going to feel  very weak if they don’t consume enough salt and  

i recommend sea salt so there’s all sorts of  things that can make you deficient with sodium  

number one not consuming enough sea salt and  of course when you’re fasting you’re usually  

not consuming anything except water and the  more water you drink the more you dilute  

the minerals including salt and sodium so the  combination of drinking more water when you’re  

fasting is a bad combination you always want to  consume sea salt if you’re fasting our bodies need  

minimally three and a half to four to five grams  of sodium that’s roughly between a teaspoon and  

a half to two teaspoons of sea salt every single  day also if you’re doing low carb you’re going to  

require more salt than if you’re doing higher  amounts of carbohydrate that’s simply because  

when you’re in a high carb diet you’re going to  retain more salt than when you’re in a low carb  

diet now the other thing that can create a sodium  deficiency is consuming large amounts of potassium  

so if you’re doing electrolyte with a lot of  potassium and you’re not doing enough sea salt  

that can throw you off too especially if you’re  doing all these other things like fasting so don’t  

forget about the sea salt now the more stress  you go through the more salt you’re going to need  

because when you’re pumping a lot of cortisol you  lose sodium salt is needed as a part of the stress  

response now of course if it’s hot outside it’s  summer and you’re sweating and you’re exercising  

you’re definitely going to need more salt and if  you’re on a diuretic or an antidepressant you’re  

going to need more sodium if there’s liver damage  if you have hepatitis or you have a fatty liver  

or you have cirrhosis or you have kidney damage  because you’re a diabetic you’re going to need  

more sodium which is interesting because a lot  of times you’re told to avoid salt if you have  

those conditions and lastly you can lose salt  if you have diarrhea or you’re vomiting so these  

are all factors to consider if you’re feeling  weak you could be deficient in sodium one quick  

way to find out is just to start consuming more  salt and see if you feel stronger so if you’re
