hi guys I want to do another video on

low salt diet and cholesterol and blood

pressure did you realize that a low salt

diet will actually increase your

cholesterol and triglycerides it’s an

interesting it will also lower your

blood pressure but let’s take a look at

by how much if you have normal blood

pressure and you go on a low salt diet

it will decrease your blood pressure by

1% very insignificant if you have high

blood pressure and you’re gonna low salt

diet it will decrease it by 3.5% again

very insignificant in other words the

data out there and I’ll put a link down

below is that a low salt diet is not

significant in protecting the heart

against heart problems at all it’s not

significant so all of our attention is

on sodium is bad sodium is bad we need

to reduce sodium but take a look at this

low potassium diets will increase your

risk of high blood pressure increase

your risk of getting a stroke increase

the risk of eating kidney stones but

they don’t emphasize that the truth is

that high blood pressure is many times

caused by a potassium deficiency not a

sodium excess so the RDA for sodium is

about 2,300 milligrams yet an average

American will consume about 3300

milligrams of sodium every single day so

that would be an excess of a thousand

milligrams but the RDAs for potassium

per day is 4700 and the average American

consumes only 2,640 giving your

deficiency of 2060 so in reality it’s

much more a potassium deficiency than a

sodium excess that’s responsible for

high blood pressure so start consuming

more salads you need at least minimally

7 cups of vegetables every single day to

get you close to this requirement
