let’s talk about one of the first symptoms that  can occur if you’re low in salt in your body  

which this is actually very very common it’s  weakness okay overall feeling of weakness  

you’re kind of tired let’s talk about why first  of all the the root word salad is a latin word  

for salted greens okay because the romans used  to dip their lettuce in salt which is interesting  

the word salary or sale sal is the latin word for  salt and the romans sometimes used to get paid in  

salt instead of money which is another interesting  point you should never consume refined salt always  

is sea salt that’s unpolluted himalayan salt is  great there’s many other salts that are just as  

good because the refined salt is just sodium  chloride and you’re not getting all the other  

minerals in the right balance that you need plus  to add aluminum which is not good salt is also  

needed to make hydrochloric acid in your body  to help digest protein to help absorb minerals  

to help kill pathogens and many people are low  in hcl and then they start getting acid reflux  

indigestion bloating especially as you get older  an average person as a very minimum needs one  

teaspoon of sea salt every single day but in many  cases they need more especially if they exercise  

or do the ketogenic diet now i think the worst  scenario a person can be in is if they’re  

on a low salt diet and they’re drinking lots of  water so they’re diluting that little bit of salt  

that they have and then they get on a diuretic  which will then cause the water to come out but  

also the sodium too making them very deficient  in sodium and if they’re on a high carb diet  

with all those other factors what’s going to  happen is they’re going to retain the fluid in  

the sodium but in the wrong places so they’re  going to be in a real bad situation so you’re  

generally just going to have this feeling of  weakness and tiredness and then when you consume  

some salt you’re going to feel a lot better right  away so if you’re endowed or confused about this  

just add a little more salt to the diet and see  if your energy doesn’t just perk up when i take  

my electrolyte powder which has a lot of sodium  i always add more salt to it especially if you’re  

going on keto and you’re no longer consuming all  these refined carbs with all this extra sodium but  

if someone’s just starting keto and they’re  they’ve been on a high sodium refined diet  

then they don’t need to do that because they  already have too much sodium from things like the  

monosodium glutamate and the extra sodium that  they put in a lot of junk foods but here’s why  

you get energy from sodium okay number one sodium  excites the heart muscle so without enough sodium  

the heart can’t pump and so you don’t get enough  oxygen to the cells you don’t get enough nutrition  

you’re going to feel tired and weak and  just as a side note when i talk about sodium  

i’m really recommending sea salt because  you wouldn’t necessarily want to take sodium  

as an individual mineral because sodium  works with so many other things so  

you want to get your sodium from sea  salt now sodium also regulates calcium  

calcium homeostasis so without sodium  calcium can’t really work in the body  

so then you don’t get the contraction of the  muscles you don’t get the rhythm of the heart  

and you can’t produce the energy that you need  okay so that relationship is very very important  

also sodium is involved in this really key pump in  the cells that produce voltage because the cell is  

like a battery so you need sodium for that pump  you also need potassium as well and so if you’re  

low in sodium you’re going to have low voltage  okay in the body and here’s another interesting  

thing about sodium sodium is very important  it’s vital in making energy in the mitochondria  

in your kidneys you have the most concentrated  mitochondria okay simply because sodium is so  

important that the kidney has to maintain a very  high level of energy to recycle sodium and so this  

is just another reason why the body considers  sodium as something that is very very important  

and last point sea water the chemistry of seawater  is virtually identical to the watery portion  

of your blood so when you consume more sea  salt you’re fortifying your blood hey before  

you go real quick i have a course entitled how to  bulletproof your immune system it’s a free course  

i want you to take it and here’s why here’s you  here is your environment everyone is focused on  

this over here avoiding your environment but  what about here what about strengthening your  

immune system that’s what’s missing this course  will show you how to bulletproof yourself and so  

you can tolerate and resist your environment  much better by strengthening your own immune  

system i put a link down in the description right  down below check it out and get signed up today
