How much salt do I really need?

Make sure you use iodized salt if you're not supplimenting iodine already

More than you think. Look up Koreans.

Also, is it just me or does it grind anyone else's gears that medicine today is just commercials and shilling for whatever? It's almost impossible to read the literature without going "Eurgh, I wonder whop paid for that".

Examples: Low fat, low carb, high fat, high carb, salt, sun damage, cancer etc. etc. literally everything is "the solution is A; 500 sources here" and at the same time "Whatever you do, don't do A, 500 sources here".

more important is potassium,
and i guarantee you're not getting enough

Do Koreans have a greater "tolerance" for salt? That would explain my wife's eating habits. She cannot get enough salt.

Gookfucker

Please don't ever have children

>user has to be white
Chinks post here too, he could just be some other non-Korean Asian

Lowest incidence of cardiovascular disease coincides with 5g daily intake.

Are you referring to the widely criticized paper by Alderman that claims that lower sodium intake is associated with higher risk of myocardial infarction? Because that one has some serious flaws.

Also back in the day people had to do hard manual labor all day and needed extra salt to replenish their losses from sweating.

If the food industry influenced research on salt intake and mortality, salt would be proclaimed the most healthy thing in the world. It's cheap and tasty. Research on nutrition is very difficult to pull off properly because there are so many variables in a diet it's hard to perform rigorous studies.

Bloody hope so

If you are obese or have heart problems you should consume like 2300 mg max, if you don’t have heart problems you can eat like 3000 mg a day. Being hydrated is important, and it’s also important to eat potassium rich foods like bananas, spinach, potatoes, milk, citrus fruit and juices.

You can eat as much salt as you want so long as your kidneys have enough time and water to filter it efficiently, and usually you'll stop before you kill yourself
Some people will have a harder time holding onto salt or they'll just need more it's not an exact science so you'll just have to fuck with it

Chronically eating too much salt and compensating by drinking enough water is literally how salt causes high blood pressure, heart disease and early death

That's why you stop eating the salt when it stops tasting as good your body tells you when you don't need it unlike sugar.

how could caveman or animals meet that quota?

They'd eat dirt bud i'm not even fucking with you. but only if you were critically low on salt

That's very likely. Many animals eat dirt and lick rocks.

I am white. But don't you worry , we very likely will not have natural born children due to the fact that a pregnancy may be dangerous for her.

Stop eating fast food and cook for yourself, salting for flavour. If you do this most of the time you don't need to worry about salt intake.

Too much salt is caused by eating shit food.

As much as you want to eat, most likely. If you have high blood pressure, decrease your sugars instead

Animal meet, salt from ocean or in land salty water. There is a reason that salt was an ancient form of currency.

It's possible that human lose salt so quickly since it's "possible" that the species went through an "aquatic ape" phase where we lived by the sea. With the abundance of salt in the ocean, it would explain why we can't hold on to it like other mammals. Plus side is that we picked up the ability to sweat, which was a ciritical adaptation when humans went to the plains, where we could then regulate our body temperature better than anything else.

pretty much this

you need to take in enough salt to replenish your supplies and that depends on how much you actually exercise/sweat
average is you lose about 500mg of sodium per pound of sweat so if you weigh yourself before a workout and then after you should know how much sodium you need to consume to replenish what you lost during your work out IN ADDITION to your daily requirement of sodium which for the average person is 2000 mg
imo it's better to over eat your sodium intake than under eat if you're relatively active and don't have any heart problems

I get confused by pink Himalayan salt. I see youtubers tell you all this shit about the toxins in everything then tell you to eat exclusively pink Himalayan salt. That crap is full of impurities and unknown shit.

You guys are actual fags
