so how can you raise your blood pressure to normal levels without adding salt?
Avoid salt? Absolutely not lol, itâs an essential electrolyte which needs to be in balance as does everything. People need to have a balance of potassium and sodium. If they donât have low bp then add more salt, if they have high bp then reduce salt a little and jack up the potassium. 1:1 ratio between them is what everyone should do in the least if not having a greater portion to potassium.
My cardiologist said eat more salt because I have low blood pressure. Fried foods he recommended as well lol.
you know this channel is REALLY behind the times because they haven't started using Youtube Shorts until now…..
HIMALAYAN SALT??? 86 minerals??? Good for you?
How many pounds visceral fat ok?
I disagree. Avoid excessive salt but not less than recommended amount. I made myself ill by avoiding salt – vertigo etc – fortunately I realised I had been misled and add a sprinkling at each meal – and my BP is absolutely normal.
If you ever needed any evidence his advice is kinda bullshit. This is it đ
i love these shorts, hope it becomes a thing & I'm willing to volunteer to edit clips i like from longer videos.
Salt does not affect my blood pressure, I like to eat my food with generous amount of salt, I think is a genetic too!
Thank you đ
Fruit based is the answer for salt addicts. You canât eat starch without salt. The taste is terrible.
Are you sure?… I know You never answer comments but I hope youâll make an exception: I have low sodium in my blood. All the other electorates are perfect but sodium is always low. I dot add much salt if nothing as i feel it hurts my stomach… I do use celery and a lot of bitter greens… do I still need to continue not to add salt?.l
It's the balance between sodium, and potassium that counts…. we get a lot of both in our diet.
If diagnosed with low odium should you still alt?
If diagnosed with low sodium should you still avoid salt?
Salt is crucial for so many functions. Avoid salt if you are eating processed garbage. Introduce plenty of salt if you are eating whole foods.
Sorry I cannot follow your diet, I would die prematurely of severe boredom. Thanks anyways!
Oh please not this "shorts" crap. Regular Videos are much better
Avoid table salt. Himala or sea salt is actually good for you.
Good to see you again; looking healthy!
What about people with POTS?
Isn't salt essential?
This is dumb AF
WRONG. How can you say this without CLARIFYING you are only talking about table salt???? 1/8 tsp Celtic sea salt is necessary everyday for real minerals we are not getting from ordinary food & will help everyone tremendously. đđ
Does salt hijacks your antioxidants enzyme?
Really? Zero salt? No sodium intake at all? Not even from foods?
Thank you.
I have watched the salt videos. I am not convinced that this advice is the right advice. If you have low blood pressure, avoid it because it also raises the risk of stomach cancer? I think EXCESSIVE salt raises it, show me a study where people eating a normal amount of salt, say 1500mg per day, were getting more cancer than the control. I am sorry I will die on this hill. I love this channel and I have sent a ton of people here, but Dr. Greger does not mind his own pronouncements. This is a guy who has repeatedly said he will not listen to people who don't have RCTs. (BTW, most important health about face of the 20th C: tobacco, did not have an RCT.) So show me an RCT of 1500mg and a control and more stomach cancer. And don't tell me you would like to get it funded. If it's not there, then abide your own dictates.
This guy belongs on CNN
ok…so if you have low pressure and I mean LOW blood pressure…..like under 100, what should you do? What do you eat or drink that could help it some……anybody?
Is it true that 500 mg is the minimum daily requirement? I don't have a good sense if one would naturally get that amount on a WFPB diet.
Does he mean âlow blood pressureâ as just low but within a normal range? What about people with dysautonomia or just hypotension? If I donât eat enough salt Iâm basically in bed all day
Show me 1 randomized control trial in humans with a sample size of at least 100 people proving that mineral salt such as Pink Himalayan Salt causes stomach cancer and/or the hardening of arteries. Please provide the link. Thank you.
I like salt. I is healthy.
What if you have low sodium levels in your lab work as well as low blood pressure? Should you avoid salt? How do you bring up sodium levels on lab work?
Dysautonomia/POTS doctors are prescribing salt for people who can't function normally because their blood pressure is so low. Dr. Greger never directly addresses this, just like he never addresses food allergies and other issues that cannot be resolved with a plant-based diet. I'm so tired of him acting like he has the answer to everything. LOW BLOOD PRESSURE IS NOT GOOD IF YOU CAN'T FUNCTION AND YOU'RE PASSING OUT!
Some of the other bad things of excess sodium chloride include increasing risk of calcium oxalate kidney stones and potentially demineralization of bones in contribution to osteoporosis (âstones and bonesâ).
And well Iâm not particularly sure what the questionnaires definition of âvery low blood pressure is â, the following might help provide perspective:
Multiethnic study of atherosclerosis (MESA) of thousands of people not on blood pressure medications found cardiovascular risk started to rise measurebly above is systolic blood pressure of 90.
Prior to MESA, ideal resting systolic blood pressure was felt to be 100â119. Probably more correct to say that a resting systolic blood pressure is ideal if 90 to 115, arguably less than 110, so long as one does not have any symptoms of hypotension.
To feel that one needs to raise their blood pressure above 90 systolic by adding salt despite feeling fine is a misunderstanding of best blood pressure data.
Upshot: if one has a resting systolic blood pressure in the 90âs without symptoms, we have no compelling reason to âadd salt to normalize blood pressureâ.
Of course, always work with your licensed healthcare professional who knows your case better than any of us âInternet doctorsâ. That said, if a licensed healthcare professional tells you to add salt to raise your resting systolic blood pressure thatâs in the 90s or low 100s despite your feeling fine, you might want to reach out to a licensed cardiovascular specialist who knows the data a bit better. Feel free to press them on the findings of the multiethnic study of atherosclerosis: https://edhub.ama-assn.org/jn-learning/audio-player/18515544
Salt doesn't seem to affect my blood pressure. Arteries and stomach cancer! No more salt! Oh my goodness!
ZERO salt?? If we eat only greens, raw vegetables, flax, and ZERO processed foods?? donât we need a TINY amount?? đ¤Ż
Iâm not sure if this is correct – if you donât eat ANY processed food NONE – doesnât your body need a TINY amount to function? Thanks for posting this Dr. Gregor please discuss.
What? I had low blood pressure, put more salt on my meals, pressure went up to normal. It's sea salt, like you NEED it to survive.
Im sorry this sounds ridiculous salt has been an important part of human diet forever so much so that salary ie your pay, derives from salt
