Salt is now good for you

Keep eating Kale there Buckly. I bet you don't even know the different types of fat. Your body will continue to crave fat even if you avoid it. Then people eat fat substitutes and artificial sweeteners which are MUCH worse for you.

I weigh the same as I did in high school and I am 64...
You should eat as much pork rinds as you can get your hands on, heavy on the ribs and hot dogs too. Lets not forget the corned beef as well.
You will live forever because you don't believe in science...I fucking guarantee it.
Bon Appétit
 
Gross generalization. Salt causes you to retain water, which is why athletes use it to avoid dehydration. For a large group of individuals, salt will indeed kill them. Whereas salt doesn't 'cause' high blood pressure, it most certainly affects it.


From the article:

If you have high blood pressure, or belong to a group considered to be at greater risk of developing it — such as being over 60 or Afro-Caribbean — doctors even advise you to cut your intake to two-thirds of a teaspoon of salt per day.

 
I'm not sure, but I do believe sodium does affect my BP.

When I consume a lot of it, my BP tends to get pretty high.

When I cut down, my BP tends to go down.

For some strange reason, brown rice seems to be my magic bullet for hypertension.

Eat it every night for a week and my BP normalizes.
^^^^^This.

Salt causes the body to retain water. The kidneys have to work harder to remove excess water, which also taxes the heart.
 
I'm not disagreeing with the guy in the OP, and I would hope he's correct.

But there are a lot of equally qualified cardiovascular experts who still maintain that too much sodium causes hypertension.
The guy in the OP said the same exact thing that you did. Most people only read the title, and rush to post.

So refreshing to hear a voice of reason among all the knee-jerk hyperbole.
Thank you.

Now I know that you are a massive cockwomble! Why are you such a disingenuous arsehole?

"Current daily guidelines limit you to 2.4g of sodium, which translates to 6g of salt (or sodium chloride) or slightly less than a teaspoonful.

If you have high blood pressure, or belong to a group considered to be at greater risk of developing it — such as being over 60 or Afro-Caribbean — doctors even advise you to cut your intake to two-thirds of a teaspoon of salt per day.

Yet salt is an essential nutrient that our bodies depend on to live. And those limits go against all our natural instincts. When people are allowed as much salt as they fancy, they tend to settle at about a teaspoon-and-a-half a day. This is true all over the world, across all cultures, climates and social backgrounds."
