Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 For years, doctors and the government have told us that consuming salt increases blood pressure, and that high blood pressure is a precursor to many cardiovascular diseases. But this is not the full story.
#2 The low-salt guidelines were based on a small sample of people and their benefits from low-salt eating, without ever considering the risks. Many other health risks are caused by low salt intake, such as increased heart rate, compromised kidney function, and adrenal insufficiency.
#3 The health risks of salt restriction are clear, and the benefits of salt restriction are minimal at best.
#4 I have spent a decade examining the research on salt, and I have come to the conclusion that the advice to cut down on salt is outdated. Who really needs less salt. And how much is optimal.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

For years, doctors and the government have told us that consuming salt increases blood pressure, and that high blood pressure is a precursor to many cardiovascular diseases. But this is not the full story.

#2

The low-salt guidelines were based on a small sample of people and their benefits from low-salt eating, without ever considering the risks. Many other health risks are caused by low salt intake, such as increased heart rate, compromised kidney function, and adrenal insufficiency.

#3

The health risks of salt restriction are clear, and the benefits of salt restriction are minimal at best.

#4

I have spent a decade examining the research on salt, and I have come to the conclusion that the advice to cut down on salt is outdated. Who really needs less salt. And how much is optimal.

#5

Salt has always been a crucial part of human health, and it is important to understand how we came to believe it was harmful. Perhaps it was the ubiquity of salt that led to its downfall; we simply took it for granted.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

Salt is essential to our bodies, and we would die if we didn’t have it. Our brain and body automatically determine how much salt we eat, reabsorb, and excrete.

#2

The ocean covers 71 percent of the earth’s surface, but it also makes up 99 percent of the earth’s total living space. The electrolyte composition of the extracellular fluid has remained largely the same since the beginning of life, which suggests that salt balance is an evolutionary adaptation.

#3

The ability of an organism to retain and excrete salt is critical in order to provide the proper cell function and hydration that sustains life. Fish are able to live in both freshwater and salt water, and their gills serve like the kidneys of a human, reabsorbing or excreting salt depending on whether they have too much or too little salt in their body.

#4

The first four-limbed vertebrates, tetrapods, are thought to be the last common ancestor of amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. Their kidneys and salt cravings are clues that they more likely evolved from marine animals rather than freshwater animals.

#5

The taste for fish and other aquatic creatures may have led prehuman primates to begin deliberately catching fish by hand and using tools such as sticks and sand to catch fish, which represented a huge leap forward in cognitive development.

#6

The fact that DHA is important for the growth of the human brain creates the unavoidable suggestion that aquatic foods were an important player in how the human brain evolved.

#7

We have evolved to have a taste for salt. Data suggests that early humans roaming East Africa’s noncoastal regions between 1. 4 and 2. 4 million years ago may have consumed a diet extremely high in salt.

#8

The Nutcracker Man, who lived around 100 AD, did not live by nuts alone. He also survived on a diet largely composed of grasshoppers. Scientists have observed that sodium deficiency can lead to cannibalism in insects.

#9

The idea that our human ancestors consumed very little salt is both old and current. Some experts believe that 45 to 60 percent of our Paleolithic ancestors’ calories came from animal foods that are naturally high in salt.

#10

Salt is the white substance we all know from the dinner table. It is essential to our body’s health, and it is the main positively charged electrolyte in our blood. Iodine is also a mineral, but it is only found in trace amounts in the body.
