      madmoiselle H people just need to look after their macros. Salt specifically is not _necessary_ . Additional iodized salts aren’t the only way to get sodium or iodine or to maintain hydration but they’re the most convenient. You don’t _need_ added salt to get those things but it’s good to listen to your body. If you feel bad and think it’s coming from your diet, change something.

I take sublingual vitamins daily just so they get in my system. So, there ya go. So now I consume alternate products to keep me at 3/4 of my levels. I still dont add additional salt to anything. My body doesn't process table salt at all very well. It's fun.

    The issue is that back in the day when you didn't consume any salt, you were advising people not to do so either. I remember in your website you would justify it by saying that people can die from consuming salt-water and therefore salt is to be avoided (which is a silly argument to put it mildly; one can also die from consuming too much regular water, does this mean we shouldn't be drinking water at all? It's the dose that makes the poison and the medicine). Back then you didn't specify that people who are doing such-and-such activities would benefit from consuming salt, no: you were adamant about not consuming salt, period. No grey area, just black and white. And I don't know about now, but back then your website's FAQ section wasn't about your experience eating the way you do, it was about giving health and diet advice to other people, advice which in hindsight turned out to be unfounded and extremely irresponsible.

      People can only blame themselves for listening to and trusting someone who has no degree nor history of study in medicine nor human anatomy and physiology. I blamed myself after I listened to ridiculous vegans, and tried their IDEOLOGICAL ramblings. I ended up in the hospital.
      As a member of indigenous tribes, I should have trusted the tried and true ancestral, seasonal diet of my own people. But nooohooo. I had to be an ass and followed other assess. Well, I have returned to eating meat like my ancestors before me, and I haven't been anywhere near a hospital since.
      Thank my common sense I didn't eleminate salt mineral from my diet because that probably would have been the end.

      what is wrong with you opinionated people?! Get over yourselves! She is simply sharing with great success what has worked for her for a decade or so and is giving a coherent and legitimate reason why she started pink salt or Celtic salt minimally. When you sweat profysely you lose your minerals through that sweat. She is simply replacing those minerals quickly with the salt which has a full spectrum of minerals. It's amazing to me how short sighted opinionated people are.

      I guess it depends on what you mean by salt. If you mean sodium chloride I don't think we need that. If you mean sodium then that is definitely necessarily but a very efficient body which very few people have can get enough from just fruits and vegetables. Though there is an argument that in nature we'd getting some salt/sodium in is by swimming in the ocean but I'm not sure if that's necessary. There are a bunch of long term raw vegans/fruitarians that are thriving and don't consume salt like Loren Lockman, Doug Graham, Robert Lockhart, Anne Osborne, Cappi and more. And not only are they doing great but one thing certain is they don't suffer from hyponatremia and have been doing this for decades so that says a lot.

    • @Cat-es9rq
      @Cat-es9rq 5 лет назад +1

      sowhat I know that there are lot of people doing good in Vegan diet. But what I mentioned here is a possibility of Sodium chloride deficiency, which is common in people consuming sodium restricted diet (eg: hypertension). I am not well knowledgeable about vegan diet providing enough Sodium. Well, yeah it must be..otherwise all those raw vegan people could have been experienced some sodium related issues. The key is to educate ourselves before restricting or incorporating something. I am also more of vegetarian diet. But I do consume salt ( minimal ) but never less than recommended dietary intake. But yes, fruit and veggie diet is the best.

There is a huge difference between what a plant is supposed to provide (on the paper) in terms of vitamins, nutrients and their bioavailability in a human body, besides all the antinutrients you can find in plants... You should have a deeper look into all of it, your health is at stake...

So I'm thinking the salt could stimulate your adrenals to perk up...salt is a stimulant on your adrenals...so yes, it will make us feel better and energized but it still is a stimulant.

    Hi Kristina, my brother stationed at Cyprus for 2 yrs or so so naturally the family would go out to visit him. He too was a marathon runner, and was provided with salt tablets to take every day. When we went over, the medic would insist we take them also (not that we were sporting people but because we were used to a much colder climate therefore our bodies were working harder, therefore depleting these minerals that needed topping up each day. Now I live in Australia and even when it is 40°c and hotter, we still have to continue working, cooking, etc. Not every job or house has efficient power as often it is common that our power will fail through insufficient power in the power banks with our power companies and so Aussies are encouraged to drink 1 sport drink a day. I don't like these (their full of sugar) so I have always taken salt as I did in Cyprus. I have used this method for 30 yrs, it's good for me.

    Thanks for sharing. I went WFPB in January and I make sure to stay current with my physician visits. My doctor ran through some important nutrition needs and the first was iodine. I think it is very important to couple a special diet with a good physician or nutritionist that you trust. Iodine is an element that is needed for the production of thyroid hormone. The body does not make iodine, so it is an essential part of your diet. This is why I added a little salt back into my diet. Just my experience as well.

    There is no iodine in sea salt. This is why I still consume some iodized table salt. Or take an iodine supplement.

    Hi, Kristina. I agree with your eating Himayan and Celtic sea salt for adding benefical trace minerals not fiound in fruits and vegetables by themselves. Another good video, thanks.

  • @jillom6648
    @jillom6648 5 лет назад

    Yes, celery and sea salt (Pink Himalayan and or Celtic) for minerals. After drinking filtered water for a long time, it came to my attention that that process filters out minerals as well. This is a tasty way to replenish them. Thanks, Kristina🙏🏻

      i hardly call that stubborn just her preference of eating personally i wish i had the will power enough and
      the strength to do this diet i would be so healthy but i just dont have it in me to do it like kristina but shes great person for eating raw living fruits and vegetables straight from mother nature and i bless her for her beautiful diet.

    Great video, great topic. It is one of the only things I disagreed with about the 80/10/10 diet.
    I really "believe" in salt. Of course in "pinch amounts" and good quality.
    Thanks for this update!
    The years you have on the raw vegan lifestyle and still looking good and healthy now speak volumes and put you up there with such as John Kohler.
    The raw vegans who don't consume any salt tend to start looking dehydrated and/or depleted, which is why I disagreed with the "no salt" guideline.
    Much love to you!!! ❤❤

    Love your honesty since we are ALL learning, you might want to look up about the sodium/potassium PUMP which is at the heart of our ENERGY GENERATION. So by your receptive response to your current state and willingness to deal with it, you may have overcome a problem early on that would have dragged you down if you had not taken action. I am especially impressed by your willingness (after 8 years of believing that salt is bad) to be so HONEST and put it on the table for others to benefit from your experience.
    I fully support your distinction between table salt and other salts that also contain many minerals without being bleached and all the others things that go on with tables salt. You have clearly made known you can be TRUSTED to make known any issues you have rather than hiding them away.

      ROTFL!!!!! I like Kristina's commentary on why she needs to add a little salt, because she added intense workouts. It makes sense, but your reason is quite candid, amusing and very truthful. I still struggle to only get my salt from celery juice, but I would LOVE some salt in my food. I do not use salt because it keeps my blood pressure down so I do not need medication. LOVED your answer! :)

    Hi Kristina! I’ve been watching your videos off & on for 6+ years. You look great, glad to hear you still tweak as needed. I wanted to suggest checking into the benefits & possibly trying out Sole Water (pronouced So-lay). You get more minerals & less sodium from the salt when consumed this way.

    what do u recommend for someone like me who, due to digestive issues and IBS, is sensitive to oxylates (sp?) Which are in a lot of healthy vegetables. I was craving fresh juice for a while so I was juicing carrots apples spinach parsley kale.... And it was causing me to be gassy bloated and doubled over with stomach pain. I know leafy green vegetables are healthy for most people but in my case they really do me in. Side note: I am not vegan, and with an issue like mine I don't know how anybody could be

I'd love to watch a video of your running experience. What kind of terrain do you run on? Shoes you wear and also, how do you keep your knees and joints healthy with all the running you do? Also what do you think about swimming?

    There are very few differences between sea salt and table salt. The way sea salt is produced allows it to maintain trace minerals but there is no extra health benefits that come from sea salt or Himalayan salt(table salt is more processed though if that's a factor you care about) in fact most table salts actually contain more iodine that Himalayan or sea salts so if your looking for that eat table salt.

    Hey! So, I know there's not any one right answer to this for everyone... But in your video you answered sometimes not getting home till rather late (9/10) and it sounds like you infer THEN you go ahead and have dinner... What's your eating pattern/meal times of the day? Only asking because I've found I have an "alternative" schedule than what most articles or people harp on (eating only during daylight hours etc), simply because this works for me. Thus, I am curious as to what you find works best for your life/body as well? Thanks!!!

    What's the problem a little pink Himalayan salt or Celtic Sea salt I've never heard of any issues with it. I've been vegan / raw vegan cuz I was 17 and I've always just had a pinch of here and there I never cut it all the way out so I'm just curious was there a problem with it? Or was it a personal choice to cut it out because your raw vegan? I'm simply asking out of pure curiosity, I know some things are people personal preference ,I know some people kind of jump on the bandwagon and getting erroneous information about certain lifestyle so I'm just curious. I'm a writer , holistic health practitioner , herbalist and certified aromatherapist. I get get curious when I hear things like this.

    I don't eat salt Kristina. I eat miso soup every morning with nori and when I need to put salt into soups or cooking I use wakame. Basically salty seasweed. It's the best thing for the thyroid. If I bothered with salt I'd use Himalayan pink salt, but I'm good without it. XO
