- How to understand you eat too much salt? Eating too much salt is very dangerous for your health. How much is too much? We’ll answer this tricky question and show you the 9 clear signs that you need to quit salt immediately.
HISTORY OF SALT
Salt has been an essential element of human and animal diet for centuries. Salt served as a currency in many countries, and people literally got into fights over it. In the Middle Ages, it was sometimes called “white gold” because it was incredibly expensive. Salt has been such an important part of life it has a big place in literature and culture of many nations. It is still a tradition to greet guests with bread and salt in many countries. Some popular cities would not be what they are without salt. Venice, for example, became economically developed thanks to its salt monopoly. Salzburg, which we know as the city of Mozart and “The Sound of Music” translates from German as “salt castle.” There, salt mines were turned into tourist attractions.

SUMMARY: How much salt is too much?
Americans have almost 3,400 milligrams of sodium every day. And, it's more than double the optimal amount!
According to the American Heart Association, 1,500 milligrams of sodium is your healthy limit. That's 0.75 teaspoons of salt. That does not sound like a lot, but we have faith you can be strong and limit your salt consumption to this number.

Oh, nice to meet you celebrity🙈
You finally came around to the time stamps ❤😂
If you eat too much salt, the extra water stored in your body raises your blood pressure. So, the more salt you eat, the higher your blood pressure. The higher your blood pressure, the greater the strain on your heart, arteries, kidneys and brain. This can lead to heart attacks, strokes, dementia and kidney disease.
Health Chronicle my mom have kidney disease
Health Chronicle, artificial Preservatives is the main problem. These preservatives are also the main problematic factor in salt intake according to The Health Journal. The reason they don't tell anyone is because it profits them more
It's ok
Salt in the past before refrigerator was the first food preservation method I think.
Health Chronicle u can get rid of retained h20 with a diuretic no biggie

It's crazy how easy it is to have a high sodium diet. It takes no effort. Lately, I only season my food with both fresh and granulated onions and garlic, in addition to a few herbs/spices. I'm pleasantly surprised at how good my food's been tasting.
nah you should use salt.
How are you taking your *needed* sodium?
Who else came here to see all these salty comments

Signs you are blabbering too much in your videos: It takes you ten and a half minutes to get through nine points.
Sir John Hammond if the video last more than 10 mins they quadruple their profits simple!
Only if people watch to the very end. Which most do not.

Thank you
Thanks
Thank you!
Jose Angulo Barraza you're*
When researchers put people on an extremely low salt diet it actually made them more thirsty so im not sure thirst is the best indicator.
It’s cause salt retains the water
Water is attracted to salt so only in theory😅
@@elizabethfrier3956 look at the link
Thanks for informing and reminding us thru this video! So helpful
One thing to watch if reducing your salt consumption is iodine levels. Iodine is rare in the common diet and you really need to watch it. For many, about the only source of iodine is iodised salt. So yes, reduce your sodium intake, if it is too high, but watch your iodine intake. You only need small amounts but it is essential.
This video can be shortened for about ¼ th of it's original time
good guy especially with all the added in useless information and that history bit at the beginning lol
gotta hit that 10 minute mark somehow
I watch this video x2 speed 😂😂
He can't think straight.
Less ad revenue though
Thanks for all the info 👍😊👍
Thank you so much for this info!
Just stop playing Overwatch and you'll be fine.
Ur rite
I hope so-
Knew it 3 yrs ago
@nut
then why u are watching??
And right after that, he logged into Overwatch
The importance of salt long time ago was not because of high consumption. It was because salt was used a lot to preserve foods (no refrigerators!). I once lived in an old house and there was a specially crafted brick container in the basement. People back then used it to stack meat in it between layers of salt. And they rinced the meat before use.
Thank you sooo much for your suggestions love you
Thx! I learned so much
The average salt intake 150 years ago was much higher from salted meats yet heart disease much lower. Hmmm sugar is the real enemy
Excess consumption of either is the only 'enemy' there is. You're talking about 150 years ago. What was the average meal composed of? How frequent was the consumption of meat, salted or otherwise? What else did they eat? What was the difference between the well off and poor, diet-wise? What was the activity level? What was the mortality rate? What were the common chronic conditions afflicting these people? So many different factors and variables are present.
@@renge9909 yeah, so basically tge culprit isnt salt its all those other factors. Not enough exercise, sedentary life cycle, to much sugar, not enough potassium etc.
150 years ago people die in 40s
I have rings on my ankles, and my left kidney has hurt a lot recently. And about a year ago, I had tried lowering my salt intake. So, I’m a little surprised to find this video. Thank you so much, the team at Bright Side
I avoided salt due concern for my kidney. Now being a keto diet, i decided to up my salt to 12grams. i feel wonderful and clearheaded! Guess we on keto need more.
I'm with you!
thank you for it is very helpful!
The comment section is full with *Salty people*
So funny i forgot to laugh
Ah ok
SkullGM when i read the title, i knew someone was going to make a joke about being salty
SkullGM 😂
SkullGM mwuahahaha
Not enough salt is deadly. I know. I almost lost my father because his doctor put him on a low to no sodium diet. Salt helps keep your body hydrated. Balance is always best.
Same. I went low sodium because of videos like this and got the sickest I'd ever been my entire life. Cramps every say. Now I take between 2500 to sometimes over 5000 and no more cramps and random pains. I'm also an athlete and more salt helps me sweat and have longer endurance.
TriKittah so high sodium is good for us?
I went on low sodium 40 years ago. It is the CHANGE that has to be properly managed. It took 4 years to gradually reduce the salt intake. It is impossible to imagine a person not getting sufficient salt per se. But if the kidneys have been used to excreting the excess salt and you suddenly stop then you can easily run to salt deficient. As I said, I don't use salt but even then I look at my foodstuffs and I still reach recommended levels easily without adding any salt to anything ever.
My father died, because of his salt use. It held fluid in his bloodstream and his bloodstream was so waterlogged...the heart could not pump the blood. His heart was starved for nutrients. His weight would fluctuate over 100 pounds. He had to go into the hospital regularly to drain the water. The RDA now is 2200 mg. Fifty years ago it was 400-500 mg. This increase occurred, because the food industries needed to sell more products. Processed foods are overloaded with sodiium and the human body was not designed to eat 2200 mg daily. In truth, human beings were not designed to eat processed foods.
Fifty years ago the RDA for sodium was 400-500 mg. Human beings were not designed to eat processed foods with their excessive amount of sodium. If people ate more unprocessed fruits and vegetables their health would improve.. Americans spend more on medical care and are among the sickest in the world, because of the Standard American Diet.
Thanks, it was very helpful
Cramp is a sign of not enough salt, not too much.
Yes l made that comment 6 days ago 🤣
True
It can be a sign of too little Potassium
2 minutes in and Im still waiting for them to get to the point.
pass
To much salt also affects you attention span.
Same
Yep
Jason Wood tyt
Not wanting to waste one's time when pursuing what one wants to know, has NOTHING to do with attention span.

Thank me later
BigJohn Videos thank you dad
I learned a lot , thank you so much
This was a great eye opener reminding us to watch our salt consumption!, Thanks
Also research signs of consuming too LITTLE salt.
This is rather rare, salt is everywhere. Sodium depletion, besides some rare diseases, will more "commonly" come from extreme exercise, such as in marathons and whatnot. But even there people will have a some risk of over-hydration, if they drink too much water or sports drinks fearing dehydration.
*NOT* rare thanks to videos like these and the government saying restrict your salt intake.
@@jaythunder5114 more rare than not. most people eat too much salt and not enough potassium. You need both but you need 4x more potassium than sodium.
I've just seen a plastic dolly driving a truck. 👽👽🎃🎃🚬🚬🏃🏃🏃🏃
@@imzjustplayin not actually that unrare. FDA intakes have been shown to cause a deficiency in salt, actually.
But yes, higher potassium intake is crucial
Yup, I eat too much salt
Same
Clorox is taking over youtube!!!!!

Very helpful and interesting!
Thank you for this video
On the other hand, how about the signs you are not eating enough???
Every day for the past month i've been waking up in the middle of the night. Even when I wake up I feel tired and drowsy. I can't focus. I gotta stop eating out.
hope you are feeling better now 💜
Thank you so much
It is so useful information.
Really good tips...thanks.
Actualy salt works against cramps. Absence of salt in diet causes more problems than slight overdose. Also salt helps to keep water in body and blood.
which salt, the cooking one (nevermind euro or asia version) have nothing linked to the cramps. They are both natrium salts.
Absence of salt is also cause of depression and brain malfunction. Na is counterweight of K so it keeps balance.
What always confused me however is that given what you said, why does consuming it in a large enough quantity indeed make you much more thirsty?
Stephen Hill
Lol, thank you, but no (regarding always being thirsty). I was saying specifically after a lot of salt may be consumed.
Isn't that bad though? By consuming more water in response, you're saturating your body with even more water when in fact that's precisely the one and only problem with too much salt.
I guess the question would therefore be, what would the right thing be to do in that circumstance?
Typhoon792 what’s wrong with drinking water? Excess water and sodium can leave your body through many ways such as sweating and urinating.
Playing LoL daily increases your salt intake by 1000%
Keijo 420 NOT physical salt intake though.
you dont even have any evidence and say this as if it was true
niko pulkkinen You don't even have any sense of humor... How many hours on lol?
Oh baby, wait until you SoloQ in CS:GO
so true!!!!!! also probably pouring toxic barrels into your mouth daily as your playing LoL
You guys are REALLY smart!!!
Remember the experiment in grade school when they added salt to water and it conducted electricity and rang a bell or whatever. Well, taste buds transfer signals via electrical impulses hence food tends to taste better with a bit of salt. Thanks for the video.
"I ate too much salt, now a talking red band has appeared on my leg!"
Gotta see the doctor next monday😪
Tnx for the infos, I knew them but this confirms it
I don’t think I can give up my salt intake I love it too much, I’ve given up on all forms of caffeine, sugar, processed food and snacks. I only eat when I am hungry mostly once a day.
Literallyy i eat spoons of salts cause am that addicted to it
Thank you for sharing this wonderful information on salt 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Jack K sending yu hearts and diamonds (:
Elisapeta Salt LOL
Joe Al your so weird
I think I should eat more Salt
Never explained how a craving for junk food means you eating too much salt when really the craving can be explained by salt deficiency. The human body has an amazing ability to self regulate by making you crave salt when you need it and remove it using the kidneys when here’s too much. In study’s men were able to urinate 86 grams of salt in a day
Very niece tnx more ❤
Awesome tips.
Salt gives me energy
"Salt addict"
Aaaand just like that you lost me. (You lost me almost immediately, but this was the nail in the coffin. :D)
Now that you've done a video on Intermittent fasting... do one on keto. We actually require more salt on this life method, and don't need to fear salt. (sea salts are better)
Ooh my gosh this video is so informative , thank you so much,
"incredibly expensive" might be a little much. It's not as if most people could not afford some salt in their food.
The thing is that it was a vital commodity back in the days before refrigeration because salting and (and pickling) foods was the main method of preservation, so it was very useful and valuable both in it's direct practical application and as a trade-good. We're still talking about fairly large quantities though. You don't salt a barrel of fish with a few spoonfuls.
Nope, just too much CSGO

Hi
Please do “10 Signs You’re Eating to Much Sugar!”
James Currie lol 😂😂😂😂

thanks for the healthy information...
this channel for me is one of the best.
🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍😍
No. 1 - You regularly use twitter
6) Muscle cramps can be caused by too much salt or too little salt or too little water. It is more to do with the salt to water balance in the muscle. Alcohol can also throw out your salt to water balance.
thanks a lot for these information..it shows me that i am a person of too much salt eater...now i am thinking to change my food habit...thx again
thank you so much! it is really helpful..I know the effect of too much salt intake but didn`t expect there are many side effects for..Wish I could control mine...
Almost everything you said was either a misconception or just wrong.
Signs you are eating too much oil please
Yiyi Ma ok
And sugar, I think I eat too much sugar.
Zits 🙁
umm, if you don't mean food oil, then, the fact that your eating it is a sign, otherwise you can have as much vegetable oil as you want
Yiyi Ma p
most useful, as always... i'm aware of #3 but was surprised to know that salt is used in medicine...
Your channel change my life worse to amazing thank you
Salt is sodium chloride
Sodium is needed for nerve transmission and helping vital nutrient intake.
Chloride is needed for the nervous system and regulating blood pH
So it's basically too much or too little of anything is bad for you cx the body is about balance, respect it's wishes it is the difference between life and death for you so don't take it for granted of course you're entitled to a treat, just in moderation.
Now excuse me while I devour this chocolate muffin •
no, ur salty attitude is the biggest sign you're eating too much salt.

While watching this video I began to taste salt in my mouth, anyone else?
That’s how you know you crave it man
I've never said can you pass the salt 😂😂
2 mins of filler at the start before actually telling the 9 signs, gotta do those 10 mins ads
Ikr. Just get to the point of the video!
My salted popcorn has a TON of salt in it and I always scratch the salt off the inside of the popcorn packet and I get clumps of salt on my fingers and I eat it, I feel sick now.

Omg I thought I was only one who does that to my popcorn bag😁😁😁

Actually salt is good, what Americans are missing is its partner Potassium...
In fact several times the illnesses related to salt in the video talk about potassium deficiency. I kept waiting on the pause moment when the guy was like "... Wait hold on is not to much salt is low potassium that is the problem!" didn't happen... Many cultures around the world eat 2-3 the salt Americans do and live longer healthier lives.
Finally someone who knows what they're talking about. 1,500 mg of sodium is FAR FAR too low and can actually cause half of the problems listed on here and even more problems including lower mortality! It's very serious. This time BS will have to take my dislike for misinformation. Sure the rest of the video is on point to what happens when you have too much, but that's almost entirely related to potassium deficiencies. If you're not potassium deficient (which most Americans are) then your optimum threshold is actually somewhere in the upper limits of 4-5k milligrams of sodium which can be an upward of 11 GRAMS OF SALT per day!!
This video is just trying way too hard.
MeatyPunk at least they tried
MeatyPunk o
They're obviously stretching it to 10 minutes.
“DO YOU LIKE SALT? GIVE THIS VIDEO THUMBS UP IF SO!”
???
nice and helpful video and I like your voice it is nice
So dehydration gives you headaches not lack of salt. I agree with your last point.
I salt my salt and yet my blood pressure is so low im not allowed to give blood
I queen my ants and I'm not allowed to bark like a chimp anymore.. 🐜🐜🐜🐜👑👑👸👸🐜🐜🐜🐜🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🙌🙌🎃🎃👽🐨
I have the same issue, recently figured out it's because of something called Dysautonomia (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome specifically). Most doctors don't know much about it, but I suggest you do some research into it and visit a doctor who would be able to diagnose you (or not if you don't have it) properly.
Despite barely having any of these signs I know that I am definitely eating too much salt. I can't help it though, especially in summer I am literally craving for salt. Once I even bought the overpriced chips packs at a train station just so I could lick the salt off them. What I found the most baffling aside of not having these symptoms was that beside taking in loads of salt my blood pressure is actually really low.
Sounds like adrenal issues maybe low aldosterone, I have the same issue
Here's a tenth sign, which I know from experience: If the meal that you have salted to an adequate degree according to your own taste is dubbed inedible by others, you're probably a salt addict.
I just love Rold Gold pretzels and go through a couple of bags a week and i don't have any of those symptoms.
I am a Gamer. Everywhere I go is too much salt.
salty people everywhere.
players these days are so salty
personal power your social skills videos are awesome!
Less than 1 TSP of salt a day...? Thats bologna....eating too little salt is worse for ur health....
Thanks 🙏🏾 you for this video that’s why I been feeling like that ima avoid this stuff
Never obsessed to salt, but my mom is and trying to make me eat one when I make my breakfast. Salt taste better when you are not obsessed and make a daily life of it. Tasteless or anything, use a pepper for the extra. Or sauce for the better without salt (I use chicken sauce, and it's much better)
Lol this channel is serious about life
Railey Cool09 that's the spirit 🙄
Railey Cool09, that's why I love this channel.
Railey Cool09 Growtopian!
Railey Cool09 nope its fake

Cook your own meals and replace some of your salt with Potassium Chloride. BUT limiting salt intake to low amounts is not the answer and actually has been shown to INCREASE MORTALITY.
Thank you
Ok this is exactly what I needed, i got some pink Himalayan salt & have been using it way more often. I have headaches and fatigue like crazy now 😩 super thirsty & bloated from salt and water retention
Obviously pizza taste better than raw brocoli.
