Dr. Sten Ekberg. what is the cause of high blood pressure ?
Dr. Sten Ekberg is iodized salt really good for you and how does it affect your body when you consume it?
Dr. Sten Ekberg what is a natural way of lowering your blood pressure ?
Dr. Sten Ekberg the problem with pink salt doesn't have enough nutrients if anything I'm the new cancer very minimal.
Thanks Doc. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I've learned more from Dr. Ekberg and Dr. Berg than I have my entire childhood of public "education". You're doing the Lord's work doctor.
Agreed!
What is really scary is that I probably learned more then my doctor.
Same here , and in 3 month
Depends which "public education"your exposed too
ill amen that & add dr ken berry to the list
I got so sick because I did not eat enough salt - I could not walk up the stairs and had cramps in my hands and legs. I ended up in hospital with a racing heart rate, they did tests and could not find anything wrong with my heart, they did however find that I had low sodium. After increasing my salt I started to feel so much better. The amount of people I have met who have become ill from reducing their salt intake is astounding.
They put arsenic in white salt that's what makes it toxic. Use pink Himalayan salt
Glad you are better.
How much salt do you eat now?
Thanks
So what is the amount of salt needed?
??

I used to work in a hospital and we had a lot of older patients come in for change in level of consciousness due to hyponatremia. Basically, not enough salt because their doctor told them to cut down on their salt intake. You need a certain level of salt in you body for proper brain function. Some older people will go overboard with doctor's instructions.
Also if you have low blood pressure, pinch of salt and little warm water will help to bring it up. Not all the time just in bad situations.
I am not surprised those older people went overboard. A 50+year old teacher I had in a nutrition class in college said she would not add any salt in her family's diet because she could get sodium in natural food. There were many other ridiculous things she talked about such as we should only drink fat free milk, coconut and avocado were bad because of their high saturated fat and calories.she also promoted drinking juice. I hated her class and that was one of the classes I got lowest grade besides political science because I didn't agree what she taught.
@@HHY-J316 bet the teach voted Biden...yep.
@@hangxiaohuz748 To be fair ,,, she is 87 and that;s a good innings for many countries
My late father used to liberally cover his regular roast dinners in salt then he would put a mound of salt on the side of his plate that he would dip a fork full of meat into it for good measure before consuming it. He lived to 90 years of age and was in pretty good shape and it was only ignoring a squamous cell cancer on his neck that finished him off.
Dr. Eckberg, after following your health education channel for a while, and implementing all your science, a grand report from my doctor this morning after 4 months healthy keto, my latest labs! A1C down from 6.6 to 5.8, triglycerides down from 171 to 86 HDL 51 up from 43 and fasting blood glucose down to 106 from 151! I am becoming a health champ!
Thank you Singing Mama for sharing your story. That is great. I am so happy you have had such great results. Keep it up! 😃 You are a Health Champ!
Thank you!
Congratulations ! It's a beautiful thing isn't it. Keep up with the Keto and exercise and future results should be just as great !
@@kahvac Thank you😊 I exercise everyday something I made a priority, but follow dr. E's advice on only doing hiit 1x a week and staying aerobic to avoid increased cortisol. Be well.
Wow great..... Inspiring 👌
My gosh! A competent Doctor! Who would have thought they still existed 😂
Yea and he irons his shirt!!!! 😮
It really is shocking how many charlatans are running around with med school degrees
Was there ever a competent doctor?
With the misinformation, I got in the 1980s and beyond, I used to avoid salt like a plague. Just recently I've increased my salt intake. Now I put Himalayan Pink Salt instead of sugar or sweetener in my tea coffee. Thanks for your video Dr. Ekberg.
You are welcome Manny.
I do as well! Love salt in my coffee! Grew up drinking evaporated milk and lots of sugar in my coffee. Down 60 pounds. Always fantastic info from this good Doctor!
It tastes awful when I forget the 3 pinches of Celtic salt in my coffee!
I also use butter from grass fed cows.
Yuck salt in tea gross!
@@andrewg3768 add cream or milk, salt taste good on creamy liquid
The more I watch these videos, the more I am convinced that this is some of the most substantial and insightful stuff there is on health. Thanks.
exactly. Thanks for expressing that for me too :)
Now there’s a Dr. who’s Worth His Salt! 😸
Andrew Strakele LOL !!
Thank you Andrew Strakele. LOL. I appreciate that😄
certainly is!!
Andrew, Dr. Sten is salt of the earth.
He is not Doctor Who mind you the last one was rubbish
This man is an absolute gift to humanity
Agreed ..it is for that reason why some Doctor's are so wealthy ..they are not telling patients the truth,they are just collecting a large sum of money and not speaking the truth....it is sad very sad.
I think one thing he’s not mentioning, though, is that if you have too much salt, your kidneys *have to work harder* to filter it out. This wears down your kidneys over time. (I love salt though)
So the conclusion is, you don’t want to have too much salt, and you also don’t want to have too little salt. Just eat a normal amount and eat a balanced diet, w/ plenty of water
@@charlesg7926of course however your body usually tells you if you get too little or too much depending on how salt tastes if you're low on salt you're gonna love it even in pure form
Thanks for explaining the difference between table salt and sea/pink salt. This goes back to a topic in one of the other videos where you said that hunger does not always mean you should eat, all that’s really needed is water with some pink/sea salt to give yourself the minerals. Also how hunger shouldn’t be taken as anything differently than feeling sore from working out. Endless upon endless amazing advice. Totally life changing
That last sentence comparing hunger pain to pain caused by working out - can you elaborate? Why is hunger pain the same as pain from physical exertion?
The minerals present in sea salt or pink Himalayan salt is in trace amounts. 0.01% of your daily _________ doesn't mean much to your body.
Is pink salt actually sea salt I thought sea salt was different ?
here in slovakia we dont have much iodine so we need a bit of table salt but still pink salt and sea salt are best
@@electric0618it’s not the same it’s a more like a comparison😊
Hey Dr. Ekberg -- Another well researched, thoughtful video. I note that there a 180 "thumbs up" and zero down. So thanks -- from me and the rest of your audience.
Thank you meta41. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it.
@@drekberg cheers Sten keep up the great advice really appreciated!
I eat a lot sodium (crave it). And my blood pressure is usually on the low end of normal or below. Never understood those studies. My sister hardly eats any, and always has headaches, complains of brain fog and fatigue.
Same here. I eat as much pink salt as I can. On the low end of blood pressure at 58 yo
As you get older many
Do become salt sensitive
Just keep trying to absorb his good info
Samesies
The researchers found that high levels of dietary salt caused a chemical change to a protein called tau. This change-phosphorylation-can cause tau to clump together in the brain. Clumps of tau are linked with some dementias, such as Alzheimer's disease.
I have a hypothesis that Salt is a contributor to cancer and the flu
I have been telling everyone I know to watch your channel for life/ health enhancing information. Your explanations and the white board are brilliant! My husband was a nephrologist and he has dementia now among a host of other ailments; he used to tell me better living through pharmaceuticals, I always disagreed, and NOW I have the information to back up what I felt was right ( and what worked for me)he will not change and he is only 66yo. Thank you again and again!
Thank you Kathy Cooksey. I really appreciate your feedback. Sorry to hear about your husband. Your story is one I've heard from hundreds of patients. My patient starts doing amazingly well, but there is nothing they can do to make their husband or wife come into the office or even take a look at a free seminar or video. A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. All we can do is sow seeds and provide the best example possible. Some will get it and some won't.
get him some methline blue, can help with brain problems
I brew my own coffee and always add a pinch of pink salt. Black coffee + organic grass-fed heavy cream. So good.
i do exactly the same , yum!
👍🌹👍💜
Pink dalt is exactly the same as normal sea salt or any other salt though. Its just marketing😉
Pink salir Is a big Fake. Do your research AND save money .
@@m.m.4609 exactly, pink salt Is an expensive big fake. There is not Salt in the Himalayas. It Is dyed common salt , or if imported ir Is common salt tintes by the dirt of pakistaní salines . Un contents Is just as common salt.
I've always known salt was good for me since the govt always told me it was bad and now I have some insight why. Thanks doc new sub here!
just as the vaccines, but opposite..
When ever did the government say salt was bad. It has always been for those high blood pressure runs in their families and I live in a third world country 🤦🏽♀️ SMH
@@achicha , try a search for "FDA salt" and you'll see what the government in the United States is saying right now. They've been saying pretty much the same thing for decades.
"It has always been for those high blood pressure runs in their families...." because those same families are eating the same foods that cause insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, just like the doctor pointed out in this video (did you even watch it?). What the parents eat, so do the children, and then the grandchildren, and so on. Sugar, refined starches, and GMO seed oils, are all very bad for blood pressure when consumed for years and years. This wasn't the same food your ancestors ate before the 20th Century (before 1900 AD).
@@achicha And where does that high blood pressure come from? Unhealthy diet, its not the salt....
@@daveleitz9107 the world does not revolve around America and the FDA. In my country processed foods are for the rich, government does not subsidise diary products or anything for that matter and people still have high blood pressure. Well stress and genetics is what we dealing with here because things are extremely hard economically. Yeah we still eat what our ancestors eat we use palm Oil, eat legumes and starchy root tubers meat is a treat, fish is cheaper and we have it mostly dried, we have new yam festival passed on by my ancestors to celebrate yams which are carbs, and carbs are apparently the devil to y'all LOL. My grandad is 85 and still working as an engineer but here you are asking me to review FDA.
Another Great Video Dr. Ekberg, I love the way you pronounce the word "Body". Many Many Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this Outstanding content. Don't listen to anyone complaining about them being to long, I want to hear everything you have to say. Only wish I was 40 years younger when I heard it. My late father told me a saying "To Soon Old, To Late Smart" Thanks Again, God Bless!
A few years ago I started consuming a few hundred mg of Himalayan pink salt before bed in order to prevent nighttime leg cramps. It worked quite well. I haven't awoken to a leg cramp since then. I've since switched to Mediterranean sea salt. My blood pressure is ok.
You're are an amazing and top of the line doctor I have ever encountered in my entire life! You should be more than proud of yourself! Your ability to sift out the noise and filter out the substance of a subject matter and deliver it in a very clear fashion is unparalleled. You're a great communicator with unmistakable depth in your knowledge of the subject matters you present. Thank you for everything you've doing to help us and empower us!
@ KINFU DAMENE You said it best! Exactly how many of us feel about this great educator; so generous with his knowledge.
I really admire Dr Sten Ekberg. His explanations are excellent!
Agreed, after watching his it’s crazy how much so many others leave out or are seemingly unaware of. But I’m sure most of them are just out for the views and likes part of it...
THANK YOU a million times, Dr. Ekbert! Everyone has been harrassing me all my life for my high salt intake, but I've always been craving it worse than anything else.
Thank you, I love salt and I feel I can have more of it, I almost always use pink salt.
Dr. told me to stop the salt due to high BP after 2 yrs no change. I love salt and use it a lot and have seen no change in BP. High BP is also overrated. good info about it here on RUclips.
Thank you for the knowledge Dr Ekberg.
May you tell us your usual meals?
3 types of breakfast
3 types of lunch
3 types of dinner
If possible🙂
There’s an expression: salt of the earth. Much like good to the core, it has a meaning.
Our Chinese grandparents preserved and ate dried salted fish and salted Chinese vegetables all year here in Saskatchewan, Canada and they both lived well into their mid 80s and early 90s without any major health problems. A well balanced diet and daily exercise is both mentally and physically is of key importance after 55. Drinking a lot of fluid is also highly important to keep the kidneys clean and well flushed (to prevent kidney stones).
People were physically active in the old days. Today we leadca sedentary life.
Here we have the 'light salt', which is composed of 50% sodium chloride and 50% potassium chloride. What is the advantage of this type of salt?
Amen! I salt all of my food especially since I workout 6 to 7 days a week. In my case it's better to have too much salt then not enough as an athlete.
I Come from North Queensland Australian. In the mid-70 The Australian Army Ordered all Salt to be removed of the Tables in all Messes. At the beginning of the year 1976, If I remember correctly, all Salt was removed. Later that year, in the Northern Australian Winter, Army Exercises are held. The Exercises last about two weeks, normally. The Infantry Battalions went into the field but most Troops only lasted three or four days. They were coming down with Sun/Heat stroke. The Exercise was called off.
A Study was done to find out why all these men came down incapacitated. The scientists found that the men were deficient in Salt in their systems. What wasn't taken into account is that the Studies that the Army had relied on (WOKEism) were all done in the Northern Hemisphere. Most people work in Highrise buildings & are working in a Clerical capacity.
Australia is a Country that has the most Caucasian people working in a Tropical Area. Australia Winter has temperatures like Europe's Summer. Most people, especially in Northern Australia, who work outside, need salt. Salt went back into the Army Messes post haste.
I think the point is that the more a person perspire (sweats) the more hydration, salt and other electrolytes they need. Many runners and athletes have had dangerously low electrolytes including salt, because of drinking water and not replacing the lost electrolytes
@@JeninNH All the Books & advice given by the "Health experts" are written by people in North America & Europe, they've gone to university & now work in some multi-story High-rise. I have read & have in my library dozens of books written by these people. None of the advice given is for people who work with their hands in Hot climates. Yet, even if you live in a rural area & do manual labour, you are given the same advice as for City folk. Clearly wrong.
@grahamjohnbarr Yes that maybe true however now there's people like Dr ekberg Dr berg and many others who are enlightening us to what it means to have good health and that a lot of what we were taught was often misconceptions or false misleading information. Back when I was a kid in the 80s I often heard that eggs were bad because they were full of cholesterol and in the 90s people were saying stay away from fats in food. There was no talk about good and bad fats. I was told that nuts were fattening because the oil/fat in them. I heard salt raised blood pressure and bad for the heart when we now hear we need enough salt along with all electrolytes. Eggs and red meat were considered bad in 80s and 90s and now are considered a superfood. Nuts are definitely healthy and have the more healthy fats along with nutrients protein and fiber. No doubt about it there was a time when people were more in the dark, so to speak, about what was healthy or unhealthy. I remember 20+ years ago that eating frequently small meals was better as it kept the metabolism up, and now people are saying how healthy it to intermittently fast, going at least 12-16 hours without eating.
@grahamjohnbarr I read a comment of someone who said that their grandfather who was born in 1874 in Southern usa and passed on in 1970 and lived to be 96, ate 6 eggs and bacon and other foods, every morning for many years and he also was very hard working. Never missed a day of work. He lived to be 96 even though he ate something every morning that some people would say will shorten a person's life. He was hard working active and needed all the fat protein and salt in his big bacon and egg breakfasts and he likely didn't spend many days being inactive and eating much or any processed junk food.
Great presentation. Thank you so much.
As supplemental information, I was told years ago the kidney reabsorbed the filtered fluids to raise the concentration of target removed substances allowing a second pass filtration that could be controlled to a more precise concentration or even more purified target concentration than possible with one filtration pass. The body’s sophistication is remarkable at so many levels.
My wife in the Philippine Islands learned a great deal. The filtration rate was eye opening for myself. God bless you.
So much information, so clearly explained. As talked about as sodium is, it’s nice to finally see how the body regulates it.
Long time ago people consumed salted preserves and apparently were doing well. Fine table salt is better for even dispersion in cold meals (salad, tomato juice) and stainless steel cookware, which can get corroded by chlorine if undissolved crystals rest on the bottom for prolonged period of time. This fault of modern food grade stainless steel is found across brands; they now make it softer than spoons or old bowls. Unrefined rock and pakistani salt also contains insoluble sand-like minerals, which are unlikely available to the body (unless they react with the stomach acid somehow).
Thank you Dr Ekberg; this was very interesting. I don't have a sweet tooth but I consume quite a bit of salt - especially in the summer when I crave it more. I've never listened to the popular narrative to do otherwise. My blood pressure is normal to low and I don't have any health issues that I'm aware of. I'm in my sixties.
I have been nagged almost all of my life to not have so much salt. In the end I went on a salt free diet and suffered from horrible cramps.
This video answered a question I’ve had forever of why so much potassium is recommended and that it’s hard to meet that requirement in out diet. Great to know our bodies reabsorb it when we’re short. Awesome! Thanks Doc!
My chickens love salt so much. I guess you are right, it's safe to consume much salt. No more stomach pain and also makes you thirsty too.
Thanks for the info, you’ve put my mind at rest concerning my sodium intake. The information was both interesting 🤔 and useful! I have a lot of potassium in my diet in the form of foods like avocados which I’m sure helps with the balancing process.
This was as usual excellent health info and the timing was unbelievable. I was using pink moderately and due to my ever increasing quest to improve I stopped just last week thinking an improvement but I’ll be returning using it, yeah! I love a little pink on some foods.
pink, black salt and sea salt are fantastic
As always you are analytical and comprehensive.
Thank you Venkata Ponnaganti. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
I have a teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt and a tablespoon of lemon juice in 500ml of water every day
Thank you John James. I sprinkle a little in most of my drinks.
Hello Dr. Ekberg, after two years of keto, I shocked my doctor with the following blood work results: total cholesterol: 526, LDL: 380, HDL: 149, LDL-/HDL ratio: 2,55, Triglycerides: 44, fasting blood glucose 84. My doctor said, he's never seen anything like that before, lol. He said I'm healthy and I don't need a statin. I'm glad he has a sense of humor! I was scared that he would pressure me into taking a statin.
I think Statins is mindlessly overprescribed.
You should add an Omega 6 vs 3 Ratio added to your blood tests. Today's processed food contains toxic amounts of Linoleic Acid, a major component in processed seed oils such as Soybean oil.
526? holy cow. what are the numbers now?
380 and no statin? find a new doctor.
@@markrush5013 I'm still alive, fit and healthy. 😃
Salt hydrates bones and regulates blood pressure. Controls how much water the body retains or gives off. Most importantly salt can pull heavy metals out through the skin.
Everyone is different right enough. I had high blood pressure, probably through diet and maybe genealogy. Studies have shown if you cut out all additional salt, you BP goes down, maybe 5 points. That means added salt is not the whole story, or it would drop more. The whole diet clearly has a more profound affect than the affect of adding extra salt at mealtimes. Great video chief.
Dr. Ekberg our present day Albert Einstein in the health field - Brilliant presentation!
NO, EINSTEIN was an occultist. Not good, along with his stick out Kali tongue.
I've been following Dr Ekberg's teachings for the last 30 days. I've implemented intermittent fasting, cutting out carbs and sugars and have lost 13lbs. Plan is to go from 220 to 185. Amazing how I can go 24 hours between eating without hunger. Love it.
i never understood why the recommendation is to eat so little salt .. it would be dangerously low if we would reduce it to such an insane level ..
in the time before friges .. people used salt to preserve food .. in such high rates .. if salt would be just HALF as dangerous as we're told the vast majority of the people would have died from overdosing ..
Thank you TheyCalledMeT. I agree. Thinking is becoming a lost art
We are returning to salt preservation (lacto ferment) as it's very easy and very probiotic. Especially the KETO followers. I'm preserving multiple vegetables inc. fine sliced cabbage (sauerkraut, with grated carrot and chilli pepper), carrot rounds (with grated ginger), cauliflower (with chopped onion and garlic) and others, and also making kefir and kombucha. They're all very tasty, love them. I even drink the left over juice from the vegetable preserves when they're finished - it's very tasty indeed, delightfully salty.
The lacto ferment removes most of the sugars from the food, there by rendering them very KETO compatible. So you can have as much carrot as you want if it's lacto fermented, as one example. With Kefir, it turns what is essentially a baby food, into an adult food - it's safe to all but live on Kefir (some people do apparently). Kefir is like a drinkable super natural yogurt. I flavor it with vanilla and a little coconut essence.
It was explained to me that because there is so much sodium in processed and canned foods that we were getting exceedingly much more than needed mostly hidden in these foods that was the culprit and the easiest way to control that was to restrict table salt intake. If u ever notice how much sodium is in canned foods or even frozen, it is appalling. My dr. said we only need about 2,300 mg per day. I did not notice Dr. Stan say anything about the body's minimum requirements for salt.
@@GailS.7777 i think he mentioned 3 grams more or less at the beginning, given healthy kidneys (1 teaspoon)
they are called lobbyists. it's their job to keep people in a state of anxiety.
I went a month without eating salt at all, i was desperat due to being sick and was experimenting with diet and a psychologist on youtube said salt was bad and should be avoided. No salt made me have muscle cramps, weird heart beats and overall it was a bad choice to avoid salt.
LOVE this content by Dr .. but one thing i personally really feel - the amount of Sodium mentioned in this video is actually UNDER stated .. a daily diet usually consist of much higher levels of salt eaten by most people's meals.
What a giant person in service to humanity. He should get a nobel prize!
I enjoy re-educating my dr during my checkups about high protein diet and salt I've been on for many years.
Doctors take high fee for consultation, you are not even educated for 0.0001 percent from them. You get so much from this Dr. Thanks a lot for free education and free advice !
Your going to chuckle over this one! I am a retired horse shoer, Farrier and I buy Himalayan salt blocks and then bust it up on my Anvil and when in small chunks then tap a chunk at a time as I need it and so on....lucky me o have an Anvil, lol
Nice, not all himalaya salt is the same anymore this days. I resently bought one that is more white and some darker pink chunks in it. It tastes more agressive like the cheap table salt and not like the usual himalaya salt. Im shure there mixed it. U do it the right way!
I just ate my himalayan salt crystal lamp! J/K
I have just changed over from my physician over to a Homeopathic Dr. When I went to see my family doctor all he ever done is look into my ears, eyes and ask if anything hurts and sent me home. I wanted a doctor to keep me healthy not just someone who just wanted look in my ears. Dr. Ekberg you sure opened my eyes!
This is the kind of advice I’ve always followed. A few months ago my doctor told me my blood pressure is life threatening, a lot higher than 140/90, medication is not working, something has to change.
I’ve lost the weight, see a nutritionist, and workout with a trainer 3 times a week. What’s that leave? Salt. He told me 1500 mg of salt per day.
It worked. 121/72 is my typical reading now.
I’m happy other people can eat a lot of salt because it really enhances taste, I just can’t.
You do you, it’s working! I don’t think the advice to eat more salt is going to work out well for most of these people.
salt is the symptom. how is your kidney function? get things to improve that
@@DANTHETUBEMAN salt is the symptom? Not sure I understand that.
I get blood tests routinely. The docs say my kidney and liver function is excellent. My blood pressure is now 120/60 (my trainer has been pushing my cardio for a while).
In the mid-to-late nineties, there was a science fiction show on the tube called Babylon 5 and it was set in 2257.
No longer did humanity have much of a concern about salt consumption, and at one point, the doctor made a reference to how earlier humans had it totally wrong about salt.
Now that you have received a very decent lecture on and about salt, there is still much to learn about the consequences of a prolonged salt deficiency.
Cheers
Hi Doc, what about Sweating? They say sweating also bring salt and kind of detox. Is that true? To me sweating is a way of the body to cool itself.
Dr. Stan, I have had high bp for DECADES…..this is the BEST explanation I have ever heard….thank you so much, I am switching to a natural sea salt and concentrating on controlling my egfr. I am 78 yo lady with type 1.5 diabetes since 1995, chronic kidney disease for 20 years, and cirrhosis. You give me hope and direction!!!!!🙏😁❤️
It just bristles me that some of these medical myths are still being perpetuated in this platform and from a lot of doctors ( some do not believe in the low sodium hype)
My mother went to the hospjtal because of low sodium and it nearly killed her.
We gave up salt because we were told it was bad for us, later my wife stated passing out and test showed she was low on salt, we never put it on the table and cooked without it. we still do not use a lot of salt compared to most people, in fact we were invited for dinner and one of the dishes was so salty it was hard to eat. I always tell people we don't use a lot of salt when they come to dinner so i leave a salt shaker on the table. also drinking to much water is not good. if you have low salt problems.
My mother is a kidney dialysis patient. When she comes back from treatment she eats organic sunflower seeds peeled with pink Himalayan salt and it brings her back to life and she drinks water.
Dr. Berg recommends that we should use Sea salt. Definitely better than table Salt.
Dr Eric Berg saved my life.
How about himalayan salt?
@@fatimahvitamin5764 yes use only Pink Himalayan salt. All the minerals no plastics
When I went to the ER because my BP as still to high the Nurse put saline solution in to keep my IV open, it caused my BP to drop from 185/93 to 117/79 in less than 20 min....
Every time I went to the emergency for heart attack symptoms, my chloride was completely crashed .there was none .no sodium either. it was on the blood work ..it's a big clue but no one talked about it ..or addressed it ..I had to figure it out myself..... Also get this ..my craving for salt was incredible people would comment and harass me about it one time my sister knocked the salt shaker out of my hand... And screamed at me. Little did I know it was actually saving my life and I craved it. Some people do not hold salt like they should it's a fact I don't know what it's called...
Sodium is lost in sweat as well. I have heard that other essential minerals are lost too when we eat more salt and drink more water.
The pink salt, presumably scraped off mineral-rich rocks could carry harmful heavy metals as well?
This amazing holistic doctor, Sten Ekberg, should be honoured with an award for his free public knowledge and advice about the human body and his steps towards good health.
His name should be remembered for many years to come.❤
I've often wondered how salty my internals are, especially after surfing 4-5 hours each day the waves are good. It sure has a cleansing effect, physically and spiritually.
Ancient Romans, Greeks and Arabs all understood the importance and value of salt to human diet. It was a very expensive trading commodity.
So true!
I use salt as I choose. I always have. I take it that tolerating the amount of salt I use and have always have used throughout my 68 years. My body must obviously need it but I do also maintain a regular fluid intake daily. I still have the blood pressure of an 18 year old so I am told. A cousin's husband was a fitness extremist during his life, refusing to allow salt to be used in cooking or even be in his house. He ended up dying at a reasonable young age. No I was never into junk foods. We lived many of our married life in isolated areas where there was no junk food outlets. I needed to do all our cooking. I honestly feel we only consume what we need. I have noticed when going onto sea salt and pink salt, I have developed thyroid issues. Yes I have recently purchased Iodine drops.
Excellent video Dr. Ekberg bringing more information about this essential mineral.
Thank you SELFCREATIVE. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it.
It is counter-intuitive, but sea salt does NOT have enough iodine in it for anyone. It's too pure. We need to turn to the iodine-accumulating ocean foods for that.
More than 20 years ago I read an article in Science regarding salt and BP especially. It was a debate between the "pros" and "cons" of salt in regard to BP. After all was said and done what came out was that it all depends on the individual. Some peoples' genetics make it so it can tolerate higher levels of salt than others'. But after more than 20 years the debate still goes on.
It's depend on which salt everyone take it... The good salt for health is unrefined salt. It's contain mineral not like refine salt which is no mineral at all
@@shrilsahri8706 true like pink Himalayan salts and Indian black unrefined salts
well today bp is 140/90 max as normal
Thank you Dr Stan Ekberg for this health informational video and all your other wonderful videos - I have learned so much from your’s and other health doctors’ videos. BECAUSE OF THESE HEALTH VIDEOS I have gone to a heavy carnivore/KETO Diet and now many to most of my autoimmune disease conditions have diminished and/or disappeared. Thank you.
My aunts doctor said you must stop taking salt in you're diet, that's what she did. After a while she became very sick, and was about to die she was in hospital recovering. Our bodies need some salt but not to much.
White salt is bad especially when they add arsenic to it which.they do. They suck all minerals out of it. Use pink Himalayan salt only
I eat very salty food all my life, and I don't drink anywhere near the 8 glasses of water a day, because I don't feel thirsty.
My bp is anywhere from 121-109 / 74-57 since 2009, the oldest records I can find.
The last one was 118/64 taken on 10/27 of this year.
I am 72 years old, and I don't take any medications. The only reasons for my health that I can attribute to are I am very active and I don't eat sweets.
That good that you healthy however I know people who smoke and live to be 100 but is that healthy do. When you is salty food you incrase th13 which incrase the risk of autoimmune diseases. Salty foods but stress on the kidney by decrease the function of the kidneys to filter out water resulting in have blood pressure.
I think we can blame most health issues on sugar, grains / cereals and lack of gentle exercise. Salt is important as long as you don't overdo it and as long as you are currently in fairly good health.
I'm not the brightest mind but intelligent enough to cope and strange/dumb enough to live healthy against the mainstream. My strong suit when I was younger (until ca 35 ) was I loved exercising, not sports more like constant moving in daily life. Even though I made many mistakes due to lack of education it kept me healthy above average. When I slightly felt age kick in I listened to and read up on health advice like No salt and lots of electrolytes, no acidity, no fats etc. My life deteriorated extremely far above the normal aging process. I even got a kidney stone because of it. Now I never do what others pretend to 'know' so well and live either average or what I have researched myself ( of course with the input by many, but processed by myself). One of the big mistakes I fell prey to by the 'experts' when I still believed those in the medical profession were indeed experts, was no salt, no fats. That is just an example of how screwed our health advice is.
Sharing your knowledge freely is a beautiful gift to humanity. Thank you.
I remember my grandmother telling me that all the salt I ate was going to dry up my blood.
Too much of anything is bad for you, but I never believed salt was bad for you.
Now, I feel that table salt is not so good, but I use sea salt to taste.
I'm 64 and it's never done me any harm. So there! lol
Sea salt may have micro plastics in it. Use pink Himalayan salt
I have a thyroid condition that causes me to sweat constantly. I constantly crave salt if I don't get enough salt I get muscle cramps. I can't get enough salt. With all the salt I eat my BP is always low or regular.
Thanks a ton Ekberg for the complete perspective on intake of Salt... Please do a video on balancing hormones naturally in women
It's always GOOD to hear from real medical professional and give consideration to what is being said...
Hej Dr Ekberg thank you this is really good to know. Esp in the Nordic country we are in, the salt intake is really high so definitely will share this amongst my swede friends here. Thank you for sharing and taking your time to do this. 🥰👍🏻
Thank you Lina Koh. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it.
Dr. Sten Ekberg pleasure Dr Ekberg 🥰👍🏻

As always this about salt is soo great explained thank you a millions times. Cool and cool and cool, never seen this kind of soo brilliant explanation. I love all your videos. 😇😁😉
Jees wish i wouldve known this 15 yrs ago...Im having serious bp issues these days at only 47 been very athletic most of my life and in good shape but these days i feel very little energy for the simplest of things...But im dedinitely gonna try this ...
Thank you for an insightful video. I was wondering if cramping after an extended physical exertion may be related to a lack of salt. I have heard that it is important to replenish electrolytes after sweating allot.
Thank you Ruan Barnard. It can be, but probably more due to potassium or magnesium rather than sodium
I’m a golfer and I perspire and cramp so much on hot days. I started using Himalayan salt capsules after a round. No more cramps. Got the capsules on Amazon. Give it a try.
This is amazing how the body is controlling all these elements and by specific amounts. There is no doubt there is a intelligent being that created all the information
I see you follow the 'I don't understand therefore God narrative of life'.
@@ianhepburn4250 God truly exists. It's the non-believers that are blind.
Indeed God exists and He Provides!!! Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour
Well said, thanks for the info. been trying to tell people this but you explained it better.
It should be noted that not enough salt in the diet can cause health issues. Consuming non-iodized salt can lead to a iodine deficiency, and many Americans are iodine deficient. I take sea kelp for my iodine source. Himalayan Pink Salt has a rich mineral content that includes over 84 minerals and trace elements such as: calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper and iron.
Thank you Dr. Eckberg!! NOW I know why at 80 years of age, that my blood pressure is starting to rapidly climb to 150/90, from what was, for YEARS, only 120/60-70! It never was before, but because I am now about 80 lbs overweight, the root cause, most likely for my hi blood pressure is caused by: too much, for to long.. insulin!! I will reduce my salt intake, go on intermittent fasts, and eat less in general, along with STOPPING the occasional snacks in between meals!!!! TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY!!
Thank you SO MUCH, SIR!! What a greatly informative monolog!!
Has it gotten better?
How's it going?
re: Avoiding table salt. What areas of the world are deficient in iodine, so that supplementation becomes necessary?
I have eaten salt since i was a kid. in the 7th grade my buds and I bought bags of David and Sons salted sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds salted. I sometimes add salt after I taste the food. my doc told me that I had HBP when I was 30. I didn't listen and my BP hasn't changed for many yrs. I am now 76, yipes. thanks, Dr. Ekberg.
I consider myself a Keto and IF success story, at least so far, Started Keto and IF mid Jan 2020, I have lost 5 KG's about 2.5 inches off my waste, Blood sugar has normalized (I was pre-diabetic) Blood pressure also normal, thanks to a lot of tips from the good Dr Ekberg
Thank you thehoppo for sharing your story. That is great. I am so happy you have had such great results. Keep it up!
Good work Dr. Consider this peer reviewed and approved from a fellow medical school survivor. Keep up the good work informing the public.
Another great video! I do still wonder about one thing. In the time I still did eat carbs, and I was doing sport, I used to sweat a lot and it was extreme salty (going over my skin with a finger and it was all white). Now I'm on IF keto that's no longer the case. My guess, my body didn't get rid of excess salt by the kidney but trough the skin? Or is there an other explanation?
I got told my blood pressure was going up over twenty years ago. I gave up added salt. I rarely eat any form of takeaway, nor any foods that have added salt. Now I have been told I have high blood pressure! So it isn't salt that is causing it!
I have just realised, I gave up salt, table salt and afterward I developed an under active thyroid. I would never have even connected the two except for this video!
Off to the salt mines then.
Thank you The Modern Hermeticist. LOL😂
The Danakil....
The Siberian Saltmines are the best. Free salt with a hard days labor.
If our body is so good at retaining and excreting salt then what about hypo/hypernatremia?
Thank you, Dr. Ekberg!! I have been on an interesting journey this past year with reducing my salt intake due to blood pressure issues and unexplained migraines. I slowly reduced all sodium to 'see what would happen', and my results have led me to a new BP averaging 120/80 - 117/70 and zero migraines. However, I have been concerned with the low salt intake and hyponatremia possibilities because what I have discovered is that if I consume more than 300 mg of sodium, the migraines return, and below that number, I feel healthy, but that's a very low salt consumption. This is problematic in one stance due to the hidden amounts of sodium in our food supply, not even counting canned, boxed, and processed foods. For instance; raw chicken breast and most meats have a brine or sodium content between 45 mg - 180 mg per 4 oz; 1 egg contains around 70 mg; some root vegetables contain natural sodium due to their iodine content. For most people that's not a big deal. So if I want to eat, I have to make it. Luckily I have a culinary background. With my 300 mg limit of sodium intake, I discovered through rigorous experiments with my diet, all the above foods add up the sodium pretty quickly in a day. I must also only consume these foods in a timely manner and not all at once, because, unlike glucose, I can't correct it quickly. Other hidden sodium compounds also exist in our mouthwash and toothpaste, and I just discovered that one last week. I look forward to listening to your other videos, thank you again!!
Hello how are you doing today?
Good thank God.
Glucose levels also compound with salt to affect the total blood pressure effect. While modern medicine says to avoid the salt, they are mum on saying avoid the sugar (and starches which easily convert to glucose). Glucose also causes water retention. Lower the stored glucose in your system and lose the water that went along with it. Blood pressure comes down readily, without taking any medication and suffering the side effects. Through simple adherence to a Keto diet, I dropped 20 points of blood pressure. I eat more salt than I used to (never was a real salt Craver) for the sake of creating more HCL acid for digestion.
