What a joy to see Dr. Fuhrman's excellent job in bringing up such a lovely, educated and brilliant daughter as well as his excellent nutritive diet teaching us all! BLESSINGS!
Having gone whole food plant based diet 3 months ago I've had a hard time finding certain foods or condiments that are truly low sodium. For example I've started eating black beans almost daily but I prefer the convenience of organic canned vegetables. I'm happy to report that most of the groceries in my small town stock no salt added canned black beans, with only 10 mg natural content per serving. To spice up my potatoes and veggies with no added table salt I have found only two products I really like that are also low sodium...Texas Pete's low sodium salsa at 45 mg per 2 tbsp serving; every other salsa on shelves has at minimum triple that amount. BBQ sauce, Foy's BBQ for both mild and hot are just 35 mg per 2 tbsp serving. Another spice or flavoring I use daily now is Balsamic Vinegar which is salt free. For about two weeks I kept detailed record of daily salt intake, and I recorded a low of 600 mg, with high about 1200. I didn't record natural amount in whole fruits/veggies. Since I recently found the low sodium salsa and bbq sauce, and switched just last week to Ezekiel flax sprouted bread I feel I've cut my daily sodium intake by another 200 or so mg.
This is a video im going to watch a few times again. So helpful and informative. Ud give anything for medical providers to GET EDUCATED on nutritarian Eat to Live healthy life info! My dr didnt even notice my almost 60 pound wt loss. I brought it up to medical assistant and tried to share how my stamina and life has changed since Feb 2023 when i started Nutritarian, and, i no longer need my Celebrex nor omeprazole fir GERD. Didnt even get a peep out if Medical Asst nor dr. Not even a kudos re wt loss. Im proud of myself for sticking with Nutritarian. Thank you so much for this info re sodium! Im still working to rid some symptoms of my leg lymphadema. I hv to watch every single hidden mg of sodium even in organic low sodium veggie broth! My foot, ankle, leg will start to swell up. But nothing like when i was in S.A. D.! That says a lot.. Nutritarian keeps me from lymphadema leg going into stage 3. But im determined to rid all symptoms!
Wow. That is absolutely shameful on the part of your doctor. They knew, but withheld praise and kudos due to their own issues. So unkind!! What you’ve done is amazing and deserves all the support and encouragement!!🙌🏼❤️
There are other doctors like Dr. Goldhammer with True North and Dr. Gregor also talks about the dangers of salt. Chef AJ has also talked about ditching salt. I appreciate Dr. Furman and all the pioneers that discuss the dangers of sodium
So many people frequent restaurants, which are loaded with salt, sugar and oil. Once you get addicted to eating this way, it is very hard to eat healthy. I keep my meals simple and easy at home. When I eat at a restaurant, I know I am off course. I don’t see it as a reward or treat.
When I stopped eating added salt I lost weight, my inflammation, joint stiffness, lower back pain, knee pain, & puffiness went away. When I eat some, it comes back. That’s the only “study” I need.
Very good presentation. Thank you. Now I can refer people to this video instead of having to constantly explain why I no longer eat salt other than getting it naturally from my way of eating Nutritarian. They always argue with me and just can't seem to understand (or don't want to understand) why I don't eat at restaurants with them.
I relate... but until restaurants start opening up that offer Nutritarian options, I cringe when I agree to spend time with friends that want to eat at restaurants. I need the social life, but I bring own salad dressing and have to order side dishes of fresh fruits, vegies and salads with only fresh vegies. Most Americans will never be willing to give up their pleasure foods. I share Fuhrman's videos and some friends start asking me questions. That's how I open conversations in a loving way. But I'd give anything to find local Nutritarian friends to hang out with!! It's painful to even see some of the healthy pasta sauce, veggie broth sodium levels. I'm proud of you for sticking with Nutritarian! This video is very informative!! I've been shocked that Americans are being subjected to high sodium levels in every store bought item.
@@susansculley2562 I'll be going to the National Health Association's 75th Convention coming up this coming week and all the eats there are SOS free and Nutritarian compliant!!! This would be the first time ever that eating 'out' will be stress free!......and I'll be eating there for 4 days! Maybe I'll see you there!
I have a jarred pasta sauce trick to reduce the sodium. I cut it with plain tomato paste which is salt free, and add additional herbs, spices and a drop of vinegar to compensate for less salt. At this point, if I just had straight jarred pasta sauce, I'm sure it would taste too salty to me.
Great Idea! You know, I bought the "no salt added" tomato paste for years before I found out that the regular tomato paste doesn't have any salt either! But you still have to check the labels because some brands do contain salt.
I v done dna testing for my nutritional deficiencies And on the list i was told to stop the salt But i have to balance what i hear I sprinkle 1/4 tea spoon Himalaya salt on my food And take iodine and b12 I m wfp mostly I learned from listening to dr joel,McDougal, etc It's been 7 years I feel i m never die
Dr Fuhrman, please let me know if I am at risk of Hyponatremia if I cut out salting my food altogether? I am a vitamin and mineral conscious raw vegan. (Healed 2 skin conditions) Though need to work on getting your algae derived EPA/DHA! Thanks, Rose.
oh my !!! this is the BEST talk on salt!!! THANK you Dr Fuhrman and Jenna! I have a question,... I have friends that are advocates of salt and salted foods is that hospitals don't give plain water IVs but only saline IV drips. Because plain water IV drips would kill a person? And that proves that the human body needs salt added to our diet and water. Can you explain your thoughts on this? thanks so much ! Cindy
I am not a doctor but I know for sure that if a patient has lost lots of salt due to sweating, loose motions (likely your friends?) etc, then saline IV is usually the quickest way to bring it back to normal level. Btw, some patients may require glucose IV too especially if blood sugar level has gone too low . Sodium is naturally present in many vegetables, fruits and grains etc: If you eat them in right portions/balance, you never need extra salt (with some exceptions, as mentioned above).
Japanese salt their food and they have one of the best longevity numbers. Primitive tribes that don't have access to salt supplies will also not have access to refined sugar. When British sought to tax the salt supply of people of India they triggered rebellion because the Indians needed the salt just to live.
I was a saltaholic my whole life, but I completely eliminated added sodium to my diet 3 months ago. But a weird thing happened. My blood pressure dropped almost immediately. It actually got way too low. But that's not the weird part. I started adding some salt back into my diet to raise my blood pressure back to normal levels. But just a little wasn't working, so I kept increasing. I am now eating as much salt as I was before I gave it up, and here is the weird part... my blood pressure is still too low. How is this possible?
Love you both 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Now, are we talking processed table salt OR Himalayan salt ? What about Celtic salt ? Or is salt just salt (I’m assuming yes) can you specify the differences ? 😊 thank you.
My last doctor’s visit we were talking about my low blood pressure. It can be around 90/60 but usually 110/70. I told her some times I feel dizzy when I stand and she said it could be my blood pressure. She recommended adding salt to my diet. I was skeptical of this and didn’t do it. What do you think?
In my opinion, as a lay person who has followed Dr. Fuhrman for years, you are right to be skeptical and not intentionally add salt to your diet. Then, the question remains- do you need treatment or a further work-up? I would say that if the dizziness only lasts 10 or 20 seconds, when changing from sitting to standing, then just wait until it subsides before walking away from the chair. If the dizziness is more pronounced (lasting minutes, contributing to a fall) then it seems that a further medical work up would be advisable. Hopes this helps!
I use mostly sodium free products and don’t add salt during the cooking process. However I took the advice of Dr. McDougall and just sprinkle salt on the top of my food as needed while I’m eating. That way the salt is right on top and you can taste it and it’s not lost in the cooking process.
I use pink salt No high BP no heart decease No diabetic High risk for stroke because of my dad who was very unhealthy I am 77 What do you think I swim and walk every day
Thanks for great informations. I wonder people use excess salt in their foods plus consume a lot of packaged foods and bottled drinks. Most people consume at least a 10,000 mg sodium per day.
If someone said they had to drink tons of water because they were always peeing, you would probably suggest that they had it backwards. But people (especially people who exercise) say essentially the same thing about salt.
Doctor I just want to ask question, I don't eat a lot of salt I add very tiny 😊...that explains why I don't sweat Ok how about the people with high stress ( Adrenal insufficiency do they need more sea Salt)
"Salt" is sodium CHLORIDE. 3 parts chloride to 2 parts sodium by weight. So you can't say "sodium" unless you have eliminated chloride as the independent variable (not easy). Some research suggests that the "baddie" might be the chloride not the sodium. See discussion in "Can You Catch A Cold?" one of the best books ever.
Really great talk about why avoiding salt is super important. Very motivating, but is males it nearly impossible to eat anything ready made ixcept dr. Fuhrmans no salt product. Is it possible to buy in Europe 🍀💚🙏
My blood pressure is on the low end of normal and I often feel dizzy and have difficulties with my resistance training 4 times a week due to the dizziness. Should I add salt or no?
Each teacher say different thing. There is fear of all food nowadays. Fear creates lack of gratitude and creates illness. What do you think why God creates salty ocean water? Why our tears are salty? Our adrenal glands need salt. Try to eat good quality salt like celtic sea salt ( no microplastic like people say), Redmond salt. Eat a little bit of salt and see how you feel. Gaia brand hawthorn berries capsules or tincture herb will raise your blood pressure if it is low and will lower your BP if it is high. Hawthorn berries herb is good for heart..
How old are you? My 40 years old sister called me and said her legs felt weak. She could not stand on her feet being a cashier. I told her to take multivitamin and GARDEN OF LIFE brand calcium to strengthen her bones. After a month taking them, she was cured. Before that, she went to many doctors, none of them could help her. Sometimes our body is deficient of nutrients, we have to supply. Nowadays, there is bad reputation on calcium blocking arteries. Well, vit d3 and k2 will help bring calcium to the bone, not arteries. After you feel better, stop taking calcium supplements. Just eat food rich in calcium. K2 supplement might cause heart and prostate issues also. So,get k2 from food also. But in the meantime, in order to heal your legs, take garden of life raw calcium supplement ( the green box), and good multi. I take garden of life multi also. For this multi, you can take all your life. But for calcium supplement, take for few months only. Then, get calcium from food. You do not have to buy garden of life brand. But to me, this company is good.
What about vegetables? 100g of celery has 16 calories and 80mg sodium. 100g of spinach has 23 calories and 70mg sodium. So your ratio doesn't even work with raw vegetables. Can you please explain this? I’m a Nutritarian and just trying to have a clear understanding on this topic.
@drfuhrman thank you Doc! Your right. Today was the first day I didn't salt a thing ... I got anxiety thinking my terrible habits did irreversible damage 💛🌤
Dr. F, if it is true that the Scandinavian Countries and Japan, have both higher salt intake that we do here in the US, and are much healthier in the area of CVD, blood pressure and Stroke, why is that not a rationale for allowing salt if it can be in a diet as it is with them. btw, have all your books & cookbooks, we are doing the Nutritarian live-style, and have attended your talks when you have be here in Seattle; would love clarification on this point.
Good question. 🤔 I'm wondering about calcium because many doctors recommend calcium supplements as we get older. I hear calcium can add to plaques and hardening of arteries. Maybe the Scandinavians don't take the supplements americans take and so don't have as much heart problems.
Does this apply to just table salt which is a man-manufactured combination of sodium and chloride or does it also apply to Celtic Sea Salt and pink salt that contains at least 84 different naturally occurring minerals. Why do some of the best natural healing centers and some other holistic doctors tell their patients to cut out ALL table salt, but to ADD these sea salts and pink salts. The well-known and highly respected Barbara O'Neill supports the use of Celtic Sea Salt. Even among doctors who support and recommend WFPB diets argue with each other about so many dietary issues. It's so confusing. They all present sources to back up their arguments, but they still debate. Who knows what's accurate? Barbara O'Neill has a video on Salt. She says: Table salt is dangerous because it is highly processed. Refined salt is made up of two harsh minerals that can be harmful if injected into the blood. Celtic Sea Salt, on the other hand, is made from hand-harvested seawater that contains a balanced mix of 82 minerals, including magnesium, which can help water to be absorbed into cells. The transcript also discusses how an imbalance of sodium and potassium levels in the body can lead to high blood pressure, and suggests that using Celtic salt can help to maintain a healthy balance and lower blood pressure. The number one vital element needed for life is oxygen. The second most vital element needed for life is water. You can go three minutes without oxygen, but you can go a couple of weeks without water. Where there is no water, people do not usually live. Many people do not like water, or have negative reactions to drinking it, which may indicate that the water is not being absorbed into cells. The third most vital element needed for life is sodium. The fourth most vital element needed for life is potassium. Sodium is found in the highest concentration in seawater, which contains 92 minerals. Approximately 30% of the minerals in seawater is sodium, and approximately 50% is chloride. Table salt is dangerous because it contains two harsh minerals that can be harmful if injected into the blood. Potassium is the highest concentration of minerals inside cells. Sodium is the highest concentration outside cells. Sodium and potassium pumps in cell membranes maintain the balance between the two. When someone does not eat enough fruits and vegetables, which are high in potassium, and consumes too much table salt, the sodium levels rise and potassium levels drop, causing cells to swell and potentially leading to high blood pressure. Doctors recommend using Celtic salt to help lower high blood pressure because it contains 82 minerals in a balanced form, including magnesium which can help water absorb into cells.
Jenna is a sweetheart. She's out there helping to bring dad's message to the world.👏
And she's a good interviewer. She asks the right questions to keep things clear.
Is she his daughter?
She is a martial artist. Ate nutritarian and grew up watching a lot of Jackie Chan. Isn't as sweetheart as you bet. 😂😂

Great question...
I have no heart decease My grandma never stop the salt and died at 104 and had no heart decease Died of old age
Imagine she could have possibly lived to 110 if she managed her salt intake.
I compared the sodium in an Amy's no cheese pizza, and it had far more than a 200 gram bag of Lay's BBQ chips. Sneaky.
borderline curmudgeon and an awesome wealth of knowledge. thank you for the wisdom

But not everyone has high blood pressure or is prone to.
i'd be happy if now just make sure the sodium content is increased in all the pet food aisles
What if you barely eat carbs, like under a 100 grams of net carbs, don't you lose more sodium like the keto people always say?
