Restricting sodium intake to below 500 mg/day can lead to insulin resistance.

“and then the flipside is that if we get too little sodium our body will do this system exactly where the renin-angiotensin yeah aldosterone system will be activated in order to conserve sodium and that will create some degree of insulin resistance just to hold on to”
“there are studies showing that when we restrict sodium to low we can become insulin resistant and the the what will happen is insulin will go up and aldosterone will go up”
