“If we don't correct the root cause of hypertension, which is insulin resistance, we must get rid of the sodium. The problem is that sodium is critical for so many functions in the human body. We know that it in individuals who are insulin resistant, who limit their sodium, they will have more orthostatic hypotension, meaning they get up, they get light-headed, and they can fall over or black out. They will have more erectile dysfunction. They will have lower blood volume, lower energy.”
“in individuals who are insulin resistant who limit their sodium they will have more orthostatic hypotension meaning they get up they get lightheaded and they can fall over or black out they will have more erectile dysfunction they will have lower blood volume lower energy”
“limiting your sodium too much will cause you to feel miserable cause all of the issues I've talked about orthostatic hypotension potentially erectile dysfunction and you will activate your renin andriot tensin aldosterone system”
“so what we know is that when you limit salt there's an increased incidence of postural hypotension getting dizzy when you stand up erectile dysfunction in men potentially increased risk of Falls with postural hypotension and dizziness so salt limitation is not something that humans should be doing”
“If you are strict about a low salt diet, the only things you're going to accomplish are increased hypotension or lightadedness when you stand up, erectile dysfunction, and an increase in stress hormones in your body like eldoststerone.”
