What's everyone's thoughts on consuming salt?
Some folks act like salt is the devil, others say the whole thing is blown way out of proportion.
Not gonna lie, I love salt. I probably get 5-6 grams of sodium a day, so like 15g of salt. I just feel way better when my sodium's up, especially since I sweat a ton doing cardio. The UK says to keep it under 6g of salt, but honestly, I'd feel like trash on that. I eat a lot of veggies and fruit, so my potassium's high too. I use that Lo Salt stuff sometimes, the 50/50 sodium and potassium one, maybe 2-3g a day for a bit of extra potassium.
My blood pressure's usually around 110/70. If I cut salt too low, it tanks and I just feel wiped out.
How much are you guys getting in a day? Anyone else feel better with more salt, or nah?
I use Celtic sea salt, not the regular table stuff. Even the fancy salts are pretty cheap. Anyone got a go-to brand?
Thanks
