My summation: Salt is neutral. If you eat a lot of salt, you will use what you need and excrete the rest. If you eat less salt, you will excrete less to retain it. Salt can make your body more hydrated. You mentioned that salt is useful in detoxification. When you use stored body fat, you release toxins that you stored from previous exposure, so salt may be necessary in weight loss. If salt tastes good, use it. If it doesn't taste good, don't use it. I'm a 3 year carnivore. When I cut out salt completely because of a "belief" that some carnivore shared online, I had my first ever fainting spell. I regularly fast so after a busy day of housework and not eating for over 20 hours because I was distracted, I passed out five feet from the top of my stairs. Since then I eat salt if I want it and can fast around my busy life without issues. Everyone is different which is why learning to listen to your hormonal cues is helpful.
Taurine regulates the body's level of sodium, electrolytes, iron, and other minerals. It ensures one neither has too much or too little. There is enough salt in animal foods to maintain health, as long as one has sufficient taurine. That is the problem. Modern humans generally don't eat enough fish and fresh ruminant meat, while also tending to overcook their meat. See Harry Serpanos' CZcams channel.
When you cut out salt completely, it takes the body a few weeks to adjust and down regulate sodium elimination. It's temporary. Many long term carnivores have eaten no salt for years and are perfectly healthy.
@@wocket42 no, i mean they have not eaten any added salt. The sodium naturally present in the meat is sufficient to meet their needs. Salt is an inorganic mineral compound of sodium and chloride, but the sodium present in food naturally is an organic mineral. They are not the same.
She´s simply amazing in her dedication to all things health-related and she´s so open to learning. Like a true scientist, she has no problem in saying she has changed her thoughts on a subject if very good sound research adds something new to her beliefs/theories. I appreciate her like no one else.
Salt is essential for the cellular osmosis pump (COP) to activate.. for the cellular osmosis pump (COP) to activate freely the blood and lymph (fluid outside the cells) needs to be cleaner than the intracellular fluid (inside cell). A clean way of eating like a strict lion diet at about 2-3 weeks will start to activate the COP. The detox at this point can be quite extreme if not expecting it.. The reason why a strict carnivore way of eating is essential as it removes the plant defence chemicals from the system which the cells protect themselves from by stopping / limiting the cellular osmosis pump flow. Coffee and teas and garlic will stop the COP as these are toxic to the cells. Good salt (unrefined natural sea salt) as plasma (dissolved in water) helps the blood and lymph cleanse and helps the blood plasma remain fluid at ideal level of ~9 grams of sea salt per litre of water. I now only drink plasma (water with sea salt at 9g per litre) I have removed plant drinks: coffees teas and alcohol as these all hinder the cellular osmosis pump from activating.

This is typical of salt discussions, that is one hears over and over about sodium, but the body's need for chlorine for the start of digestion in the stomach is never mentioned. At least in modern times, there sure seems to be a lot of digestion problems in lots of people, that starts with low stomach acid. Low stomach acid is the typical cause of acid reflux, not too high stomach acid. Low acid prevents the lower esophageal sphincter: valve from closing. A certain level of acid Ph is required for this valve to close. So acid reflux happens typically due to low stomach acid. And proscribing an antacid is malpractice, in my humble opinion.
I started to eat alot of celtic sea salt and potassium/magnesium 1 month ago Eat carnivore for 3 year. Before i never added extra salt Got real sick in mars 2022 nerve problems with alot of pain and yellow fatty turd. When i started add salt..... My turd got normal brown and my nerve pain dissapear....
@@sveneriksson7319 sounds like you caught a stomach bug that destroyed your bacteria that help with bile acid synthesis and FXR signaling. Sodium loss thru bowel voiding /vomiting can trigger a cascade of gut problems and nerve issues thru rapid swings in sodium levels thru "osmotic demyelination". May have caused nerve pain thru that driving neuropathy. It would act a lot like low bile and lipid function in diabetes causing peripheral neruopathy. FXR signaling is needed for the body to recognize fats in the intestine and is used to tell the liver/gall bladder to release bile into the intestine. When this is dysfunctional, you get yellow fatty feces cuz it ends up being poorly digested. This was happening with my Crohn's disease until I started drinking a prebioitic/probiotic blend with high levels of bacteria that help with fat digestion / FXR. I also increased m taurine/glycine/cysteine and added salt as a source of sodium. ( cycling a kefir + kokmbucha) and drinking salt water until it was sour tasting. I had to do this for a couple of years until I did an FMT, as the mucus in my intestine wasn't very good and it was hard to maintain a colony of healthy bacteria. Its neat that you figured out salt could fix it. Most people just cut their fat intake and give up with keto it seems.
@@ultimape Salt intake is related to the bodyweight also .. A 110lbs human has around 200grams of salt in body... A 220lbs has 400grams salt in body A 330lbs has 600grams of salt in body A 440 lbs has 800 grams of salt... Bigger body = need eat more salt I never added salt to my food for over 20 years.. Also before eat carnivore i allmost only eat veg oils seed oil products...
I supplement potassium and magnesium but not sodium on a ketogenic diet after much experimentation. I don’t pretend to understand all that amber says but I love her and it seems to tie in with my personal experience…😊
As long as you're getting enough taurine, you should simply salt to taste. But if you're not getting enough taurine, all bets are off. Taurine regulates levels of salt and electrolytes, ensuring you neither have too much nor too little. The problem of deficiency comes up because people not eating enough fish and fresh ruminant meat. For example, beef hung in a meat longer for months will mean 2/3 of the taurine drains away with the fluids. Also, cooking meat too much can eliminate half of the taurine. This is why so many people are taurine sufficient, sometimes even when they are eating a lot of animal foods. The additional problem is that, for all humans, endogenous production of taurine declines over time. The problem with the keto diet, including ketovore, is that it restricts protein and hence restricts taurine. This is why it's necessary to supplement salt and electrolytes on these low-protein diets. This nutrient is a master regulator of numerous biological systems. Relevant to this discussion, taurine regulates the body's levels of sodium, electrolytes, iron, and other minerals. It ensures that there is neither too little or too much. But on a traditional diet, plentiful of fish and fresh meat from recently slaughtered animals mean they're in a continuous taurine surplus. Check out Harry Serpanos' CZcams channel. He has a wealth of info.
Its neat how Taurine supplements rescue mice from the impact of FMT transfer. When they take human FMTs from different diseases and put them in the mice, they seem to exhibit the symptoms. You may wanna explore how endogenous production of taurine ends up correlating with gut bacteria health. They seem to play a role in bile acid conversion.
My blood pressure is too low (resting in the evening 92/58, morning waking 77/44), so I'm adding salt. Turns out that low blood pressure is a risk factor for glaucoma, which I've developed.

zero sodium is even possible? I mean almost in any natural food sources there is some sodium and it is easily to take few grams of sodium consuming animal diet or at least 1 gram consuming plants
I supplement my drinking water with electrolytes simply because after all the water 'cleaning' processes the water no longer has the electrolytes it would normally have. But I stick to a large affordable bottle with nothing else added.
Could the increase in fat consumption, in carnivore diet, lead to a lower need of salt (or increase need for low salt :-). I tried to up fats and started after a week to have oedema and night sweats.
