Description:
258 pages ; 24 cm
Contents:
Introduction: Don't fear the shaker -- But doesn't salt cause high blood pressure? -- We are salty folk -- The war against salt -- and how we demonized the wrong white crystal -- What really causes heart disease? -- We are starving inside -- Crystal rehab: using salt cravings to kick sugar addiction -- How much salt do you really need? -- The salt fix: give your body what it really needs -- Epilogue: Reach for the right white crystal.
Summary:
"We all know the dangers of sugar and salt: but the danger attributed to the second white crystal has more to do with getting too little of it, not too much. Aleading cardiovascular research scientist and doctor of pharmacy overturns conventional thinking about salt and explores instead the little-understood importance of it, the health dangers of having too little, and how salt can actually help you improve sports performance, crush sugar cravings, and stave off common chronic illnesses. Too little salt in the diet can shift the body into semi-starvation mode and cause insulin resistance, and may even cause you to absorb twice as much fat for every gram you consume. Too little salt in certain populations can actually increase blood pressure, as well as resting heart rate. We need salt in order to hydrate and nourish our cells, transmit nerve signals, contract our muscles, ensure proper digestion and breathing, and maintain proper heart function. The Salt Fix will show how we wrongly demonized this essential micronutrient as well as explainwhat the current science really says about this misunderstood mineral and how to maximize its effect so you can enjoy ideal health and longevity"---Provided by publisher.

We've all heard the recommendation: eat no more than a teaspoon of salt a day for a healthy heart. Health-conscious Americans have hewn to the conventional wisdom--that your salt shaker can put you on the fast track to a heart attack--and have suffered through bland but 'heart-healthy' dinners as a result. What if the low-salt advice is wrong? Dr. James DiNicolantonio, a leading cardiovascular research scientist, has reviewed over 500 publications to unravel the impact of salt on blood pressure and heart disease. He's reached a startling conclusion: The vast majority of us don't need to watch our salt intake. In fact, for most of us, more salt would be advantageous to your health. The Salt Fix tells the remarkable story of how salt became unfairly demonized--a never-before-told drama of competing egos and interests--and took the fall for another white crystal: sugar. In fact, too little salt can: * Cause you to crave sugar and refined carbs. * Send the body into semi-starvation mode. * Lead to weight gain, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and increased blood pressure and heart rate. On the other hand, eating the salt your body desires can: * Improve everything from your sleep, energy, and mental focus to your fitness, fertility, and sexual performance * And stave off common chronic illnesses, including heart disease. Dr. DiNicolantonio shows the best ways to add salt back into your diet, offering his transformative five-step program for recalibrating your salt thermostat to achieve your unique, ideal salt intake. Science has moved on from the low-salt dogma, and so should you--your life may depend on it.
