I’m no medical professional, but I follow quite a few of them. It seems salt is only an issue if you already have BP issues, but it’s actually too much insulin that elevates BP in the first place… not sodium. We can do ourselves a lot of harm by under-consuming sodium. In fact, I was close to 4 days into a water fast last week when I had my annual physical and my sodium was too low so I need to come back in 2 weeks for repeat labs. My doctor advised me to break my fast… though I know it’s just that I hadn’t been drinking enough Snake Juice and id I’d been better, I wouldn’t have had to break it. I stopped at 5 days fasted.
I do find it helps to get water in though, adding the salt and potassium chloride. I got kind of addicted to the salty lemon flavor and I couldn’t stop sipping on it, especially over ice.
The quicker you can quit any and all soda the better. That shit is trash! 2L of Snake Juice per day is what you need, and it makes sure you get the daily recommended amount of potassium and sodium needed to function.
