About this listen
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. Too little salt can shift the body into semi-starvation mode, causing insulin resistance, and may even cause twice as much fat to be absorbed for every gram that's consumed.
Too little salt in certain populations can also actually increase blood pressure as well as resting heart rate. In order to hydrate and nourish our cells, transmit nerve signals, contract our muscles, ensure proper digestion and breathing, and maintain proper heart function, we need salt.
In this book, a leading cardiovascular research scientist and doctor of pharmacy overturns conventional thinking about salt and explores 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.

But the truth, as Dr. Fung reveals in this paradigm-shifting book, is that type 2 diabetes is reversible. Writing with clear, persuasive language, he explains why conventional treatments that rely on insulin or other blood-glucose-lowering drugs can actually exacerbate the problem, leading to significant weight gain and even heart disease.

Eye Opener
This book is an eye opener. it is put out in a logical way though i need to discuss and debate with a nephrologists and family physician about the truth behind these. you can live without sugar (which is the real culprit for all heart diseases) for your lifetime. but you cannot live without kidney for more than few days. your kidney processes many pounds of salt every day. 2 gram of salt per day is not huge for it. one drawback of this book is it is very repetitive

Brilliant insight re. salt in our diets
So many great bits of knowledge and practical advice on every single aspect of how to best incorporate salt in our diets.
This book dispels so much bad advice that has been foisted on an unsuspecting public over the past few decades, with such tragic results.
This is a one of a kind book and I would sincerely say of critical importance to people dealing with illnesses and vague lethargy, and athletes seeking superior performance.
Very highly recommended. It's already noticeably improved my life in a few short days.
