You hear it all the time now: health influencers and health professionals are urging people to add salt to their glasses of water every day. The theory is that it helps keep sodium levels stable for many health purposes. This theory is not just unfounded, it’s reckless and doesn’t help individuals with their health as much as everyone is being told. There is a reason why society today is addicted to salt; there is a reason why people stranded at sea cannot survive on salt water; there is a reason why we cannot swallow a salt water gargle without potentially vomiting it up and there is a reason why the theory of adding a pinch of salt to your glass of water every day is a terrible biohack. In this episode, be ready to hear what you may not want to hear—it’s all about salt and saving your health.
