Dr. Berg talks about why people crave salt after eating a salad or vegetables. Vegetables are high in potassium and low in sodium. The ratio of potassium to sodium is 4.7 to 1. 4.7 potassium to 1 sodium. This means you need 4700 mg of potassium to 1000 mg of sodium. Always add sea salt and this usually comes out to 1 tsp IF you are doing a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting. On the other hand, if you are doing higher amounts of carbs, you do not need so much sodium since glucose retains salt. Consume sea salt with your diet, add it to your salad, eat olives, cheese, and salted nuts to get your correct balance. If you are on a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting, the need for sea salt goes up since running your body on fat requires less water. Higher carb diets require much more water and less salt, since with water comes the retention of sodium.
