Berg talks about Salt Deficiency on Keto. When a person is burning sugar and running on the sugar fuel, that is called glycolysis and then shift over to ketones burning fat. They will eventually drop a lot of electrolytes and the need for salt will go up. He also talks about the recommended salt intake when on ketosis.

Salt Deficiency Symptoms:

• Low Blood Pressure • Leg Cramps (Especially in the lower part of the leg, the calf are and the foot) • Dizzy when standing up • Weakness • Fatigue

Two Types of Salt:

• Himalayan Pink Salt (From the mountain top in Pakistan. It is pink because it has a little bit of iron)

• Celtic Sea Salt (It has clay and is from a certain ocean)

0:33.6	Dr. Eric Berg.
0:35.6	Hey guys, I wanted to do a quick little video on salt deficiencies on keto.
0:41.3	Okay, so normally when a person is burning sugar, they're running on sugar fuel that's called
0:46.3	glycolysis, and then they shift over to ketones, burning fat, what's going to happen?
0:53.3	They're going to dump a lot of electrolytes.

1:53.9	And that's gray because it has some clay in it. It's from a certain ocean. And it's very healthy,
