Let's talk about the seven signs that you may be consuming too much salt. It's very rare to have

someone consumed too much salt. In reality, the person is really just potassium deficient,

so I will explain, but let's just go through these symptoms real quick. The first one is a

deem up in your eyes, in your hands, or your feet, or lower legs, because sodium is retaining water,

and you're becoming water-locked. Another sign would be your thirsty, okay? Why are you thirsty?

Because your body is telling you you need to drink more water to dilute the excess sodium.

Another one is high blood pressure, because you're retaining salt in water, and that increases

more volume in your blood. And you only have so much space, so if we increase the volume,

the pressure is going to increase. Then we get headache, probably because of the pressure

from the volume of blood in your brain. Then you have restlessness or irritability,

and then the last two are nausea and fatigue. Now, it's just important to also now review

a sodium deficiency, those symptoms, just so you can compare, because you're going to find out

there are more problems with the deficiency than there are with the excess. Let me explain.

Number one, if you're deficient in sodium, you're going to feel weak, especially if you try to

exercise or climb a hill. Number two, you might have low blood pressure. Why? Because there's

just not enough volume of blood, because you don't have the sodium to retain the fluid.

And number three, if you have an increase in various neurotransmitters, like adrenaline,

that's the stress hormone, as well as other hormones, which then can lead to vascular stiffness,

which will then increase the blood pressure. But there's another thing that can worsen blood pressure.

Low sodium can lead to higher levels of insulin and insulin resistance. This is the unintended

consequences of going on a low salt diet. So here you are trying to fix your high blood pressure

by lowering your sodium, and then you end up with more insulin and more insulin resistance,
