Current Events > Zero sodium diet.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Also known as a Darwin Award diet.

If you manage to consume literally no salt in your diet(or so little that it is essentially nothing) you are going to end up dead if you keep up that diet for long.

If you ever hear or see someone considering a zero sodium diet please let them know how goddamn fucking stupid they are.

I think I'll edge them on instead and tell them potassium is a good replacement for sodium

Could be someone wanting stronger bones. Sodium depletes calcium out of them.

Agree, but people do need to at least be cognizant of their sodium intake (which I myself may not be lols).

So basically scientists proved the too much salt isn't actually that bad for you years ago and too little salt causes way too many issues and people still don't believe them?

Breakfast: Distilled water

Lunch: Distilled water

Dinner: Distilled water

How do you consume no salt that seems almost impossible.

Stronger bones don't matter when your dead.

Just have a strong calcium intake and don't over consume salt.

it's more complicated than that. Some people have bad blood pressure issues and have to minimize their salt intake in order to not have strokes. Other people found out they were doing and without understanding why, came to the conclusion that Sodium is bad.

Kind of like how someone once said "I need gluten-free" because they'd literally die if they ate gluten and now all kinds of people who otherwise have no problem with gluten are demanding gluten free shit. They don't understand the root cause for certain dietary restrictions.

Not really. People thought reducing salt would reduce bad blood pressure issues cause one single scientist did one study on rats, which was then proven baseless a few years ago when other scientists did the same study and similar studies changing the control and showed salt doesn't do much for blood pressure. And other studies have shown having too little salt causes many issues.

Very carefully.

I mean obviously you can have too much salt. You can have too much anything. Water poisoning is a thing.

But yeah a salty diet is not of major concern unless you go to extremes.
