This is why eating a high-salt diet is one of the best things you can do for your health, and you've been lied to all this time. Low-salt diets are often recommended to avoid certain chronic diseases and protect health, but salt restriction, particularly of unprocessed natural salt, is one of the worst things you can do for your health. A study of 181 countries found that increased salt intake up to 5 grams a day led to the longest lifespan. If you don't consume enough salt, you're not getting enough minerals, and it can lead to elevated cortisol levels in your blood. Cortisol is a stress hormone, and when chronically elevated, it can cause severe health issues like muscle breakdown, inflammation, and impaired immune function. However, it's important to use the right type of salt. Avoid processed salts like table salt and kosher salt. Even Himalayan salt, which is often considered healthy, contains high levels of heavy metals in many store-bought versions.
