showed me righ in the middle of the range! Proof that sea salt does not

cause high sodiium levels at least for me. Mo did you ever get

Aldosterone checked?

Nah Val, the GP said it was not necessary as the other kidney function tests

he did would show, he said, if there was a problem in this department.

I was eating salt-free for 20 years when this high sodium test came in, I

had only been supplementing Celtic seasalt a very short while and stopped it

several days before the tests.

>>I was eating salt-free for 20 years when this high sodium test came in,<<

And this is likely part fo the problem. I bet your body is hoarding salt due to

the " salt shortage " it perceives. This was why I was retaining fluid and my BP

went up, a no salt diet that almost killed me. And I was onyl on it for four

years. The unrelenting high BP was the worst sign something was very wrong. When

my doctors of the moment took me off all salt is when it went from high blood

pressure to a stroke looking for a place to happen.

Morning Val

Well I say a no-salt diet. What I should be saying is that I stopped salting

my food at the table.

I decided to go vegetarian at the same time and was eating way too much

cheese and not enough good protein for many years.

I thought I was eating healthily! Hah! You live and learn eh Val?

When I spoke to the GP about this over the range sodium, he said it was

nothing to worry about, was not indciate of any problem, went on about bell

curves etc and how it was probably 'normal' for me.

Well, it was enough to make a cat sit up and laugh and I had to try very

hard not to laugh into his face.

Pity they don't take the same approach with other test results I thought!

Thanks for that Linn. Very interesting.

So do you think that even with over the range sodium levels that I should be

doing more than sprinkling Celtic seasalt on my food at table and in the

cooking?

I am wondering if it could possibly do me any harm. Not the seasalt but if

it drives my sodium levels up further.

I suppose that thought has been a strumbling block for me in taking more

than I already am, though I am sprinkling with gusto it must be said and

enjoying it very much indeed. Yum!

Hi

Good point.

I have been a bit remiss in this department since the weather has become so

cold here in England but, when the testing was done, was in the summer and I

was drinking my quota of 2 litres, maybe more, a day.

It is important isn't it to ensure there is good hydration at all

times?

I am not a fan of herb teas. I wish I was. Need to get back into the hot

water drinks. I found them not so bad as they sound but let the habit slip.

Oh if only I had a magic wand, a good memory and/or more commitment to

developing good and regular habits with regards to what I put in my gob! lol

Mo,

Here's some info on how important the right kind of salt is for your

body.

Natural sea salt [reconstituted seawater] allows liquids to freely

cross body membranes, the kidney’s glomerulus's and blood vessels

walls. Whenever the sodium chloride concentration rises in the blood,

the water in the neighboring tissues is attracted to that salt-rich

blood, and the cells then re-absorb the enriched intra-cellular

fluid. If they are functioning properly, the kidneys remove the

saline fluids easily. Refined salt does not allow this free-crossing

of liquids and minerals, and causes accumulated fluids to stagnate in

joint, producing edema and chronic kidney problems.

Vital Functions of Salt in the Body

1. Salt is most effective in stabilizing irregular heartbeats and,

Contrary to the misconception that it causes high blood pressure, it

is actually essential for the regulation of blood pressure - in

conjunction with water. Naturally the proportions are critical.

2. Salt is vital to the extraction of excess acidity from the cells

in the body, particularly the brain cells.

3. Salt is vital for balancing the sugar levels in the blood; a

needed element in diabetics.

4. Salt is vital for the generation of hydroelectric energy in cells

in the body. It is used for local power generation at the sites of

energy need by the cells.

5. Salt is vital to the nerve cells' communication and information

processing all the time that the brain cells work, from the moment of

conception to death.

6. Salt is vital for absorption of food particles through the

intestinal tract.

7. Salt is vital for the clearance of the lungs of mucus plugs and

sticky phlegm, particularly in asthma and cystic fibrosis.

8. Salt is vital for clearing up catarrh and congestion of the sinuses.

9. Salt is a strong natural antihistamine.

10. Salt is essential for the prevention of muscle cramps.

11. Salt is vital to prevent excess saliva production to the point

that it flows out of the mouth during sleep. Needing to constantly

mop up excess saliva indicates salt shortage.

12. Salt is absolutely vital to making the structure of bones firm.

Osteoporosis, in a major way, is a result of salt and water shortage

in the body.

13. Salt is vital for sleep regulation. It is a natural hypnotic.

14. Salt is a vitally needed element in the treatment of diabetics.

15. Salt on the tongue will stop persistent dry coughs.

16. Salt is vital for the prevention of gout and gouty arthritis.

17. Salt is vital for maintaining sexuality and libido.

18. Salt is vital for preventing varicose veins and spider veins on

the legs and thighs.

19. Salt is vital to the communication and information processing

nerve cells the entire time that the brain cells work - from the

moment of conception to death.

20. Salt is vital for reducing a double chin. When the body is short

of salt, it means the body really is short of water. The salivary

glands sense the salt shortage and are obliged to produce more saliva

to lubricate the act of chewing and swallowing and also to supply the

stomach with water that it needs for breaking down foods. Circulation

to the salivary glands increases and the blood vessels become " leaky "

in order to supply the glands with water to manufacture saliva. The

" leakiness " spills beyond the area of the glands themselves, causing

increased bulk under the skin of the chin, the cheeks and into the neck.

21. Sea salt contains about 80 mineral elements that the body needs.

Some of these elements are needed in trace amounts. Unrefined sea

salt is a better choice of salt than other types of salt on the

market. Ordinary table salt that is bought in the super markets has

been stripped of its companion elements and contains additive

elements such as aluminum silicate to keep it powdery and porous.

Aluminum is a very toxic element in our nervous system. It is

implicated as one of the primary causes of Alzheimer's disease.

22. Twenty-seven percent of the body's salt is in the bones.

Osteoporosis results when the body needs more salt and takes it from

the body. Bones are twenty-two percent water. Is it not obvious what

happens to the bones when we're deficient in salt or water or both.

* The information on salt intake is taken from Dr. Batmanghelidj's

book, " Water: Rx for a Healthier Pain-Free Life " .

A question you may want to ask yourself is with your whole/unrefined salt usage

and showing high levels of sodium in your bloodwork, how much non-caffienated

fluids are you drinking EVERY DAY?

Here's some info on how important the right kind of salt is for your

Thanks for that Linn. Very interesting.

So do you think that even with over the range sodium levels that I should be

doing more than sprinkling Celtic seasalt on my food at table and in the

cooking?

I am wondering if it could possibly do me any harm. Not the seasalt but if

it drives my sodium levels up further.

I suppose that thought has been a strumbling block for me in taking more

than I already am, though I am sprinkling with gusto it must be said and

enjoying it very much indeed. Yum!
