Summary
A leading cardiovascular research scientist upends the low-salt myth, proving that salt may be one solution to - rather than a cause of - the chronic disease crisis.
We've all heard the recommendation: no more than a teaspoon of salt a day for a healthy heart. But there's one big problem with this: the majority of us don't need to watch our salt. For most, salt protects against a host of aliments, including internal starvation, insulin resistance, diabetes and heart disease - not to mention, it tastes great. Dr DiNicolantonio reveals the eye-opening story, a never-been-told, century-spanning drama of competing egos and interests, of how salt became unfairly demonised. (The real culprit? Another white crystal - sugar.)
Sure to change the conversation about this historically treasured substance, The Salt Fix elegantly weaves research into a fascinating new understanding of salt's essential role in your health and what happens when you aren't getting enough.
Dr DiNicolantonio shows how eating the right amount of this essential mineral will help you beat sugar cravings, achieve weight loss, improve athletic performance, increase fertility and thrive with a healthy heart. Finally, he offers a transformative six-step programme for recalibrating your innate salt thermostat so that you can simply listen to your cravings to achieve your ideal salt intake.
Critic reviews
"Dr DiNicolantonio takes us away from hype and hyperbole to a place of rationality as it relates to salt. This extensively researched text lets us finally erase the guilt all of us felt when catering to our desire for this important mineral." (David Perlmutter, MD, best-selling author of Grain Brain and The Grain Brain Whole Life Plan)

Super take on the Salt theory.
I always thought there was more to the story of salt. Great explanation and an easy listen.

vital information for health
It is important to keep an open mind as to how our bodies actually work. You may agree or disagree with the information in this book, and that's just fine. The important thing is you listen and give it thought. I am persuaded by it's content and have actively implemented it into my life.

Data heavy for me
This book was recommended to me and I was looking forward to it but I think this is more for medical "geeks" not for everyday humans. It has sooooo many references to names- researches, grams of and table spoon of measures i got a head ache after a while and completely lost in what is the story line.
I had health problems and I definitely lacked salt before in my life and when I started to take/ use salt my health did improved.
But as far as I know not all salt are even. Celtic sea salt - Himalayan salt are above equal. But no mention of this. Which makes me question some of the disproved researches which is all about the basic table salt which could be more harmful than the "real salts". Nothing about this in the book. sorry last 2 hours never made it.
The readers voice is pleasant though - would be happy to listen him reading other books.
