The Salt Fix: Why Experts Got It All Wrong - and How Eating More Might Save Your Life Free Audiobook Download by Dr. James J. DiNicolantonio

Eating more salt has been shown to be good for your health in a lot of different ways. The recent guidelines from the American Heart Association and the World Health Organisation advised reducing the amount of salt that you consume. However, Dr. James J. DiNicolantonio explains why this was wrong, and how eating more salt is actually beneficial for long-term health.

More than 60% of Americans are currently on a high-sodium diet, and that's one way to get dangerously high levels of sodium in your body. Dr. James J. DiNicolantonio, a cardiologist at Saint Luke's Heart Institute, wrote The Salt Fix: Why Experts Got It All Wrong - and How Eating More Might Save Your Life to prove that salt is not the most dangerous thing we eat, but rather the food industry is to blame for some of the health problems that are caused by our love affair with salt.

Dr. James J. DiNicolantonio's book, The Salt Fix: Why Experts Got It All Wrong - and How Eating More Might Save Your Life, is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn more about the dangers of too much sodium in our diet and how to find a healthy balance. He starts by giving an overview of the problem with the Western diet today and then goes on to explain what the body does when it's salt-deprived. Dr. DiNicolantonio takes us through all the different factors that have been believed to increase heart disease risk but really have nothing to do with it at all, including sugar, cholesterol, saturated fat, pesticide residues, food additives, oxalate in spinach and coffee

Dr. James J. DiNicolantonio, a cardiologist and professor at Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute, has challenged decades of dietary advice with this book. DiNicolantonio argues that too much salt has been demonized and that in fact a low-salt diet can do more harm than good because it often results in people eating fewer vegetables, fruits, and whole grains and more processed food filled with fat and sugar.

Dr. James J. DiNicolantonio’s new book is the first in depth look by a scientist at the science of salt and how experts got it wrong. This international bestseller examines why Americans get heart disease and other chronic illnesses despite guidelines to eat only moderate amounts of salt. Dr. DiNicolantonio also discusses how eating more salt could lower your risk of these diseases, but you have to start adopting his new habits to see the benefits.

A recent study found that people who consume one-and-a-half teaspoons of salt a day have an 87% lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease. This has lead many experts to recommend limiting your sodium intake to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular diseases. Dr. James DiNicolantonio talks about why this new study gets it all wrong, how low sodium intake might be killing us, and how we should actually be eating more salt.
