The topic is sodium intake with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, and i have a personal experience with this, so this is kind of a so.
I’m happy to share this with you. I’m kind of interested to share this with you. So there was there’s, a study that came out a couple years ago and um. They they had 49 healthy people who they put on a low salt diet.
Then they put them on a high salt diet, and then they followed that by a high salt diet with potassium supplementation. So here’s. The deal 100 years ago, who knows maybe 60 years ago or or more, are potassium and and and and and sodium all right, salt.
They balance each other and they and they work to balance each of your electrolytes and they’re like hugely important to your physiology. You have too much salt. Maybe your blood pressure goes up. Maybe you get bloated there’s.
A lot of bad things about too much salt okay, so they did a study and they found, and then they measured blood chemistry relative to um white blood cells, and they found that this one white blood cell called il17a.
It just means that this is a blood cell. It’s, a white blood cell that goes up when a person gets inflammation. Okay, it’s. An inflammatory white blood cell would go up significantly in the blood after you have high salt.
Now let me go back, i skipped over myself. So, like 60 to 100 years ago, the ratio was sodium, uh was like potassium eight, sodium one uh and – and this was probably before processed foods and restaurants got popular and all that type of stuff, because now the ratio is 18 sodium to one potassium.
Did you get that okay, normal potassium, before processed foods, all restaurants, salt, all that type of stuff and everything potassium? Eight sodium one: proper ratio um? Now it’s. Salt 18, potassium one! So that’s, bad! It’s, particularly bad for Hashimoto’s.
Patients. What we found was that um, when they expose these folks to potassium so people who so the people who took salt, they had a they ended up. Taking a high salt meal and their sodium went up even more when they were exposed to seven days of supplementation.
