Guest guest Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 low zinc levels reduces appetite, B complex, vit C, and magnesium are low in the stressed. The stressed out kidney wastes sodium and salt cravings can be normal - just drink water too. I think the new salt guidelines are so restrictive. The kidneys will waste sodium in many conditions including adrenal fatigue. Anyone who works out and sweats much needs to replace the losses with increased electrolytes and water. 1500 mg sodium is the lowest, 1-5th% intake of average American's intake. These nutrient guidelines were set by volunteer members of the Institute of Medicine - noble -yes - but I didn't see a dietitian among their new members for the last two years. Our Dietary Guidelines shouldn't be about marketing or supplements. We need to be careful with math - numbers can be life and death in the body and dietitians know that.
