Re: More information / sodium and pulse

August 18, 2010

Hi Kris: I saw Lethal Lee answered that your sodium was too low - this may be

part of the reason your pulse gets too high. I take Celtic Sea Salt, here's a

link:

P763C8.aspx

My own pulse went too high from low sodium. It decreased when I supplemented

salt adequately.

The usual recommendation is 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons a day. Val puts a pinch of

salt in all the water she drinks during the day. On travel days, I've found it

handy to dissolve the whole amount in a bottle of plain seltzer, carry that

bottle with me, and drink it over the course of the day.

Your mention of shaking concerned me, I'm sorry I can't be of help with that

one, you may wish to re-post on that subject.
