I have spend most of my adult life avoiding salt. I do not have any blood pressure problem, but my parents especially my mom has suffered from hypertension for many years. Neither I was a heavy meat eater, actually i was eating more fruits. Nor was I addicted to refined sugars and sugary drinks. Still my bones are doing poorly at 68 years old. Two years ago I was dx with osteoporosis and pre diabetes. Diabetes runs in my family heavily, so I was always aware and trying to avoid it by doing a moderate diet approach. Low sodium, low fat, you name it. I am no longer pre diabetic by eating a keto and IF, but still osteoporotic. My point is that a life of low sodium and almost no meat has not prevented me from having osteoporosis. I know we are different in the way we function and process foods and our genes can have a good percentage of control in our health also. I am no saying you are not right, but your approach to bone health does not work for everybody..I am exercising and doing the supplementation because I do not want the medications. I know how they work; I am a nurse. I never have had a fracture, and I am doing my best to prevent it.

Are getting sunshine ? What is you magnesium to calcium ratio? Are you drinking milk? Milk leaches calcium from the bones. How is you gut bacteria.? How is your vit.k.? How much raw fruits and vegetables do you eat? Are you taking a calcium supplemen? That can throw magnesium, calcium ratio way out of wack. We need at least double the amount of magnesium as calcium to reverse osteoporosis. We need mulic acid to metabolize magnesium. Taking supplements often throw these balances totally out of wack. Eat a wide Variety of whole plant foods and avoid animal protein. Especially dairy and red meat.

As a nurse I also know we cannot live without salt… low blood levels of sodium chloride are dangerous. We need to remember to not get too much… or too little.

The garbage processed food..when I gave up all sugar, alcohol and processed food, bread etc., and things really changed. Your taste for salt really changes. I still use a speck of pink salt ground on my food ..but I limit it significantly. I was a salt addict before..I know it can be done! 😬 I love this cleaner, easy start to a healthy body. Your sensible advice is a step that is easy to follow. If you eliminate completely all the processed foods.. it is the best thing you can do for your whole body health.. not just bones!

People who are on the carnivore diet are saying, eat as much salt as you want. There's no limit because eating meat will deplete your stores of salt so you can increase it as much as you want.

Bread is also acidic by the way - why wasn't it included in the list of acidic foods (it's much more ubiquitous than sodas for instance).

@@jonapelovska The worst acidic foods are milk , red meat and white sugar. In that order.

Dr Dave Clayton, I’m confused by your reference to “salt” intake. Early in the video you said NaCl metabolism creates an acidic environment. My question for you is whether you mean the sodium in the salt or the chloride in the salt. In chemistry we are taught NaCl is a neutral salt. In the body does the chloride somehow make our digestive system acidic?? Only much later in your video you started mentioning effect of sodium alone and no longer mention the chloride. Is it because you were really targeting the sodium in salt and not the chloride? What if we use potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride? In a link you provided there was a study that mentioned NaCl excretion rate correlated to certain unfavorable results. Correlation does not mean necessarily a causal factor. The study doesn’t mean to imply both sodium AND chloride were the causes. I wish people would be more careful in using the word “salt” if they meant only the sodium.

To be healthy no sos ,no sugar,no salt,no processed vegetable oils,to alkaline blood is by vegetables and limited amount of fruits.Our blood ph is 7.4 on alkaline side on scale of 0-14. Acidic environment inside our body we call it in medicine interior milieu is causing inflammation,cancer,bone loss.The body has pathways to correct ph and keep it at normal ranges as possible.If not we die in alkalosis or acidosis.Acid base balance is very important subject in physiology in post graduate studies in medicine.The food especially natural food has enough salt for our bodies.Our requirement is 1.2 grams I.e 1200 milligrams only.The body work in micronutrients,all sugar in our blood is 3.5-4 grams,the microbiome make short chain fatty acids ,liver make sugar.Our body needs healthy life style variables like our ancestors as it is still working like them and there is a mismatch between environment and our bodies.

Thanks Janie!

I just watched another Dr (literally just prior to your video) tell me that a docs advice to cut down salt in your diet for folks over 40 or 50 is bad advice on preventing osteoporosis….. Research is so vast and science is often left up to interpretation. As well, people are different. Genetics, race, lifestyle, sex…naturopathy, eastern, western….😵‍💫

@@drdaveclayton Every doctor on KZread has his or her own evidence to back what he/she purports to be the real McCoy. There needs to be a meeting of the mind with all doctors on KZread. A summit? Because info. Is very confusing. We are being pulled in every direction possible.

Weidone doc, but I don't think that a little intake of salt can cause so much osteoporosis. Salt has a role to play in our body

Plz how get K2 IN you diet...

I am on low salt diet. 4-5 servings of fruits & vegetables/day. I still have severe osteoporosis. How do you explain this .

Try adding Vitamin K2 rich food or supplement for getting the Calcium into the bone. Also check out Dr Ken Berry for his video on bone loss. Very informative! Hope you get Well soon ❤

What about brushing your teeth with baking soda?? Is that bad??

Hi. Dr.Dave, Very grateful for your concerning about sodium and alkaline diet for those who have osteoporosis. I just have a question. Is really vital to add calcium suplement? In the past I was told to take 1,200 mg per day, due to my osteoporosis condition, but, due to the risk of artery calcification, I stopped taking it. Instead I'm taking Vitamin K2 100 mcg, + magnesium 200mg and vitamin D3 5000IU. Besides my effort to have a healthy diet, including veggies, fruits & proteins (lean meat, chicken,pork,fish). Walking routine of 30 Mts.daily and some strength exercises. Let me tell you that I'm not taking the biphosfomates anymore, the risk for osteonecrosis of the jaw, really scared me. Thanks God I'm ok, eventhough I was under Propia injection for three years. I hope you read my request, to be honest most of the Doctors don't answer. Luckily, some of them just read the comments. Thanks in advance for your kindness. Regards, Dinora,

Dexascan showed I had osteopenia: doctor prescribed Alendronate Sodium (which doesn't allow dead bone to stuff off; hence density increases but at what cost overall? God made skin/bone to sluff for a reason, right?) and recommended Calcium, which I did take that (but not for long). I, too, learned I had 50% Carotid. Upon 2nd Dexascan years later, one hip had become more dense. Doc said, "Keep doing what you're doing." Doing same thing as you, except for uhh....healthy diet and exercise. I'm sure I could completely reverse it if I'd exercise and eat well.

@@Alwizcaliteach I heard that osteopenia is a word that was made up by the pharmaceutical company to increase the profits by starting people on bisphosphonates earlier. The word osteopenia just means pre-osteoporosis. But because they put the osteopenia on their charts, the doctors now start people on those drugs earlier than they need to. Until your scores say -2.0, for the T score, then you do not have osteoporosis.

@@Alwizcaliteach Exactly, besides a healthy diet, fruits, veggies, broccoli is full of calcium. Of course proteins, like lean meat. If you take supplements, add vitamin K2 and vitamin D3, magnesium is so important too. Take care and stay healthy ❤

Animal protein is the #1 calcium robber. Especially milk and red meat. It is far more important to to get lots of magnesium than calcium. About 2/1

Yes, yes, some doctors are talking about salt on Utube!!! Many videos of doctors encouraging to add salt to water being hydrated with daily.

Surely lots of minerals in Himalayan salt. We need protein collagen vit d potassium calcium

Definitely lots of minerals in Himalayan salt, but also lots of sodium. Thanks for watching!

Frustrating as hell. The ketogenic gurus would TOTALLY disagree with this.

Thank you so much, this info is exactly what I was looking for. My doc never discussed food just meds which I will not take.
