It's your muscle building coach Lee Hayward here and I'm sure the title of my e-mail today is going to strike a nerve with some people...

But the truth of the matter is that salt is NOT the "Bad Guy" that the mainstream media has made it out to be.

Click Here to learn how eating salt can actually improve your health and fitness.

In fact, no other mineral is more essential to human survival than sodium because it allows nerves to send and receive electrical impulses, it allows your cells and brain to function, and it allows your muscles to contract.

Bottom Line, without enough salt in your body you could not live...
It's that important!

The average person eats about 3,400 mg of sodium per day. This is according to The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Now you've probably heard through the mainstream media that this is "Too Much" and that you should reduce your salt intake. But these recommendations are based on outdated sodium research that was performed on rats back in the 1970's.

According to new studies the opposite maybe true and the national average salt intake may actually be on the "low side" of the healthy sodium intake range.

A 2014 study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, tested sodium consumption in more than 100,000 people in 18 countries. The study found that the healthy range for sodium consumption was between 3,000 and 6,000 mg per day.

The shocking part of this study was that they found eating less than 3,000 mg per day was significantly more harmful to your health than consuming over 6,000 mg per day!

NOTE:
Consuming too little sodium is actually MORE harmful than too much!
