A doctor who graduated from Harvard University has gone viral after revealing how eating too little salt could be more dangerous than eating too much.

Dr Saurabh Sethi, a gastroenterologist, shares his experience and knowledge with his 486,000 followers on TikTok (@doctorsethimd ).

He recently explained how cutting out just one ingredient for two weeks could “reset” the body; sugar.

Now, the 42-year-old has revealed what would happen if salt was removed from our diets for the same length of time.

And he warns it could be “extremely harmful”, reports What’s The Jam.

In the clip, which has racked up over 16,000 views and hundreds of likes, he explains that salt is a crucial electrolyte that helps our bodies retain water.

“Without it, you would likely experience severe dehydration [and] your blood volume will decrease significantly, leading to a drop in blood pressure,” the doctor, from California, US, says.

Dr Sethi further continues that the craving for salty foods will become “very intense”.

And there are other dangers.

He says: “Your muscles will become very weak, you could also feel dizzy, lightheaded and even faint.

“On top of that, inadequate salt consumption can disrupt gut health by impairing digestion and weaken liver health by reducing essential nutrient absorption.”

Dr Sethi ends the video with a final warning.

He added: “While many people worry about consuming too much salt, not getting enough can be far more dangerous.

“For most people, it is important to consume about one teaspoon of sea salt each day.”
