Salt is a SUPER-important topic for anyone who’s fasting, or eating low-carb. Salt is also very important for overall health. That's why today I'm sharing a detailed summary of the book, The Salt Fix (by Dr. James DiNicolantonio).  Timestamps are below.

This summary will help you understand why much of what you've heard about salt may be wrong, where the salt restriction guidelines came from, why it's better and healthier to eat all the salt you crave (at least for most people), and some specific ideas about how to put this info in practice.
