SALT has been demonized!

Salt has been one of the most misunderstood ingredients in modern diets. For years, it’s been demonized and labeled as unhealthy. However, salt, especially in its natural, unrefined form, can be beneficial to our bodies. Dr. Bryan Ardis brings attention to the fact that emergency treatments for high blood pressure use high amounts of saline, underscoring that salt isn’t inherently harmful when used appropriately. What’s often overlooked is the quality of salt. Unrefined sea salt contains over 80 minerals that are essential for body function, while processed table salt is stripped of these nutrients and treated with chemicals like bleach. The key is moderation and choosing a better quality salt to reap the benefits. Reevaluating our approach to salt can have a positive impact on our health. Rather than avoiding it altogether, focus on using natural, high-quality salts and being mindful of your overall salt intake.
