THE GOLD FROM THIS EPISODE

“Your salt is not a supplement. It must contain calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and other trace minerals to act as a delivery system so the sodium and chloride work properly in your body. Himalayan salt has a sodium chloride level of over 90%. We prefer it in the 80’s, like the grey Celtic Sea Salt, which contains 82% sodium chloride and delivers more of the other minerals.”
