Salt has been amongst Earth’s most abundant and essential minerals since the dawn of time. In our modern age, #salt helps to drive our economy, from food manufacturing and pharmaceuticals to road gritting, water softening and seasoning. #salt

Do you crave salty food and/or salt your food before even tasting it? These are classic signs of salt deficiency and a possible need for other electrolytes. “Sole” water (pronounced solay) is a great way to hydrate in the morning rb.gy/uyw1gx

Contrary to all the salt restriction advice we’ve been given, “most of the world’s population consume a moderate range of dietary sodium,1-2 teaspoons of salt a day), that is not associated with increased cardiovascular risk”. @andrewmente @SaltSenseUK heraldscotland.com/news/1884…

Revive yourself in the morning with salt and water. Salt can awaken you, salt can revive you, salt can fix dehydration. Drop the juice in the morning! Salt and water is all you need.

The body can make glucose but it can’t make sodium.  Your body needs salt, not sugar.  Stay salty.

Salt intake is very important especially during the summer. We can quickly become depleted in salt and water in the heat. The average salt loss in sweat/hr of exercise in the heat ranges from 1/2-1 tsp of salt but soccer players have been found to lose up to 2 1/2 tsp of salt/hr.

Your body drives you to eat several grams of salt per day because that is OPTIMAL. You could live the rest of your life, and probably a much longer one, if you never ingested another gram of added sugar. However, you wouldn’t live very long without salt. STAY SALTY.

There was never any sound scientific evidence to support the low-salt guidelines. Blaming salt for our health issues gave sugar a free pass. For the past 50 years we’ve blamed the wrong white crystal. Not salt, but sugar, causes chronic disease.
