SHOWNOTES
Salt straight from the salt flats or mines is a combo of approx. 84 minerals. Real salt taken from the salt flats for instance is a kind of nearly wet oily feel.
For men and women 14 years of age and older and pregnant women, the AI is 1,500 milligrams a day. That’s 1.5 grams that’s a ¼ of a teaspoon.
What’s the difference – Sea Salt, Pink salt and Celtic Salt
Celtic Sea Salt is authentic, unprocessed, whole salt from the pristine coastal regions in France. It is hand-harvested, to ensure it retains its natural state, and contains nothing artificial.
Fine Celtic Salt is partially dried at a low temperature before it is ground. Rich in sodium, magnesium, iron, manganese, zinc etc
Pink salt from the Himalayas or like the Murray River in Australia
magnesium, calcium, potassium and iodine
Pretty white table salt is primarily sodium and potassium
Naturopaths want you to eat and live as close to nature as possible.
Healthy Life Hacks
The Healthy Life Hacks I want to share with you today are:

Can you take magnesium when taking prednisone(50 now tapering down). I was told not to because it is salt-based but legs and toe cramps are awful again. Suggestions?
I’m sorry you will have to ask your Dr who prescribed that. We can’t comment on meds.
