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.
