i want to talk about the difference between himalayan sea salt and just regular sea salt is
there a difference there is it's a big difference the great majority of both of these have sodium
chloride they both have trace minerals but sea salt has microplastics or nano amounts of plastic
in one study it showed that 90 percent of all the brands that were tested had microplastics
however in himalayan sea salt zero plastics why because of the deposits that make up
the himalayan salt comes from an ancient sea before humans before the pollution
now the problem with microplastics is that it gets into our system it creates inflammation
it creates a lot of problems because it can act as an endocrine
disruptor and it does take a little bit of time to degrade and break down about 500 years so
what you need to do is limit your exposure to it so i do not recommend consuming sea salt unless
it's celtic sea salt or it could be pronounced celtic this is okay this is from france
it's cleaner there's probably some others that are fine too but regular sea salt comes from
the ocean which is polluted and chances are it will have microplastics so you want to avoid that
now that then brings up the question about table salt what about that
the majority of the population is just consuming table salt they have no idea
that that too has microplastics no trace minerals just sodium chloride it's bleached
some of the time they even add sugar to it some of the time and sometimes they add anti-caking agent
aluminum which is toxic to your brain so what i'm trying to do is increase your awareness and focus
in on a healthy salt because we need salt we needed to make hydrochloric acid in our stomach
to actually kill off microbes help us digest protein and assimilate minerals adrenals need
a certain amount of salt our immune system needs a certain amount of salt if we're low on salt the
risk of getting insulin resistance goes up salt helps with hydration also it's involved in the
sodium potassium pump which is needed to power your muscles and your nerves and give us energy
now how much salt do we need we need between one and two teaspoons depending on your activity level
how much you're sweating but when you do keto you want to do at least one teaspoon if not a little
bit more each day because of all the water weight that you're losing and with the water weight loss
comes a loss of electrolytes as well now a couple things that you can do in addition to
avoiding exposure to microplastics because it's in the water from the plastic bottles that you're
using and also the canned water it's in a lot of different things especially if you're using
microwaves with plastics and even styrofoam cups if you have good friendly bacteria there's been
some studies that show that certain microbes in your microbiome can help break down some of
these plastics number two consuming cruciferous food on a regular basis helps to dismantle and
eliminate endocrine disruptors in general and also consuming enough omega-3 has a tendency to
keep your inflammation down because one of the problems with microplastics is inflammation and
so if you counter that with taking things that keep your inflammation low you can minimize the
damage to some degree but definitely don't consume just regular sea salt go with the himalayan salt
or go with some other salts like celtic salts that don't have micro plastics
before you go if you have a question about a product or you're new to keto and you want to
know how to begin keto or you're on keto and you need a debug because it's not going as smooth
i have a keto consultant standing by to help you this is just for the
people in the u.s hopefully in the future we'll be able to answer everyone's call
but i put the number down below so you can call and get some help
