🌊 SALT ISN’T THE ENEMY — IT’S ESSENTIAL! 🧂💧

Let’s talk real wellness for a sec. You’ve probably heard that salt raises blood pressure and should be avoided — but that’s only half the story. The truth is… your body LOVES salt — the right kind of salt. Here’s why ⬇️

🚨 In hospitals, when you’re dehydrated, what do they give you?
💉 A bag of saline — water + salt
💧 That IV bag contains about 9,000 mg of sodium because your body requires salt to rehydrate and function! They will also give this to people with dangerously high blood pressure to actually lower your blood pressure a lot of times too!

🔥 Hydration isn’t just water — without salt (electrolytes), water can’t actually get into your cells efficiently. That’s why chugging plain water sometimes makes you feel worse. Ever get more tired or p*e it all out? Yup — you need sodium.

🧠 Your nerves? They run on electrical signals — salt (sodium) helps carry those messages so your brain and body can talk to each other ⚡️

💪 Adrenals + salt = BFFs. When you're stressed, your adrenal glands (which regulate hormones like cortisol + aldosterone) crave salt. Salt helps your body manage energy, blood pressure, and stress responses.

😵‍💫 Ever stand up too fast and get dizzy or lightheaded? That’s likely low blood pressure or poor sodium status. A pinch of good-quality salt in your water might just be what your body’s asking for 🧂✨

👅 Craving salt? Your body might be whispering: “Help me regulate minerals, hydration, and stress!”

🧂 Not all salt is created equal:
🌊 Celtic Sea Salt, Himalayan, & Redmond Real Salt = rich in trace minerals
🏭 Iodized table salt = ultra-processed, stripped, often bleached ❌
Choose mineral-rich salts from the earth, not the factory 💫

Salt supports:
✔️ Kidney function
✔️ Blood volume + pressure regulation
✔️ Electrolyte balance
✔️ Adrenal support
✔️ Nerve function
✔️ Muscle contraction (no more cramps!)
✔️ Overall vitality

🌿 Your ancestors likely consumed way more natural salt than we do today — and they didn’t suffer from modern mineral imbalances.

So next time someone tells you to avoid salt, ask them: “Which kind of salt?” 🤔💡

👉 Functional tip: Start your day with 8–12 oz of water + a pinch of Celtic sea salt + a squeeze of lemon 🍋 to nourish your cells and kickstart energy 🚀
