SALT
Salt is not seasoning. It’s not the enemy. And it’s not optional.
This isn’t about nutrition. It’s about electricity, memory, and natural order.
WHAT YOU’VE BEEN TOLD:
Salt raises blood pressure
Sodium is dangerous
Salt is just a flavor enhancer
WHAT YOU WEREN’T TOLD:
Refined salt is stripped, bleached, chemically altered — it’s the problem
Natural salt (Himalayan, sea salt, Celtic grey) is mineral-rich and essential for human bioelectric balance
Every nerve signal, heartbeat, and cellular transport system in your body relies on sodium
Without real salt:
Your adrenal system crashes
You retain water inefficiently
Your brain fogs
Your energy declines
In natural biology:
Salt regulates membrane potential
It stabilizes hydration at the cellular level, not just in the bloodstream
It works in tandem with potassium, magnesium, and water to create energy
THE REAL PROBLEM:
Refined salt is an industrial product
Table salt is chemically sterilized and often laced with flow agents like aluminum
The anti-salt campaign began in the 1970s with flawed studies used to justify pharmaceutical intervention
Meanwhile:
Indigenous cultures thrived with high natural salt intake
Hunters, warriors, and farmers used salt to replenish after exertion
It was used in temples, trade, and medicine for over 5,000 years
SALT IN PRACTICE TODAY:
Add a pinch of mineral salt to your water each morning to assist hydration
Use it during fasting to stabilize energy and reduce lightheadedness
Let it replace electrolyte packs filled with chemicals and sugars
Cook with it. Sweat with it. Honor it.
WHY IT WAS DEFAMED: Because real salt can:
Reduce headaches
Support adrenal recovery
Improve energy and cognition
Restore balance without a pill
And most importantly:
It can’t be patented, monetized, or industrialized at scale without stripping its benefit
SUMMARY: Refined salt is synthetic. Natural salt is sacred. The body runs on minerals, and salt is the delivery system.
This isn’t trend. It’s truth. Let real salt return. Let the body remember how to live.
