today we’re going to talk about Himalayan sea salt uh Celtic or you might pronounce it Celtic Sea salt and other types of sea salt uh is there a big difference let’s just jump right in when we get into the Himalayan sea salt um we’re dealing with a a salt that has been extracted from a part of the planet where there is zero microplastics this salt was extracted very close to the Himalayan mountains but not actually in the mountains there’s other mines in Pakistan that provide this Himalayan sea salt which is is a very pure uh wonderful sea salt with a lot of trace minerals and a little more of certain trace minerals that give it the pinkish color now Celtic Sea salt or Celtic Sea salt is different it’s mined from the ocean but in a very traditional way in a certain part of France they sundry and they keep this standard harvesting of this salt very very traditional and so Celtic salt is wonderful for flavoring uh different foods and it too has a lot of different trace minerals as well as is sodium chloride and there’s virtually no microplastics in Celtic or Celtic salt either then you have a Redman real sea salt another type of sea salt that’s very pure without the microplastics which they extract from Utah deep below a certain level of limestone and this layer of dious Earth so it’s really protected from any type of pollution and so all these salts really have come from ancient Seas except for the Celtic or Celtic sea salt which comes from an ocean but the way that they harvest the salt uh makes it extremely uh free of uh pollution now when you consume regular salt or especially sodium chloride which is just two minerals right sea salt has like between 60 and 94 minerals you’re going to get things that you don’t even know you don’t know where it comes from necessarily it can come from an ocean that’s very polluted and one study showed that 90% of all salt uh contain contains microplastics okay these Plastics take a bit of time to break down roughly 500 years so unfortunately they are polluting our environment and they can act like an endocrine disruptor uh to our bodies just like pesticides insecticides herbicides fungicides heavy metals microplastics can also affect our endocrine system so I highly recommend you do Himalayan sea salt or Celtic Sea salt or redond real sea salt or even Baja gold sea salt which is kind of a mixture of fresh water and ocean water it’s much lower in sodium chloride and much higher in these other minerals where these other sea salts I just mentioned pretty much have like 90 to 95% or more sodium chloride uh the the Baja gold has like 70% sodium chloride and I’m not saying which one is better or worse there’s just different mixtures of these minerals and trace minerals if you want to get more trace minerals go with the Baja gold if you want to get more sodium chloride with the trace minerals get some of these other ones but just because something has more sodium chloride doesn’t make it uh less healthy at all you know we depend on sodium and chloride and when we become deficient in sodium as well as chloride boy we have all sorts of issues one of the biggest signs that you’re deficient in sodium is overall muscle muscle weakness let’s say you want to exercise and you just kind of you lost that get up and go and what if you do exercise and you don’t have enough sodium you’re going to lose that endurance you’re going to feel tired and also realize that you can lose one half of a teaspoon of salt with one hour of exercise also you can lose a good amount of salt when you drink coffee like if you were to drink four cups of coffee you can lose up to uh four teaspoons of salt I mean that’s crazy and so we need sodium desperately and I think uh people that are against salt really are not looking at the big picture because even if someone has salt sensitivity what that really is is either a potassium deficiency because sodium and potassium work together or it’s insulin resistance when you get someone on keto and you get them off the carbs they don’t seem to be salt sensitive anymore and we need this ratio of a little bit more than double the potassium to sodium so as long as you’re doing enough potassium uh you can tolerate a good amount of sodium another very interesting fact about sodium is this when you are deficient in sodium it taxes your adrenals in other words your sympathetic nervous system goes higher that’s the fight ORF flight and the parasympathetic nervous system goes down and this would explain why if someone is deficient in sodium they uh will have more adrenal stress they might feel more anxiety they will definitely not sleep as well in fact if you have a sleeping problem especially due to stress just try this one thing consume a little bit of sea salt before you go to bed now you can put a little salt underneath your tongue or in your mouth or dissolve some in some water just a little bit okay drink it down and go to sleep and see how much better your quality of sleep is so without enough salt our adrenal glands work harder sodium chloride as well as the other electrolytes in that sea salt will really help hydrate you versus just drinking water which is not too hydrating in order to take that water and push in the cells you need electrolytes especially sodium and pottassium also if you’re low in salt your risk for insulin resistance goes up and so this is a really important point if you’re on the ketogenic diet okay low carb if you’re doing in a minute fasting if you’re doing prolonged fasting boy you better take enough sea salt or you’re not going to feel right you might end up with low blood pressure you might end up with dehydration and overall weakness and so it’s not just about taking an electrolyte powder with potassium also make sure you take enough salt I would uh recommend at least one level teaspoon per day for an average person and that’s without exercise the sodium chloride in the sea salt also helps with your immune system but the other minerals also help too I mean you have selenium you have calcium you have iodine all of these minerals are very very important I mean it’s pretty wild that uh people still use table salt right you have the anti-caking uh mixture in there sometimes they put a kind of a poor source of iodine in there sometimes they add sugar to the Salt but the problem with table salt it’s just a refined product you need these other trace minerals these other trace minerals are essential to help you with proteins and enzymes which are catalysts that allow chemical reactions to occur and unfortunately our food is very void of these trace minerals because a lot of times the farmers don’t put back in the trace minerals they might put in three minerals like nitrogen phosphorus and potassium but what about all these trace minerals also what about the uh all the salad that you have at the grocery store right a lot of the other vegetables a lot of them are grown either hydroponically or aeroponically uh or in soils that only have mpk Hydroponic and aeroponic really only use like 15 minerals and to my knowledge they don’t use all the trace minerals which you need so you can get these trace minerals from sea salt a high quality one and especially if you are exercising make sure you have more there are certain um sports like soccer football and if they’re practicing in the summer and they’re sweating a lot boy you can actually lose up to 18800 milligram per hour and sometimes up to 6,000 milligrams of sodium in a given day now sea salt also helps with the immune system uh people that have uh especially like sinus allergies can be improved if they have enough salt and there’s all sorts of sea salt type of U like nasal fleshes that help uh reduce the bacteria and even the viral loads in your sinosis if you go on a lows salt diet okay you’re going to trigger the sympathetic nervous system t
