Salt has been unfairly demonized for decades. The truth is, our bodies need sodium to function properly.
Q: Why is salt important for health?
Salt provides essential electrolytes, particularly sodium, which help regulate fluid balance, nerve signaling, and muscle function. Without enough sodium, you may experience fatigue, headaches, cramps, or dizziness.
Q: What’s the difference between refined and unrefined salt?
This is where most of the confusion lies. Refined table salt—the white, bleached kind found in most grocery stores—is heavily processed and stripped of minerals. It often contains additives and chemicals. Unrefined salt, on the other hand, is rich in naturally occurring trace minerals that support overall health.
Q: What types of salt are best?
We use unrefined, mineral-rich salts that many health experts consider “superfoods.” Excellent options include:
Redmond Real Salt - Mined in the USA
Celtic sea salt – contains up to 92 trace minerals.
Himalayan pink salt – harvested from ancient sea beds, rich in minerals.
Volcanic salts – such as Hawaiian Black Lava, with unique mineral profiles.
Q: How much salt should I have?
This is not medical advice and everyone is different. That being said, your body (and taste buds) are generally good guides—if you’ve had enough, food will start tasting “too salty.” This only applies if you're consuming REAL SALT, not the highly refined type, or even worse, things like monosodium glutamate (MSG).
