The Salty Secrets They Don't Want You to Know

Salt. It's a staple in every kitchen, a mineral we've been told is essential for our bodies. But have you ever stopped to think about the kind of salt you're consuming? The truth might surprise you.
Let's start with table salt. You might assume that the pristine white crystals are pure and natural, but the reality is far from it. Most table salt has been stripped of its natural minerals and replaced with a cocktail of chemicals. Anti-caking agents to prevent clumping, dextrose (a type of sugar) to stabilize the iodine, and even bleach to maintain that sparkling white color. Suddenly, that simple sprinkle doesn't seem so innocuous.
But what about sea salt? Surely, salt from the oceans must be a healthier choice, right? Unfortunately, that's not the whole story. Recent studies have revealed a disturbing fact: over 90% of the world's sea salt is contaminated with microplastics. Let that sink in for a moment. Every time you reach for that trendy sea salt grinder, you could be adding a dash of plastic to your meal.
So, what's the solution? Your body does need salt. It's crucial for hydration, energy levels, and maintaining a proper balance of fluids. But the type of salt you choose makes all the difference. Unrefined, natural salt, complete with its full spectrum of minerals, can actually support your health. Processed salt, on the other hand, can drain it.
This is just one of the many eye-opening topics we delve into on Day 4 of the 8-Day Mind Over Meals Virtual Retreat. We're exposing the saltiest lies in the food industry and arming you with the knowledge to make informed choices. You'll learn:
- The crucial differences between processed salt and its natural, unrefined counterpart
- Why the right kind of salt can actually boost hydration and metabolism
- How the food industry hides chemical-laden salt in processed foods
- The best sources of pure, mineral-rich salt that nourish your body
But don't just take my word for it. Here's what Charlene S., one of our participants, had to say about her experience:?
"This retreat has helped me to celebrate progress over perfection. It's ok to strive for perfection but there has to be a written plan to be able to recognize and repair setbacks during the journey. I must use tools: the mirror, the scale, and the measuring tape. I have made noticeable changes by recognizing the importance of being in a support group, reading and writing the affirmations, and remembering to ask myself why I am eating and if what I'm eating is good for me."
The salt you choose can either fuel your health or drain it. The question is, do you know which one is in your shaker?
