Sodium deficiency: table salt vs sea salt

(bjørn arne) #1

does it mather if i add some normal table salt in my water or buy expensive sea salt or varius other brands?

Nope. The only difference is table salt is just salt, no other trace elements which you might find in sea/rock salt. And maybe some iodine depending on which country you live in.

I’ve moved to rock salt because it doesn’t have the microplastics that sea salt has or the additives that table salt has

tnx guys!:slight_smile:
so its ok to just use normal table salt? :slight_smile:

I avoid table salt. It’s highly refined with most of thr beneficial minerals removed, anti caking agents added, and I read/heard that maltodextrin is added to some brands!
Have a listen to this podcast for starters…

While I have not done it yet, I plan to order some from ancient oceans. Supposedly it lacks the heavy metals and other poisons found in modern oceans. I think Redmonds was recommended but I could be mistaken.

As others have said, there is sugar added to some table salt

This may be anecdotal but when I first started fasting last year I used whatever salt I had. Then a couple weeks later I bought some store brand sea salt. My fasts were much easier once I started the sea salt. I did not find that to be true with Himilayan salt which I bought after that

Rock salt is loaded with impurities and not supposed to be consumed, that’s why it’s used only to clean softener resin, melt ice and other industrial uses. I’m assuming your using that term for salt crystals that you grind and not actual rock salt?

Nope, rock salt. Made out of rocks.

Salty bacon, salted butter, natural meat salts. I am pretty salty, except my language.
