Let’s talk about sea salt.

It’s important to get sea salt that has been extracted from parts of the world with very low, or zero, microplastics.

The best types of sea salt are:
• Himalayan sea salt
• Celtic Sea Salt
• Redmond Real Salt sea salt
• Baja Gold sea salt

All of these types of sea salt contain sodium chloride and trace minerals.

If you want a sea salt that’s higher in trace minerals, you might want to go with Baja Gold. But, if you need more sodium chloride, the other types of sea salt I’ve mentioned are all great choices.

Table salt, or sodium chloride, only has two minerals. Sea salt has between 60 and 94 minerals. Regular salt can also come from very polluted areas and can contain microplastics. Microplastics can affect the body’s endocrine system.

People who are salt-sensitive may really just need to go on a low-carb diet and consume more potassium.

You need sea salt to support a healthy body. A deficiency in sodium or chloride can lead to all kinds of issues.

If you’re deficient in sodium, you may feel more anxiety and have trouble sleeping. Sodium deficiency can impact your immune system and lead to high blood pressure. Sea salt also helps hydrate you, and without enough sodium, your risk for insulin resistance goes up.

If you’re on keto and are doing intermittent fasting, it’s essential to consume enough sea salt. If you don’t, you could experience symptoms like low blood pressure, dehydration, and overall weakness. If you exercise, your need for sea salt goes up even more.

For about 5 months I have been mixing 1/4 teaspoon of Himalayan salt with juice of 1/2 lime, about 6 ounces of water and a splash of Apple cider vinegar. The change in my body has been eye opening. My skin has become elastic again and many wrinkles have disappeared. I also feel as if I can breathe easier.

Celtic by all means is better since it’s the only salt that has 3 forms of Magnesium. Magnesium loves water and holds on to it. Thanks to an Angel I’ve gotten the privilege to learn from Miss O’Neill

A Celtic rock crystal under the tongue before every glass of water 🙌

I just listened to Barbara O'Neill talking about putting Celtic salt under your tongue to make water enter your cells

I went to check on my 84 year old mother. She wasnt good at all. Called ambulance and took her to emergency room. Tests were done and the Doctor came in. He said your mom's low on sodium. I said potassium, he said no, SALT. Because of all the hype, she quit using salt! It was also possible because her sodium was soo low, that it caused a mild cardiac episode! After several days on IV, she was better.

Redmond's Real Salt is amazing. And since going from low salt to generously salting my food and drinking electrolyte water, my BP is more stable than ever before. And no more chronic fatigue and weak legs!

I been eating Celtic Salt for the last 4 years.
I changed my diet for the last 13 years, and it was the best thing, I could done for myself.

As a Nurse, I have done trainings for staff who care for others and when I do a training on Blood pressure, I always inform staff to get rid of the table salt that they use in homes and for themselves because the body doesn't recognize it, so the body takes more water into the bloodstream so it can get dissolved. This is probably why so many people have high blood pressure....I have used Himalayan salt for over ten years now...I use to have issues with dry eyes in the winter...once I started use the real salt, dry eyes went away, along with my baby toes get purple in the winter as well...real salt will lower your BP.

As a child I used to feel very travel sick, and some elderly relative told me to eat something salty before and during travelling. It helped!

I love the "Dr berg game" where I can put anything into the search bar and put dr berg after it and he'll tell us the important stuff!

[mikerevendale]

There was a study out of England some years back that clearly concluded that too little salt can lead to increased cardiovascular incidences. The study was massive, and it thoroughly disproved the "salt is bad" nonsense we've heard for many decades.

[suzanmiller]

I have avoided salt my entire life. All 66 years, until about six months ago. Now I love it. I use Celtic sea salt and had no idea it’s from France.

Hello Dr.Berg. You have helped me lose 70lbs in 2018-2019 and I recently gained some of it back however I am going back on keto starting tomorrow and recently received my order of Dr.Berg electrolytes Magnesium glycinate vitamin D3-K2 and also just placed an order for Celtic sea salt because I love salting my steak 24hrs ahead of time and also love using it in my coffee. I just wanted to thank you for helping me with my over all health with your endless free information and your quality vitamins and products that you also give us free knowledge of how they work and their benefits. Congradulations on your YouTube success you deserve it for all you do for the health of the world while other doctors do nothing but push products to mask problems instead of giving us knowledge on how to fix problems like you do. I cant thank you enough and that's why I buy your products to support you like you support us. Thank you

[AlexandruVataman]

There is a lot of fake Himalayan salt on the market these days. Recently I discovered for myself Celtic salt and it was something I never tried before! Everything is super delicious and flavorful, I’m loving it a lot. ❤

[nandiamond]

I always put a bit of sea salt in my coffee and take sea salt in my drinking water during the day. At night I put sea salt under my tongue with some honey to help me go to sleep.

[MrSCOTTtheSCOT]

There is one problem with buying himalayan sea salt is the Grinders you often see them sold in are a tube with a set of plastic grinding cogs, . If you use himalayan sea salt use it loose, empty it out off any plastic grinder and use a mortar and pestle or make sure its a grinder with metal grinding teeth, If you use the sold in grinder , the salt is powerful enough to grind the plastic grinding teeth and leave micro plastic in the salt. I noticed this early when the Himalayan fad first hit, i was seasoning a steak one day when seasoning was laying on the bottom of the pan went black molten and smoked nasty, i then worked out the grinders were disintegrating and the particles contaminating the salt. But altogether natural salts are just the same the minor trace mineral difference are negligible, I like french salt pan evaporation salt that's what i use only now. There are scientific videos on YT comparing the actual trace minerals in Him Salt to others Himalayan salt isn't any more special

[curiouscat]

I appreciate Dr. Berg doing the research because I'd heard that plastics were a concern in Celtic salt. I use both types. I'm in USA so I use Redmonds all day in my food and water but use Celtic for a somewhat sweeter flavor in my coffee AND I use it to soak some psoriasis patches on my legs. It reduces itching and inflammation, and one patch has completely returned to soft normal skin, although still a dark stain after a year. (I've read that swimming in the ocean can resolve skin problems).

I was told a few years back I have high blood pressure and then strongly told I need to watch my intake of salt. I then went and saw a different doctor and he too told me the same thing, but he did some basic blood work too. So when I got my results back and I myself noticed my sodium was under normal range a little bit I asked the doctor, how can I have high blood pressure and you told me to watch my salt intake and don't use much and there's Mrs. Dash yet, my sodium shows it's below where I'm suppose to be. He look like a deer in headlights. Stuck!

Then he said, it could be from other things too. I said yeah not enough potassium and electrolytes. Didn't say much after that.

[happybear]

I used sea salt for 30 years and I noticed that it took away the swelling in my lower legs, then I started to take himalayan salt, that helped with my seasonal rhinitis
