Salt of the Earth
The last post in my essential food foundations series. Two new series will debut next. Meet Your Inner Galaxy and Meet Your Inner Wilderness. Recipes coming your way honor the greens of Spring. Enjoy!
SALT OF THE EARTH
A favorite dietary outlaw here in The Fresh Life, yet an essential whole food in its unrefined form. Ignore the cries of Low Sodium! High Blood Pressure! Don’t fear the salt shaker. Here’s the truth. Salt is an essential nutrient. WHOLE SALT. From the sea, dried, that’s it. Sodium chloride is responsible for innumerable bodily functions, and yet dismissed as harmful. Scientific studies still don’t embrace the fact that not all salt is the same. Homogenized, industrialized and refined table salt is entirely different in the human body than real, whole salt.
