Summary

Although conventional medicine may recommend a low-sodium diet, is this really the best for us? Low salt consumption has been linked to metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, poor digestion, parasites, and even depression. Salt is critical for proper brain and body functionality.

In today's episode, Sally Fallon Morrell presents Principle #9 of the Wise Traditions diet: that all traditional diets contain some salt. She dives deep into the subject and addresses the following and more:

what kinds of salts we should be consuming
salt's ability to improve satiety
salt's role in hormone function, brain development & sleep
the concerns about plastic in sea salt
the problem with refined salt

You will gain a new appreciation for the role of salt in your diet and how it protects your health.
