1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,060 It's a difference between using kosher salt versus like Himalayan sea salt or Celtic salt. 2 00:00:05,220 --> 00:00:11,840 The pink Himalayan sea salt, you know, there's been a lot of studies recently that show that a lot of brands of pink Himalayan sea salt, 3 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,220 the majority of them are coming out of China and they're actually laden with mercury. 4 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:16,660 They have a lot of heavy metals in them. 5 00:00:16,780 --> 00:00:20,900 So based on the way the salt is mined, if they don't take the crystal vein of the salt 6 00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:24,560 and they actually start to get some of the ore that's around, they can get heavy metals. 7 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:30,900 So my recommendation is that you use Celtic salt, especially for your table salt, because it actually has more minerals. 8 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,480 I think it has 61 or 62 minerals that are central for human beings. 9 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,440 And the Celtic salt tastes even saltier. 10 00:00:38,540 --> 00:00:42,780 It just actually has a more full flavor than iodized table salt or pink Himalayan sea salt. 11 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,720 So you can use those for eating. 12 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,340 You can also use Baja gold. 13 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:48,860 That's one of my favorites. 14 00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:50,040 That's a sea salt. 15 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,320 I want to say that that's mined in Mexico and it's completely heavy metal free. 16 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,180 You can use it also to cure your meats and your poultries. 17 00:00:57,380 --> 00:01:00,480 But ground up in a salt grinder, it's amazing salt. 18 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,080 And contrary to popular belief, sodium rarely raises your blood pressure. 19 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,560 What raises your blood pressure is iodized table salt. 20 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,100 But most of us are deficient in sodium. 21 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,660 We're not having too much of sodium. 22 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:17,940 As a matter of fact, one of the reasons why people's level of sodium shows up as elevated in their blood 23 00:01:17,940 --> 00:01:19,840 is usually because they're dehydrated.
