Finding salt
I just found this very interesting article about salt. Turns out we're doing it wrong. Refined salt is bad for us the same way refined sugar is bad for us. Makes sense doesn't it. Tomorrow I may go out an buy some real salt.

update: I went out and bought some Himalayan mountain salt and some Celtic sea salt. It appears when we buy salt from the super markets there is refined salt, and iondized salt and that is about it. All of the minerals and trace elements have been removed. Using unrefined mineral salts is a good start but remember our body only needs a small amount of salt. Salt actually dehydrates cell walls and kills them. This can be great for kill bacteria but it may hurt you as well.

Our blood is about the same consistency of salt and minerals as the ancient oceans. The oceans today are far to salty for us to live in so many creatures moved onto the land. We still need those minerals and a little bit of salt. The problem is they refined the salt and took out all the minerals and left us with high sodium diets. So our blood is deficient in minerals and high in the deadly sodium.

So use mineral salts instead of refined salt but don't use to much salt. Avoid all refined salts and look for other sources of minerals as well such as fresh fruit and vegetables, nuts, berries, seeds and legumes.

The ultimate of course would be if we could drink something that resembled our ancient oceans. Some kind of very low salt but rich in minerals drink. Obviously nothing on the market comes close to this now but that's a blog topic for another time.
