Sodium Content of Our MealsUpdated a month ago
Salt has been unfairly demonized for decades. The truth is, our bodies need sodium to function properly.
Q: Why is salt important for health?
Salt provides essential electrolytes, particularly sodium, which help regulate fluid balance, nerve signaling, and muscle function. Without enough sodium, you may experience fatigue, headaches, cramps, or dizziness.
Q: What’s the difference between refined and unrefined salt?
This is where most of the confusion lies. Refined table salt—the white, often bleached kind found in most grocery stores—is heavily processed and stripped of minerals. Unrefined salt is rich in naturally occurring trace minerals that support overall health.
Q: What type of salt do we use?
We use unrefined, mineral-rich salts that many health experts consider “superfoods.”
