Salting your food regularly, contrary to popular belief, is not bad for blood pressure for the body.

Now, isolated sodium chloride like you'd find in cheap table salt is not great for the body.

Cucumbers are really a good example.

Do you know what is one of the most clean, mineral-rich sources of really good salt that you can find at most grocery stores in the US?

It's in a gel-like form.

And so by shopping around the perimeter of the grocery store, where you don't have a lot of the dehydrated processed and packaged foods, and by instead consuming the natural fruits and vegetables and produce that are very rich in both minerals and water, you're putting into your body the minerals that it needs to actually keep the body's battery charged

Celtic salt.

You can find it in like a little blue bag

You know, I've seen it at Safeway, Rosar's, Albertsons.

I don't think Costco has it.

You know, a few of the grocery stores.

But Celtic Salt is a perfect example of something you can get and sprinkle on your food or even put pinches of into your water that does a fantastic job keeping the body's battery charged.
