And because of the importance of minerals, I'm a huge fan of supplementing with a lot of these supplements that are mineral-based, like LMNT, or Protect, or Keaton, or even really, really good salts.

So, you know, I talk about earthing and grounding, about avoiding heavy exposure to electricity, about swimming in natural bodies of water.

But there's one other thing that I think is really interesting, and it's also relevant to, you know, the environment I'm in right now.

As a matter of fact,

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

And that is, it turns out that photons of light,

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

particularly in what would be called about the 650 to 810 nanometer wavelength of light.

But really good, fancy, like full-spectrum mineral salt is fantastic for keeping the body's battery charged.

And that would define like infrared and red light is fantastic for charging up the body's battery.

I'm just a geek about salt.

I always go around with a fanny pack and I'll have like a little bit of olive oil, a little bit of salt, like different things in there that allow me to upgrade a meal that I might eat.

Your cells absorb that photonic wavelength of light.

So that means like watching the sunrise or the sunset,

Going outside like I am, you know, with a little bit of skin exposed during the day, using infrared lights, like near-infrared and red and infrared lights such as you'd get in like an infrared sauna or some of these red light panels that are popular that people put in their offices.

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?

Celtic salt.

You can find it in like a little blue bag

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

It turns out that that's really good for keeping the body's battery charged.
