Chapter 1: Why is salt critical for survival and brain function?
When I was growing up, they said salt was like unhealthy for you. And I used to like avoid it.
I think it's one of the biggest lies actually. Salt is actually third most important to the body.
Chapter 2: What are the dangers of consuming table salt compared to mineral-rich salts?
Oxygen is obviously the first one. Second one would be our water, which we also really need to look at the source of our water. And third would be salt.
and water and salt have this incredible alchemy in fact if you were to cut your salt completely from your diet you would get headaches nausea dizziness and i don't know what the time factor is and obviously it's going to be different for everyone and what the temperatures are but eventually you will go into a coma and you'll die holy crap so it's time time now for us to make new choices yeah and to really understand the source and the quality of the products that we are consuming because it makes such a
Okay, guys, from South Africa, we got Samantha from Oryx Desert Salt. Thanks for the long journey over here.

Chapter 3: How does Oryx Desert Salt differ from other salt types?
Feels good. And especially the more research I do into like regular salt and sea salt, there seems to be some concerns there, right?
They definitely are.
Could you address some of those?
Yeah, sure. So, I mean, even I grew up on table salt because that was what was on the supermarket shelf. And, you know, now we're in this time where we're not really looking at and considering the source of our products and the quality of our products. But I think that's changing with podcasts like yours.
Chapter 4: What is the environmental impact of ocean pollution on salt?
So table salt came around early 1900s and it was the start of the convenience food era. see how it runs or see how it pours. So anti-caking and free flow chemicals were added into the salt in order for it to not clump and absorb moisture. But that's actually what salt's gift is to the body. It helps us stay hydrated.
Chapter 5: How does hydration affect energy and brain function?
And salt is actually also used in textiles, paint, plastic, paper. So it's a binding agent and they needed to use it. They do...
Chapter 6: What sustainable practices are involved in salt production?
use it in huge, vast volumes. They need it to pour freely without it clumping. And so they put various different anti-caking and free-flow chemicals in, some of which the body doesn't recognize and it's a chemical that's countering the fact that salt is hydroscopic. And dextrose is also added in because those anti-caking and free flow chemicals have a bitter taste.
Chapter 7: How can you choose the healthiest salt for your diet?
And so they then add sugar to counter that.
Wow. Sugar to salt?
Sugar into salt. Dextrose. So if you have a look on some of the table salt packaging, you will find dextrose on it.
Chapter 8: What are the surprising health benefits of using Oryx Desert Salt?
So table salt in a way is fake salt. It looks like salt and it tastes like salt. And you know, definitely adds flavor to your food, but the body doesn't recognize it as a whole food. It doesn't come with its minerals and its trace elements. In fact, sometimes they call those impurities. But I mean, that's how salt, that's how nature produces salt, is with that combination.
And there's an alchemical process that happens with the body. It recognizes, in fact, that the minerals and the trace elements in the sodium chloride create like a positive negative charge. And we are electromagnetic beings. We require... that salt medium to stay hydrated and to conduct our brain functioning, our digestion, our muscles.
Every function in our body actually requires us to be hydrated with a good balance of minerals and trace elements and sodium chloride.
It's so ironic because when I was growing up, they said salt was like unhealthy for you.
I know.
And I used to like avoid it.
I think it's one of the biggest lies, actually. Yeah, a couple of people have sort of planted some seeds, which makes sense. Dr. Zach Bush, you know, he said it's the most dumbed down version of salt, table salt. So it came around the Industrial Revolution.
And in the late afternoons, if you're feeling that sort of energetic cognitive slump, one can take some water, grind some, I would say, Oryx Desert Salt into your water and have that. And it actually, you can, you know, you feel this lift.
Wow.
