Salt isn't the evil we were led to believe...

If, like me, you felt awful cutting down on your salt intake as per all the medical advice you might be interested to read this! Apologies for the non-working link. Hopefully Health Unlocked will sort this out very soon!

Thanks I was lucky enough to have a cardiologist with some common sense who told me to eat more salt. I felt better almost immediately

My daughter when pregnant was told a little salt would help leg cramps - it did.

Forget energy/hydration drinks - adding a tiny bit of salt & sugar in water does the job.

Also folks were given 'salt' tablets in hot climes, why? J x

Dr Brownstein also makes a claim about salt. He recommends unrefined sea salt.
