Salt Your Food, the Celtic Way

There is really no evidence of salt intake causing health conditions such as high blood pressure.

"In fact, many studies show that lowering your salt intake to these levels will cause more heart attacks and mortality. Furthermore, low salt diets will lead to elevated insulin levels. Finally, low salt diets do not significantly lower blood pressure...

...The recent JAMA (November 23/30, 2011) study found the lowest rate of cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular death, heart attack, stroke, congestive heart failure and non-cardiovascular death occurred when the sodium intake was 4-6,000mg/day."

I recommend Celtic Brand or Himalayan Sea Salt found at my local Trader Joe's.
