i want to talk about the difference between  himalayan sea salt and just regular sea salt is  

there a difference there is it’s a big difference  the great majority of both of these have sodium  

chloride they both have trace minerals but sea  salt has microplastics or nano amounts of plastic  

in one study it showed that 90 percent of all  the brands that were tested had microplastics  

however in himalayan sea salt zero plastics  why because of the deposits that make up  

the himalayan salt comes from an ancient  sea before humans before the pollution  

now the problem with microplastics is that it  gets into our system it creates inflammation  

it creates a lot of problems  because it can act as an endocrine  

disruptor and it does take a little bit of time  to degrade and break down about 500 years so  

what you need to do is limit your exposure to it  so i do not recommend consuming sea salt unless  

it’s celtic sea salt or it could be pronounced  celtic this is okay this is from france  

it’s cleaner there’s probably some others that  are fine too but regular sea salt comes from  

the ocean which is polluted and chances are it  will have microplastics so you want to avoid that  

now that then brings up the question  about table salt what about that  

the majority of the population is just  consuming table salt they have no idea  

that that too has microplastics no trace  minerals just sodium chloride it’s bleached  

some of the time they even add sugar to it some of  the time and sometimes they add anti-caking agent  

aluminum which is toxic to your brain so what i’m  trying to do is increase your awareness and focus  

in on a healthy salt because we need salt we  needed to make hydrochloric acid in our stomach  

to actually kill off microbes help us digest  protein and assimilate minerals adrenals need  

a certain amount of salt our immune system needs  a certain amount of salt if we’re low on salt the  

risk of getting insulin resistance goes up salt  helps with hydration also it’s involved in the  

sodium potassium pump which is needed to power  your muscles and your nerves and give us energy  

now how much salt do we need we need between one  and two teaspoons depending on your activity level  

how much you’re sweating but when you do keto you  want to do at least one teaspoon if not a little  

bit more each day because of all the water weight  that you’re losing and with the water weight loss  

comes a loss of electrolytes as well now a  couple things that you can do in addition to  

avoiding exposure to microplastics because it’s  in the water from the plastic bottles that you’re  

using and also the canned water it’s in a lot  of different things especially if you’re using  

microwaves with plastics and even styrofoam cups  if you have good friendly bacteria there’s been  

some studies that show that certain microbes  in your microbiome can help break down some of  

these plastics number two consuming cruciferous  food on a regular basis helps to dismantle and  

eliminate endocrine disruptors in general and  also consuming enough omega-3 has a tendency to  

keep your inflammation down because one of the  problems with microplastics is inflammation and  

so if you counter that with taking things that  keep your inflammation low you can minimize the  

damage to some degree but definitely don’t consume  just regular sea salt go with the himalayan salt  

or go with some other salts like celtic  salts that don’t have micro plastics

before you go if you have a question about a  product or you’re new to keto and you want to  

know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you  need a debug because it’s not going as smooth  

i have a keto consultant standing  by to help you this is just for the  

people in the u.s hopefully in the future  we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call  

but i put the number down below  so you can call and get some help
