In one of the sources that my DH came across, I discovered an interesting fact that makes alot of sense to me in the larger picture. Apparently sand is in refined table salt and it is very abrasive in the arteries and the body sends cholesterol to the sites to stop the damage. In fact the H&L stand for High and Low in reference to the carriers of cholesterol, not the cholesterol itself.

We need cholesterol for many functions and if we stop using refined table salt and use unrefined sea salt (which is pink or grey and not white) then we would accumulate less cholesterol in our arteries.

Sodium in the processed foods and packaged foods are refined salts so even low sodium is the wrong kind of salt. We need salt in order to keep the potassium/sodium pump primed and balanced in our cells, so reducing table salt and using unrefined salt would be a health benefit. Redmond Real Salt, Celtic Salt or Himalayan sea salt are all good salts.

We take 1/2tsp in warm water every morning as soon as we get up and then I salt food liberally. All the essential minerals and trace elements are in the salt so you are getting a good natural source of nutrition.

Just some information that I thought was worth sharing. Also, watch the amount of soy you consume as it is next to impossible to get non-gmo soy and if you are anywhere near hypo thyroid it can really send you over the edge. There are so many other options that I avoid it as much as I can.

FWIW
