RE: 26 day Detox: Day 7-10 - One does not simply eliminate salt
I'm not Dr Menzies, but I'm going to answer anyway with "hello, because we need salt!"
Refined sugar = bad
BUT sugar in whole fruits & veg, in the right quantity for your particular needs = good
Canola oil, margarine, trans fats = Bad, naughty fats
BUT stable animal fats, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, whole nuts and avocado = good, healthy come-to-mama fats
Refined salt in processed foods = probably bad
BUT real salt is VITAL for a lot of the ways our bodies work
So cutting out the salt in processed foods is a good thing, but not eating salt at all isn't
Now that I start blathering on, I remember I wrote a post about salt, once upon a time

yes!!!! she praises the necessity of sodium.... but table salt... (NaCl) she doesn't like very much hehehe
so @robmenzies did have some insight!!! and perhaps he will share it here (he messaged me on discord hehehe) but there is something to do with the balance between sodium and potassium in flushing the dirties out! Rob.... care to share??? hehehe
and i'm totally going to go ready your sorry salt story :)
