So - from time to time, the great salt debate emerges, I've had some new insight and thought I would throw that out for you all.....
On a recent business trip to peurto rico, I had some free time and indulged in some dips in the ocean....yeah it's a rough job peeps, but has a few perks.:D
Anyhoo - so this ocean water is really salty! I NEVER knew how much water gets into you when you're swimming! I will NEVER go into a clorinated pool again, omg!!!:eek:
Anyway - since I could actually taste the salt water, no matter what I did, it kept getting into my mouth - usually through my nose. I have never noticed this in pools or in lakes. Then again - the wave action is much much much more forceful.....
I am sure I consumed more salt in a 30 minute dip into the ocean than I do all day with my little celtic salt grinder....
This has really ended any question in my mind about salt consumption. I can't imagine anything more wholesome or natural or closer to eden than sea bathing in the tropics.
About an hour later and 1.5 mile walk back to the hotel, I leaned over to untie my shoe and about an ounce of ocean exited my nose. I was so shocked as I had tried to get it all out at the time. the natural neti!
With water, I found in the hot humid climate, and I had to eat mostly fruit by neccesity, I drank very little water. But when I was in vegas last year - I drank about 12-15 cups a day.
So yeah - don't force this stuff. Don't over think. If you are raw - you'll be draw to what you need and eventually step away from what is not best for you. Just go with the flow and enjoy!
