What's NOT a scam that everyone thinks is a scam?

Salt 🧂

People mistake salt as some sort of toxin for the body. When really if you’re active, you need to seriously work on replenishing salt in your body.

- Salt is not scamming them directly but people do counter-productively believe it is damaging to health
- We lose a bunch when working out via sweat
- Salt encourages us to drink & hydrate more
- Less purified salts are better, I.e. Himalayan and contain more electrolytes & minerals than the ground table salts we’re all accustomed to
- Magnesium is something we’re all deficient in and salt can help
