Guys and gals, for all of you that worry and argue which salt is better, here's what you can do to understand that it makes no difference on the scale that we're talking about: Buy (not needed to buy, actually just go to your supermarket and compare nutrient labels) a pack of table salt, a pack of sea salt and a pack of himalayan salt. Check the nutrients label and pull out your pocket calculators. That's right, it is mainly sodium and chloride (hence the chemical notation NaCl). The amount of calcium, magnesium, potassium and etc. is usually less than 1% per 100g, it is just a slight trace of them. If you eat 1kg of salt, you'll get a bit less than 0.2g of calcium, 0.07g magnesium, 0.08g potassium (varies a bit depending on salt type, I used Celtic Sea Salt for example but yeah...) which is nowhere near a justification to worry about salt type + good luck surviving that much salt intake. Salt (whatever type you prefer) is to provide sodium and chloride to your body and thats it (okay, okay taste too 🤤). If you want other electrolytes, turn to other substances and products. You don't go to the club to sleep, you don't go a restaurant to workout, you don't go to the office to watch movies, you don't eat salt for calcium, potassium and magnesium. I know the examples may not be bright, and that you can workout in a restaurant or binge watch your fav show in the office but thats what you'll be mainly doing there. The idea is what matters here, don't take it too literally 🤡😂 Have some common sense, just because a nutrient is mentionned on a product, as the food regulations require it to be listed, doesn't mean it is rich in those nutrients. Check the ratios per 100g, they're openly available on the labels of the food you're buying and it is not a secret to anybody. Peace ✌️🙏😇
I was learning that not all salt is the same. Yes it’s sodium, but apparently, pink salt for example is mined with dynamite and traces get into the salt
A documentary on TV said that sea salt contains micro plastic now so not good to use them in todays time due to the plastic pollution in the sea...try researching on line...
Sea salt is often promoted as being healthier than table salt. But sea salt and table salt have the same basic nutritional value. Sea salt and table salt contain comparable amounts of sodium by weight. Whichever type of salt you enjoy, do so in moderation.
@@shatteringthematrix6959 The health organization mentions it's the same based on human consumption proportion size. Yes, pink salt is slightly better, but only when consumed in kilograms....which would also get you killed.
Not sure if you ever found a solution for this, but I found *infusing* the lemon into water over many hours was the trick for me. When I started drinking *infused* lemon water my acid reflux and gastritis almost entirely disappeared, but it can still burn if I try to drink water with fresh squeezed lemon, immediately after making it. I peel the lemon, bruise it's flesh with a grater then dump everything into about a liter of water and leave overnight and voilà! Healthy lemon water to drink hot or cold next day - minus the bite😊
Thanks for the question, table salt generally is not as good, the ideal as far as we're aware is something like Himalayan Salt. The Salt in the video is Maldon Salt :)
This is only one electrolyte ??? What about the other electrolytes like potassium and magnesium etc?? These are needed by every cell, and just taking salt can alter the balance??
I have watched many recipes for DIY electrolytes and most of them add a sweetener claiming for proper absorption, the sweetener must be present. I battle with believing this considering the history of sugar and if it is true does it have to be sugar or can it be sweet such as date sugar coconut sugar or even monk fruit sugar... Thanks in advance 👌🪴
@@virginiacazares9883 The honest truth is that we would need to look into that more, however it sounds a little unnecessary - generally we have plenty of sugar - it's doubtful that it has a significant impact...
Can you drink this when you're on fasting or it just for when you're eating? What are good organic(homemade) electrolytes supplement for fasting(no sugar)? Thank you in advance
This dosnt even come close to a proper electrolyte mix. And theres no difference between "good quality salt" and table salt, you are looking for the sodium content and thats exactly what table salt is.
I would like to say that many aspects of this video are pure bullshit. For one, there is no reason to use lemon juice. Lemon juice contains citric acid, which is a weak acid and thus a weak electrolyte. It will not be effective. Also, it does not matter what type of salt you use, as long as it is Sodium Chloride. Sodium and Chloride are strong electrolytes regardless of whether this is cheap or expensive salt. It is still the same thing at the end of the day. So basically, the lemon juice is basically useless and you do not need expensive table salt. Any salt will do, as long as it is a strong electrolyte like sodium chloride.
@@SueKerriganHarrisArtist you can use any type of salt, you don’t need a special, expensive kind. So if you wanna use your table salt, that will work as well.
@@SueKerriganHarrisArtist you could add it but it won’t be as effective as salt. As I said before, citric acid, which is in lemon juice, is a weak electrolyte. It wouldn’t cause any problems but just know that it isn’t as effective as simple table salt.
@@jacobstarr9010 what about eating salt with food instead of putting it in water? Also what about potassium, and other stuff found in electrolyte tablets etc.
@@VeganProdigy nah, you just blindly gobble up marketing. An independent swiss food & water research group published their findings of comparing 25 different "himalayan salts" with 3 local table salt brands. The only difference was the price. More so, THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE (worldwide) OF HIMALAYAN SALT HAVING BENEFITS OVER TABLESALT. Find me one legit scientific source/paper that isn't marketing or social media BS. You probably also believe in healing crystals because you read a blogpost about it.

I recommend adding cucumber slices or even better, juiced/blended cucumber. Cucumber has more magnesium, calcium and potassium than lemon.
Thx😘
Lemon squeeze, shredded cucumber and some lime tastes amazing, very refreshing too.
Citric acid in lemon tho is important for ascorbic acid for the body
Can I dip cucumber in sea salt and lemon and eat it, and have a glass of water after?

Iodized salt is fine no need to scare people about what salt they use
Thank you
Thank you bro bro, about to start looking up what is considered a type good quality salts
Yes. Salt is salt.
Iodized salt does not have the same mineral content if any of pink salt or Celtics sea salt or redmonds real salt
Exactly
Celtic sea salt, best rehydrating, most different minerals of all salts

Suggestion
Cold water kills the digestive fire.
Always drink at room temperature or tepid to warm-hot. 👍😜
Instead of drinking the salt water to gain electrolytes ,you can drink water with lime, cucumber and salt .That will make you stay hydrated ❤🎉
Room temperature water not cold 👍
Thank you for this I’m a basketball player and it’s hard to find drinks with electrolytes ❤️❤️
It’s missing: Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc, and Manganese

your doctor is full of shit, table salt is just sodium chloride which is the only thing you need from salt

Your doctor doesn't know what salt is.
If the salt comes from the table from the sea?
Lemon has potassium and magnesium so does orange juice . But in low amounts.
unless you squeezed the juice, juice is sugar water
