The push to consume less salt is not only standard health advice. It has become part of popular culture, so universally accepted that it is never questioned. Discovering how unconvincing the evidence actually is will therefore come as a surprise. And how harmful it may be to consume too little salt. Join us on this examination of the history and science behind the low salt guidelines. It isn't a short read. But you'll learn about salt sensitivity, how much you can consume safely and why drinking water can protect you against an ancient survival switch that may save your life in times of drought, but could kill you in the modern world.

Winter has arrived. Coffee and tea intake are up and water intake is down. You’re moving less and you feel like you’re sweating less. Hydration is not a top priority during the colder months. Perhaps, it should be.

Are you low on energy while fasting? Do you get dizzy or shaky? How about slight headaches or brain fog? Electrolytes may be your secret weapon.
Hydration affects your brain in profound and wide-ranging ways. Learn why this remarkable organ is so sensitive to water and electrolyte status, what happens when your hydration is only slightly off, and why senior citizens are particularly vulnerable. Best of all, a simple hack can make all the difference.
Drinking enough water is especially important during breastfeeding. And, getting sufficient sodium has surprising benefits to both mother and baby. In this blog, we unpack the science, simply and cautiously.
How much water should one drink? What about electrolytes? Does sodium increase breast milk production? How about more water? Get the answers. It could make all the difference.
Surprising new evidence from an unlikely source shows that the more minerals you get, the less you eat overall. Our latest blog explores this fascinating “satiety effect” and shows you exactly which minerals reduce hunger most.
We also reveal what your optimum daily mineral targets should be for all the essential minerals that humans need. We’ll help you understand the important difference between optimum and minimum. Don’t miss this one.
Claims for how to cure a hangover are the realm of urban legend. Rather than promising an elixir, we offer some salty science and the chance to feel considerably better the next day.
