The other day when I was thinking of all the changes since switching to a paleo diet salt was something I thought of. Two years ago when I started taekwondo I found that I was craving salt, to the point that I would have been happy just pouring salt on my tongue. At the suggestion of my instructor I added sports drinks into my regimen. Since then I would always have it. There was always a little in my water as I always had it diluted otherwise it was too sweet. Fast forward to the switch to paleo and no more sports drinks. Less than a week from starting paleo my mother was having leg cramps and through research I discovered that a lack of salt was a possible cause. The articles went further to say switching to the celtic salt was better because it has all the minerals that table or sea salt don’t. I realized that even though I’m working out as much I’m not craving salt. Maybe there is something to be said for switching to the better salt.
