Which Salt is the Best? Doctor's Review of Kosher, Pink Himalayan, Sea, Table, and Salt Substitute

Which Salt is the Healthiest? Doctor's Review of Kosher, Pink Himalayan, Sea, Table, and Salt Substitute

This week we are discussing five different kinds of salt: Kosher, Table Salt, Sea Salt, Pink Himalayan and Salt Substitutes. The most recent recommendations tell us to stay under 2300 mg of sodium a day, but the average American eats over 3400 mg each day, and many of you out there may be eating way more than that.

Did you know that one just slice of pizza from a restaurant is around 957 mg of sodium? So keeping your sodium levels down is important to stay healthy. You can find sodium information on every package in the grocery store and from nutrition information listed on restaurant websites.

But to flavor your food there are many varieties of salt out there to buy. So which one should you be choosing? Watch the video now because we are going to dive into 5 different versions.

Working as a kidney doctor, I found that my patients were often unaware of just how important diet and lifestyle were and how often they felt unsupported by generic advice to “eat healthy”. The home cook in me hated hearing this, so I set out to find a better way.

I began to combine my medical training and love of food, making videos of simple recipes that were based on science and packed with flavor. Instead of just saying “eat healthy” to my patients, I could give them the resources they needed to make a real difference in their health.

Kidney doctor, passionate home cook, and YouTube sensation Dr Blake Shusterman empowers people to proactively manage their health by stepping into the kitchen. The author of several cookbooks with over 100,000 YouTube subscribers, The Cooking Doc® believes anyone, at any age can transform their health with small changes that make a big difference. Based on science and packed with flavor, Dr. Blake’s simple recipes have inspired home cooks everywhere to change their diet, retrain their taste buds, and transform their health.
