How? Like where may I find such food? Or what did you do?
- DoreenMichele 7y agoI was diagnosed with a specific medical condition that gave me a lot of information about where things had gone wrong. I did a lot of research into what kinds of nutrients I was likely short on. I started with supplements because they are far easier to deal with. This comment by me might cast a little light on that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20714419 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20714419 Some things I found useful: Celtic sea salt is the single best sea salt. But any sea salt, kosher salt or canning and pickling salt is better than table salt. If you are on any medication whatsoever, research "nutrient depletions" for that drug. So, for example, if you take Ibuprofen a lot, it depletes a specific B vitamin. This helps you determine specific nutrients you probably need. Keep a food journal. Look up super foods. So, for example, when I decided to work on my selenium deficiency, I ate one or more Brazil nuts most days for about six months until I was sick of them and apparently no longer deficient because they are crazy high in selenium. (Quick and dirty answer. Not to be mistaken for a comprehensive answer.)
- ianai 7y agoWow thank you so much for your reply! I hadn’t thought that medications could make me deficient in nutrients, but it makes sense in hindsight. What makes Celtic sea salt the best?
- DoreenMichele 7y agoIt's something like 84% sodium chloride (aka salt) and 16% minerals and micronutrients found naturally in sea water.
