I thought after a challenge like lasts months sugar cutting challenge, we could all use something a bit easier. :) As you probably see from the title, I'm not going to be harping on you to cut down on salt, but to simply switch the type of salt you're consuming. There is a lot of conflicting information out there on salt. Some places you'll read that salt is salt and there really aren't any differences. I'm hoping to give you a play by play ...Read More
