Doctors say, watch out for sodium! But we need sodium, as long as it is the right kind. We have no bioelectricity in the body without sodium.
Let’s take a look at how the body charges its bioelectricity and how the quality of our sodium makes a difference.
Body Electricity
Ever feel out of energy? Lethargic? It is probably because your body is not charging properly and the energy charging minerals of our electrically-charged materials, electrolytes, are absent from our diet.
Our bodies are electric. It is like a DC (Direct Current) motor, connecting to energy supplies from the sun and the earth then creating flow in the body with internal electricity, electrolytes. These are charged minerals. The main ones are
Sodium
Magnesium
Potassium
Calcium
Electrolytes
Since they are charged, just like electrons flow from the earth to our bodies when we walk barefoot, the cells have a flow of bioelectricity across the cell membrane. Depending on the charge of the electrolytes, the sodium and potassium in particular, work through a cellular opening, the sodium-potassium pump. The differences in charges maintain the electrical homeostasis of the cell, and either charge flows into the cell when there is a deficiency, or charge flows out when there is an excess.
The bottom line is, we need electricity in our cells. Therefore, we need electrolyte foods like sea vegetables or vegetables like leafy greens or root vegetables.
One of the main reasons this is important is hydration. If we don’t have enough of these minerals, we can’t easily absorb water. We can drink a ton of water, but it is not absorbed since it needs to work with electrolytes, also to nourish the cells.
There is an excellent product, Beam Minerals and they are specialized in this area. I always recommend food for natural electrolytes, but their products are a great support to catch up.
Lastly, sodium is your friend, as long as it is natural. We need it, but processed sodium or iodized salt is like a poison in the body. And, if you are a coffee drinker, add a dash of salt. This will counteract the bitterness, the acidity, and make sweeteners less needed.
Most people avoid bitter foods without realizing they are missing one of the body’s most powerful healing signals. Discover how bitter greens and herbs activate liver detoxification, stimulate digestive enzymes, and how cilantro binds and removes heavy metals — turning everyday foods into a complete detox system.
Chronic fatigue isn’t a mystery — it’s a chemistry problem. Learn how Eastern medicine identifies the root causes Western medicine misses: gut dysfunction, nutrient imbalance, and depleted energy systems. Discover a proven protocol to rebuild from within.
Most people do everything right — the supplements, the protocol, the research. So why do they stop? The real reason healing fails has nothing to do with the remedy. Learn the three root causes of every condition and the system that finally makes healing last.
