Ever wonder how caravan drivers get camels across deserts? They offer salt licks to help the camels retain water. The same principle applies to us: exceeding the recommended 2g daily salt intake (we average 10g) causes water retention—and hello, cellulite.
This striking analogy from Jean-Jacques Garet's The Great Book of Self-Hypnosis for Weight Loss echoes advice from dietitians like Bénédicte Van Craynest: too much salt impairs circulation and worsens cellulite.
So, how to dial it back without losing flavor (we get it, salt is addictive)? 1. Cut back on prepared meals and scrutinize their salt content. 2. Plan ahead at home and unleash your creativity. Healthy eating is affordable and straightforward. Stock up on essentials like vinegars (check out Tousansel, a dedicated salt-free shop), music-sprouted seeds (yes, really—a quirky boost), lemons, and spices. Then, play around with flavors inspired by the moment. Delicious results await!
