Is salt the main culprit behind high blood pressure? It's not.
Is this the key to longevity? Yes.
Not all salt is created equal.
Eat mineral-rich sea salt and bamboo salt as your body desires to live a long and healthy life.

"The Truth and Health of Salt" contains everything the author has discovered about salt and health through over 30 years of research.
Natural salt, which had been used to flavor food, became mass-produced as cheap refined salt after the Industrial Revolution, and was consumed without distinction between industrial and food use, which led to the problem of salt raising blood pressure.
As mineral-rich natural salt is replaced with refined salt, it contributes to raising blood pressure and is recognized as the basis for a low-salt diet.
The author established a scientific theory through multifaceted research and experiments on the efficacy of refined salt, sea salt, and bamboo salt to correct the indiscriminate low-salt diet that has continued for over 100 years.
In addition, he gathered research results from science, medicine, history, Eastern philosophy, and experience and proved the truth about salt and its relationship to health in one book.


Chapter 1 analyzed minerals in river water and sea water.
To elucidate the relationship between the minerals contained in seawater and sea salt, we compared and analyzed seawater from various regions around the world and discovered the reasons why Korean seawater and tidal flats are superior.
Chapter 2 introduces the world's natural salt production sites and analyzes their components.
We hope to continue this tradition to future generations by introducing in detail the types of natural salt, such as sea salt, sea salt, earth salt, refined salt, lake salt, and rock salt, as well as the now-obsolete manufacturing and harvesting methods.
Chapter 3: As the salt market shifted due to economic and industrial development, refined salt, which is pure salt, was mass-produced, natural salt disappeared, and the salt standards of each country became centered on pure salt.
In addition, this process depicts the revival of natural salt, which was in danger of extinction.
Chapter 4 covers the birth of the salt-blood pressure hypothesis and the globalization of low-salt diets as a result of the expansion of pure salt.
Chapter 5 reveals the relationship between refined salt, sea salt, bamboo salt, bamboo salt, blood pressure, and kidney lesions through animal experiments using the same method used to prove the salt-blood pressure hypothesis in the early 1900s.
Chapter 6 explains, through science, medicine, and Eastern philosophy, how salt and the minerals in it circulate throughout the body's major organs.
In particular, it added a multi-faceted research aspect, such as the role of the fetus and salt, and salt from the perspective of yin-yang and the five elements.
Chapter 7 reveals the secrets of Korea's bamboo salt, the only one of its kind in the world.
It contains information on the manufacturing method of bamboo salt, changes in mineral content depending on the number of times it is roasted, and animal experiments that prove the efficacy of bamboo salt in excreting heavy metals from the body, including hair loss and recovery due to heavy metals.
Chapter 8 contains the use of salt in everyday life and the author's experience of losing and recovering his health through salt.
Chapter 9 proposes a salt policy that will expand the global use of Korean bamboo salt and sea salt to prepare for the growing importance of natural salt due to global warming and to protect human health.


The author, through a study encompassing science, health and medicine, literature, history, and Eastern philosophy, hopes to uncover the truth about salt and free humanity from the harmful effects of a low-salt diet.
Additionally, it is proposed to develop a food vaccine that enhances immunity against diseases such as influenza and coronavirus by consuming sea salt and bamboo salt as the body desires.
