So, should I throw out my Himalayan pink salt?

Absolutely not! It's a fine salt for cooking. Just see it for what it is: a seasoning. Use it in your kitchen to make your healthy meals taste better, not as a health supplement.

Will the pink salt drink help me lose "water weight"?

It might, temporarily, by altering your body's fluid balance. But this is not fat loss. The water weight will return as soon as you normalize your sodium intake, and the practice can be stressful on your heart and kidneys.

What if I exercise a lot and sweat? Do I need more salt then?

Endurance athletes who sweat for hours may need to replenish electrolytes, including sodium. However, for most people enjoying moderate exercise like walking, yoga, or light cardio, your daily diet provides more than enough sodium to cover any losses.

What is the single most important thing I can do for weight loss over 50?

Focus on protein and fiber. These two nutrients are a powerhouse combination for satiety (feeling full), muscle maintenance, and metabolic health. When you're satisfied by your meals, you're far less likely to reach for unhealthy snacks.
