so this guy is a handsome guy and well kept for his age, and this may be because of eating lots of salt???
because salt is a preservative??
o.k. I'll go with that, im giving salt licks away for Christmas this year !!
Lol! I've always been a salt junkie. When I was little and my mom couldn't find me, she'd go out to the pasture, and there I'd be, licking away at the salt licks.
You couldn't tempt me with chocolate, though. I was safe from suspicious-looking strangers with vans full of candy.

Salt, fermentation, ice and fat were the preservation modes before refrigerators. Obviously ice and cool areas were used as well when weather permitted. Don't mistake their lack of appliances for a lack of knowledge. Ancient peoples understood food, in my opinion, better than people understand it today. They would ferment foods to help keep longer, they would also sprout and soak foods because they knew that doing so would be a means to better digestion and nutrient absorption.
Salt and acid is also a way to slowly cook and preserve food. Nordics would take salt, cut open a fish and salt the fish for a few hours then eat it raw with the salt on it.
My grandad used to take some meat, salt it and hang it up on the outside of the barn, near the roof (surrounded by chicken¨wire to stop the birds getting at it) and leave it to dry. He posted some to us once and it was delicious! My mum salts raw fish every year for Christmas as well.
