If it's salts from fertilizer, you can 'flush' the plant by watering with clean water several times, letting the water come out the drainage holes.

I don't grow this one, but I know with other palms older leaves will die and fall off eventually, so it could be that. If you can post a picture, someone here can probably tell you whether it's natural or whether it's overwatering which is another common cause of yellowing leaves. I'd check the soil with your finger--if it's feeling really wet then you've probably been watering it too much.
