Healthy Salt

SALT To Make You Thrive and ComeAlive

Salt is one of those flavours’ that we all love to taste, yet in most cases it isn’t said to promote good health. In fact it’s commonly said that we need to hold back on consuming too much of it. Of course these kinds of statements are fairly well known from coming from the mass media and being inaccurate and far too general.

Salt is an alkaline mineral that is essential for good health, but it is at this point that I stress that natural salt is healthy and NOT traditional table salt. Here’s the inside scoop.

Traditional Table Salt

This is definitely worth avoiding completely. WHY? Well, firstly it is processed. This is how: it is dried by heating it to over 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, meaning all the compounds and structures of its natural form are destroyed or altered. Then chemicals are added to the salt, most of which are moisture absorbents like iodine. This means that when you consume this salt, your body recognizes it as a foreign material and attempts to eliminate it, but before it does it needs to break it down. This becomes a huge burden on the elimination systems of the body using up a huge amount of energy. In order to break it down your body will isolate the excess salt and expose it to water molecules, which must surround the sodium chloride. The water molecules then separate the sodium and the chloride ions apart before elimination can take place… Ever felt thirsty after having a salty meal – now you know why!!!

Basically this salt is detrimental to the body and often contains other dangerous preservatives, like Calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, and aluminum hydroxide. Aluminum alloy has some links to Alzheimer's disease. Feel free to examine what the others do, but basically it’s not nice.

TIP: Stay the hell away from this salt

Sea Salt

Ok, so it’s a step in the right direction, but it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Yes, it was natural but it was also processed before it got to you. Bad news is our seas are a dumping ground and have become highly polluted, meaning chemicals like mercury, PCBs and dioxin are in the water. So this means the salt must be refined in order to make it safe. So the truth is today's sea salt isn't that healthy.

TIP: Stay away from this salt too.

So what the hell do you eat with your food, because salt is essential for health. Well that’s easy, we need to consume it in its natural form. It’s rare, but you can find it in most supermarkets or health food stores now. The first is

Himalayan Rock Salt

This is a pink salt and it’s come from the heart of the Himalayas where there lies huge beds of salt, which are over 250 million years old. Himalayan Rock Salt has matured under extreme tectonic pressure, far away from exposure to impurities. It has a unique structure and stores vibrational energy, minerals and trace elements that the body can easily absorb and use. It promotes a healthy balance and doesn’t contribute to high blood pressure like typical table salt.

Celtic Sea Salt

Ok, I know I said no sea salt, but here is an exception to the rule and that is Celtic Sea Salt. This is one that is from a clean source and is heated at very low temperatures in order to pre-serve the trace elements within it. Celtic sea salt contains mineral-rich brine, or "Mother Liquor," that has been traditionally used for centuries as a health elixir.

But what does it all mean? Well lets cut to the chase this is how these good salts preserve our wellbeing and serve us instead of depleting us. Firstly, both of these salts contain the 84 trace minerals found in the human body, more importantly they are bio available ultimately allowing us to achieve homeostasis in the body. Here’s more about what healthy salt provides… It

1. Regulates the water content throughout your body.

2. Promotes a healthy pH balance in our cells, particularly in our brain cells.

3. Promotes blood sugar health helping to reduce the signs of aging.

4. Assists in the generation of hydroelectric energy in the cells of our body.

5. Helps to absorb food particles through the intestinal tract.

6. Supports respiratory health.

7. Promotes sinus health.

8. Prevents muscle cramping

9. Promotes bone strength.

10. Regulates sleep patterns.

11. Supporting libido.

12. Promotes vascular health.

13. In conjunction with water it is actually essential for the regulation of blood pressure.

So pretty good news all around SUPER TIP: Go buy some healthy salt TODAY and chuck the old crap away NOW:>) Stay healthy….
