The Crucial Role of the Salt in Our Health

Salt is vital for our health. Right now, you have around 250 gr. of

salt - about a cupful - working for keeping you alive. Without

enough of it, muscles won't contract, blood won't circulate, food

won't digest, and the heart won't beat.

Salt, the sodium chloride, is an essential part of the diet of

humans and animals and is a part of our fluids, such as blood,

sweat, and tears.

The two elements of salt - sodium and chloride - play a variety of

very important and crucial roles in our bodies as maintaining the

balance of our fluids, which carry oxygen and nutrients around our

bodies.

The sodium it contains is helping maintain the fluid in the blood

cells and enables the transmission of electrical impulses between

our brain, nerves and muscles. It is responsible for our taste,

smell and tactile senses and helps our muscles - including the

heart - to contract.

The chloride is essential to our food digestion process by providing

chloride for hydrochloric acid - an essential element of human

digestive fluid - and helps in preserving the acid-base balance in

our body. It plays an important role in absorbing potassium and

helping the blood to carry carbon dioxide from respiring tissues to

the lungs.

Salt is an essential element in our lives and our health. Salt is

widely and abundantly distributed in nature, dissolved in sea water,

salt lakes or in solid form as mineral halite that is the pure salt

and can be find in large deposits around the world. In history, the

salt has been used as money.

Today, researchers have rediscovered the salt benefits. They have

noticed that increased salt and water intake help people with

chronic fatigue syndrome. An important role it has in respiratory

diseases by its anti inflammatory, bactericide, mucokinetic and

hydrophilic properties, helping in cleaning and widening the airways

in all respiratory diseases.

The salt therapy is based on speleotherapy, which is therapy in the

conditions of the microclimate of salt mines. Being hard to reach

them, people have found the way to bring the salt mines benefits in

their homes with devices like Salin and Salt Pipe.

Some of the effects of the salt therapy on people with respiratory

diseases as asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis and allergies are:

* facilitates the phlegm expulsion and ventilation of lungs of

patients with chronic diseases of the lower respiratory tract

* the therapy reduces the total IgE level and improves the non-

specific and immunological response of the organism

* the relaxing effect of salt therapy on the nervous system makes it

suitable for persons with sleep disorders, stress, etc. and the

improvement of well-being and sleep is observed already after few

days of use.

* in patients with allergic and vasomotor rhinitis and purulent

sinusitis improves breathing through the nose and the drainage of

the sinuses

* reduces snoring by clearing the airway passages in the

oropharyngeal region

* facilitates an easier breathing by cleaning the airways and

improving the quality of the indoor air by killing bacteria and

mold.
