Benefits of sea salt

[Guest guest]

Sea salt contains less sodium than table salt and Kosher salt contains even

less, (I checked all my boxes of salt to prove it to myself),but I thought this

was an interesting article about salt, even though it is on a commercial site.

While I was shopping today, I was standing in front of the salt and met someone

who stopped to talk and I shared my newfound information about how our bodies

use salt with them. Ready? Go to the website and read the rest of the story.

" Salt has earned a bad reputation in recent years, so it comes as quite a

surprise to hear this seasoning is actually necessary for good health. In fact,

every cell in the body requires salt to function. Salt is needed for countless

functions in the body, including everything from blood sugar regulation to bone

density to circulatory health. And because we lose salt constantly during the

day through urine and perspiration, it`s important that we replenish it. It's

impossible to try and replace lost sodium with commercial table salt because it

is refined and incomplete. Instead, include a high-quality unrefined sea salt in

your diet to replenish the sodium, trace minerals and electrolytes your body

needs.

" Commercial salt is refined by drying at a heat in excess of 1,000 degrees which

destroys beneficial substances in salt. This heat also causes chemical

distortions that turn salt into sodium chloride, a substance that does no good

in the body. Table salt is full of additives, fluoride, anti-caking agents,

excessive amounts of potassium iodide and other poisons. Many versions of

commercial salt also contain aluminum derivatives, which are known to be highly

toxic. These additives can cause discoloration in salt, so bleaching agents are

then used to restore the desirable white color. It`s no wonder refined

commercial salt is causing so many health problems.

" Unrefined sea salt, naturally harvested and dried in the sun, contains a wealth

of trace minerals and electrolytes. Our bodies only need small amounts of these

nutrients, but they are absolutely vital for a variety of functions in the body.

They are key players in enzyme production as well as immune system, adrenal and

thyroid function. "
