What can you eat to regulate blood pressure, have more restful sleep and prevent over acidity in your body? The answer is Celtic Sea Salt.
Salt is essential for our survival. It regulates the water content in our body. Almost 75% of our body is made up of water. This water is not in it's pure form. It has salt dissolved in it to help the body function properly. Salt present in our cells and tissues helps in muscle contraction, proper conduction of nerve impulses and transport of nutrients into the cells. There has been so much bad press about salt, and yes table salt which is refined, is toxic and detrimental to your health. Your body needs pure natural salt. In fact without real salt and its minerals your body will encounter many problems.
There are many types of salt but I am going to talk about 3 types today.
Table Salt is the kind found in most processed foods and commonly used by most people for cooking. The kiln dried processing of table salt removes 82 of the 84 minerals leaving behind sodium and chloride. Anti- caking agents are added making it worse. Over consumption of table salt causes high blood pressure, accelerated aging cellular degeneration and heart muscles tire causing heart attacks. This is only a small list of what happens when or body is filled with the wrong kind of salt and deprived of real salt and minerals necessary for good health.
Sea Salt is salt coming directly from the sea and may be refined much like table salt. Many sea salts also contain anti-caking agents. There is also unrefined sea salt. I use to think just because it was sea salt it was healthier but discovered some sea salt is processed and most of the minerals and trace elements are removed. This type of sea salt isn't much better than regular table salt. What you want to get is unrefined sea salt. Unrefined sea salt is obtained by channeling sea water into man-made pools and is then left under the sun until all the water gets evaporated. The sea salt that remains is 98% sodium chloride with the remaining 2% made of other important minerals like iron, magnesium and other trace elements. Sea salt is not as salty as table salt due to the presence of many minerals. It is important to check and see if what you are buying is unrefined sea salt without the anti-caking agents.
Celtic Sea Salt is naturally moist salt harvested using the Celtic method of wooden rakes from the Atlantic seawater off the coast of Brittany, France. It is naturally air dried in clay ponds with wooden tools instead of metal which preserve the living enzymes. It contains all of the 84 beneficial live elements of sea water, without chemicals or preservatives.
Benefits of Minerals and Trace Elements Found in Celtic Sea SaltThe live minerals found in Celtic sea salt are iodine, iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, potassium and zinc. The nutrients in the 84 trace elements protect the body from the harshness of sodium chloride. The balance of magnesium ensures the sodium is quickly and completely eliminated from the body through the kidneys to prevent harm.
