Friday, 9am – 3pm Salt - its benefits & more... by Herbmama There's been much talk about Hima- layan or pink salt as it's also coined. It should be used daily and contains 84 trace minerals!! The high quality sea salt contains only 60 & that's IF it's a good sea salt. As of late the sea salt is getting processed the same as the table salt w e all recognize - - adding worth- less harmful i n g r e d i e n t s , process out all the goodness, which leaves it one big toxic seasoning!! Sodium works in the body in the following way....water follows salt, meaning if you increase sodium in- take too much, water retention oc- curs as well. But at the same time a loss in sodium can result in pos- sible dehydration & extreme thirst. By consuming a good sea salt daily, it helps your body to balance your sodium-potassium ratio. These are 2 electrolytes that work together to ensure a proper fluid balance, including cell walls, blood plasma, extra cellular fluids & transmission of electrical signals throughout the body. It's also good to remember it helps to regulate blood volume and thus blood pressure. Since these salts are minimally pro- cessed, they are able to retain much of their natural mineral content. They contain so many electrolytes that help regulate your heart beat to allowing muscles to contract so you can move. It's essential for proper brain, muscle & nervous system functions. So too much isn't good as is too little. Talk about a delicate balance!! Too little salt can also have an im- pact on digestive health as well. Not enough can lead to insuffi- cient amounts of hydrochloric acid (HCL), so if you have low stomach acid, it can serious- ly throw off your digestive system. It contains chloride & that is the building blocks of stomach acid. Having enough stomach acid also helps our bodies to absorb vitamins, minerals & B12. Sea salt is produced by the evapo- ration of sea water, either by open- air solar process or a quicker vac- uum evaporation process. When you consume the sea salt(s) that are unrefined -- that's the salt that contains more of it's natural health properties. Also be sure it does not say "sodium chloride" as it's main ingredient, this means it just as re- fined as the processed table salt. As a result of 2 controlled group studies, results were found that the Himalayan salt is highly effective in helping to stabilize pH & oxidative stress in the body.
