All salts are NOT the same....

 All salts are NOT the same!

 Salt is a vital substance for maintaining your health. We constantly hear bad press about salt, and yes refined salt is extremely unhealthy, however your body needs natural salts to function properly.

"Isolated, synthetic, sodium chloride" (E.g. Table salt) however, with none of the valuable minerals and trace elements, cannot be assimilated by the body, making it a poison to the system.  

The chemical and mineral compositions of our blood, and saline fluids have an amazing similarity to seawater. In our mother's womb, we are encased in a sack, filled with this saline fluid.

Seawater contains 84 mineral elements. These same 84 mineral elements are found in our bodies. Modern science has determined that 24 of these elements are essential for life, although many believe that a proper balance of all 84 elements in our bodies is necessary for good health. Whenever a dietary deficiency of any of these elements occurs, the cells in our bodies lose ions. A loss of ions in our cells causes imbalances, a breakdown of the cell regeneration and growth process, and loss of the cells themselves, which leads to many health issues.  Therefore, it is vital to your health to have the proper mineral balance in the saline and ion composition of your blood and these compositions must be maintained within very precise limits. Many illnesses and poor health conditions have been traced to a deficiency of minerals, ironically the minerals that are found in sea salt.

A case of Mother Nature knowing best - pure, natural salt such as Celtic Ocean Sea Salt has the perfect balance of minerals, nutrients and sodium chloride that we need for optimum health; your body can recognize and absorb these essential nutrients efficiently.

Celtic Sea Salt

Natural salt "Celtic Sea Salt" is so important, because our bodies need trace elements for proper function. These elements are usually not found in food or nutritional supplements in a form that the body can utilize.

'Natural sea salt' should not be confused with 'ordinary sea salts' - many of these still go through a considerable refinement process. Ordinary 'natural' sea salt is generally missing around 90% of the essential trace elements and minerals. Sea Salt simply means it comes from the ocean. Most of these products have still been exposed to artificial heat, destroying the valuable structure and are mechanically harvested using metallic pipes and bulldozers. If it's a nice clean white color, it has been refined.

All 82 of the essential trace elements needed by the body are found in natural unrefined celtic sea salt. In general, it helps to balance the entire body. Some of the benefits include the following:

1. Regulates heartbeat and blood pressure. Even though refined salt can cause high blood pressure, natural salt with adequate water intake can help to stabilize irregular heartbeats and normalize blood pressure. In other words, if you have low blood pressure, taking Celtic sea salt can help to raise it. If you have high blood pressure, it can help to lower it.
2. Eliminates mucus buildup. Not only does this salt help to eliminate existing mucus buildup, but it will help to prevent it. This benefit makes it very helpful for people with allergies, asthma, sinus issues, or bronchial congestion.
3. Improves brain function. Sea salt is vital to the health of nerve cells and their ability to communicate and process information. This salt also helps to extract excess acidity and toxins from brain cells.
4. Balances blood sugars. Celtic sea salt is especially helpful for diabetics because it helps to balance blood sugars.
5. Alkalizes the body. Excess acidity in the body is an underlying cause of many diseases. Salt is vital to the removal of excess acid wastes from the cells. In addition, mineral rich salt will help to maintain the optimal acid-alkaline balance.
6. Increases energy. Salt and water are the key elements for the generation of hydroelectric energy in the cells. When sodium and trace minerals are deficient in the body, fatigue will set in.
7. Provides electrolyte balance. Natural Celtic salt will help keep the electrolyte minerals in your body balanced, releasing excess sodium and water. For problems with water retention, gradual sea salt intake can help to release excess water stored in body tissue.
8. Builds immunity. Regular intake of natural sea salt and its highly absorptive minerals can give you a higher resistance to illness, infections, and disease. It can also help your body to heal faster after an injury or surgery.
9. Promotes restful sleep. The abundance of trace minerals in natural sea salt will have a calming effect on the entire nervous system. In addition, the proper ratio of water and salt consumption can help to prevent the need to urinate during the night.
10. Prevents muscle cramps. Muscle cramps are often caused by an electrolyte imbalance, especially a lack of sodium. Celtic sea salt provides these minerals in the correct proportion. Your body will take what it needs and get rid of the rest, as long as you are drinking enough water.

is that the amniotic fluid is salty!

  

Mineral supplementation

Many people take mineral supplements in an attempt to resolve mineral deficiencies in their diet. These synthetic supplements cannot offer the complete range of minerals you need and are always less effective than consuming minerals in their natural form. 

Read the label of your mineral supplement.  Does it contain 84 minerals? Probably not, therefore they are mineral deficient. Some mineral supplements have only 10 or 12 minerals in them. Many supplements provide minerals in forms that are not readily metabolized in your body, in addition, some minerals, especially certain trace minerals, can be harmful if taken artificially, in large doses.

This is why natural unrefined sea salt is so good for us! It comes in "precise dosages" that are perfectly matched to the mineral composition of our body.  The minerals are in an organic form that is completely absorbable by our body, and you cannot take an excess dosage since all salt in excess of your needs is naturally expelled from your body.

Do you crave salt?

Many people definitely use too much salt in their diets. AND crave it. This is because our bodies crave the 82 missing elements, which are absent from our table salt, and our bodies send the message to consume more salt. But the salt we are using doesn't have these 82 elements, so our bodies send the message out again "eat more salt!" So a destructive cycle exists which leads us to again consume too much sodium chloride, which due to the refining process, cannot be properly processed by our bodies. This then allows harmful salt deposits to form in our bodies, and in turn, great stress is placed on the overall function of our body as it struggles to operate without the other 82 missing elements.   Many of these 82 missing elements are only trace elements, and are therefore required, by our bodies, in only very small amounts.

Regular Salt

Commercial refined salt is not only stripped of all its minerals, besides sodium and chloride, but it is also heated at such high temperatures that the chemical structure of the salt changes.  It is also chemically cleaned and bleached and treated with anticaking agents which prevent salt from mixing with water in the salt container. However the anticaking agents perform the same function in the our bodies, so refined salt does not dissolve and combine with the water and fluids present in our system. Instead it builds up in our system, causing severe health problems.

Without getting too much further into this, I think its obvious that table salt should be avoided because it is, without a doubt, hazardous to your health.

How to Choose a Good Quality Sea Salt

Unbleached, Unwashed, Unrefined, No Additives

Contains 84 Essential Minerals

Contains no anti-caking agents

It is light gray in color and, on standing,
the color darkens slightly at the base of the container.

It is moist to the touch and retains its
moisture even when kept in cool storage for long periods.

It is formed of very small, precisely cubic crystals.
