What About Salt?
Many people have been told not to consume salt because of various health issues. This is true. Table salt contains only two minerals sodium and chloride. Manufacturers sell the other minerals separately which naturally occur in real salt for various other products. To make matters worse they bleach the sodium chloride to get rid of the smell and make it pure white.
The best type of salt for human and animal consumption is sea salt. Sea Salt contains 84 minerals which are all essential for human and animal health.
Lack of adequate salt intake causes many problems. Salt balances the water content of every cell. Having too much water makes us puffy and having too little means we are dehydrated. Sea Salt causes each cell to hold only the amount of water it needs to maintain health. There is salt water surrounding each cell as well. The balance between the two is very important.
Allowing our bodies to get dehydrated is much more dangerous than you might think. Most American are chronically dehydrated. According to Dr. Batmanghelidj most diseases can be linked to some form of dehydration. These “diseases” are actually associated with too little water and sea salt. Asthma, arthritis, high blood pressure, edema, and allergies. You can read all about his research at www.watercure2.org. He offers the way to find out just how much water and salt you need each day for your body. Everyone is different. If you need some help with this, call or come by Crucial Health and we can walk you through it.
Now that Summer is here and the temperatures are blazing, be sure to drink plenty of water and add a pinch Sea Salt to every glass. It doesn’t take much. The rule-of-thumb is 1/4 teaspoon per quart of water. It will not change the taste of the water much at all and you will soon be seeing the benefits of drinking water this way. It is much better for you than sport drinks too. No sugar is needed, but if you like it sweetened use the diabetic safe sweeteners stevia or xylitol.
