Salt For Health
Salt is essential for life — you cannot live without it. However, most people simply don’t realize that there are enormous differences between the standard, refined table and cooking salt most of us are accustomed to using and natural health-promoting salt.
These differences can have a major impact on your health.
If you want your body to function properly, you need holistic salt complete with all-natural elements. Today’s common table salt has nothing in common with natural salt.
Your table salt is actually 97.5% sodium chloride and 2.5% chemicals such as moisture absorbents, and iodine. Dried at over 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, the excessive heat alters the natural chemical structure of the salt.
But not all salt is bad, in fact salt that comes from nature, such as sea salt and Himalayan pink salt are in fact extremely health promoting. They are also fairly cheap compared to other “health products” and well worth the buy.
Here are just 13 Amazing Benefits
1. Regulating the water content throughout your body
2. Promoting healthy pH balance in your cells, particularly your brain cells
3. Promoting blood sugar health and helping to reduce the signs of aging
4. Assisting in the generation of hydroelectric energy in cells in your body
5. Absorption of food particles through your intestinal tract
6. Supporting respiratory health
7. Promoting sinus health
8. Prevention of muscle cramps
9. Promoting bone strength
10. Regulating your sleep — it naturally promotes sleep
11. Supporting your libido
12. Promoting vascular health
13. In conjunction with water, it is actually essential for the regulation of your blood pressure

The MED (minimal effective dose) to salt intake for health:
Upon waking up drink a glass of purified water with lemon juice and a crack of natural salt. This balances your cortisol levels (the hormone that wakes you up) and will give you a surprising amount of natural energy throughout the day. This Ayurvedic rituals may even turn you into an early riser and change how you face the day.
