Real Salt Is Good For You

The salt used in most homes and restaurants is very different from nature's original seasoning. Table salts are mined from the earth with bulldozers and heavy machinery, often resulting in a negative enviromental impact. The salt is then iodized, bleached and diluted with chemical anti-caking agents. After processing and kiln drying at temperatures in excess of 400 degrees, its natural state is changed and most trace minerals are lost. The result is a far cry from the natural sea salt our bodies were meant to ingest. Natural salt will not clog your system and is solar dried keeping the trace minerals in tact. It is not bleached so it maintains the original tan color with specks of darker brown which are the trace minerals. I personally have not ever had table salt in my home.. and I have been using sea salt since I was a child. The taste is remarkably better and stronger and because it is natural and unprocessed it does not contribute to the many health conditions that table salt does. The brand I use is called "Real Salt" and it can be purchasd at most health food stores. I suggest you test all salt before using, regardless of where you buy it. Mix a spoonful of salt in a glass of water overnight. If the salt collects on the bottom of the glass it has been processed. Natural salt dissolves. Salt that does not dissolve in water cannot disolve in your body. Therefore it has a tendency to collect in the bodys organs and tissues. Salt, in its original form, is good and natural; its the processing that's bad and unnatural.
