Salty goodness – Why sea salt rocks!
Our bodies are made up of many lovely trace minerals that are crucial for our health.
The amazing thing is, that sea water contains 84 trace minerals – the exact same ones our bodies need! Isn’t Mother Nature just wondrous?
So why the does salt get such a bad rap?
It’s all in the processing. You see, the salt industry, until recently has been made up by a few big industrial companies who are really only interested in using the salt they produce for industrial purposes (93%). Salt for human consumption was an after thought.
The problem lies when the sea water is dried and refined to remove any impurities – this literally strips away 82 of the 84 trace minerals to leave only sodium and chloride. So your common table salt falls short big time!
An easy solution is to buy salt that comes from underground natural salt deposits that have not been tampered with. Brands such as Celtic sea salt (my fav) or Murray River Pink salt. Try to stay away from brands like Saxa.
If you are a stress bunny, feel anxious or burnt out make sure to add more good quality sea salt to your meals, this will help balance your bodies mineral content so you feel better!
Everyone can enjoy the health benefits of hand picked sea salt, it tastes sooo good.
