Is the salt on your dining table destroying you and your loved ones’ health?
Many people are unaware that common table salt contains chemicals and even sugar. Salt is necessary but can be dangerous if taken in this chemical form.
Table salt is composed of 97.5% sodium chloride and 2.5% chemicals like iodine and absorbents, and sugar. Common salt is dried at more than 1,200° Fahrenheit, a process which zaps many of the natural chemical structures.
The table and cooking salt found in most homes, restaurants, and processed foods is void of nutritional value, lacking beneficial trace minerals. Processing salt turns it into sodium chloride, an unnatural salt the human body actually sees as a toxic invader!
The body cannot dispose of it in a natural, healthy way which can lead to irritation of the tissues, water retention and high blood pressure.
Processed salt crystals are also energetically dead, as their crystals are completely isolated from one another. For the body to metabolize chemical table salt, it must waste tremendous amounts of energy to keep the body at optimum fluid balance. This creates a burden on the elimination systems in the body. Water is removed from other cells in an attempt to neutralize the unnatural sodium chloride.
Studies show that for each gram of table salt, your system cannot process, your body will use over twenty times the amount of cellular water to neutralize the sodium chloride in chemically treated salt.
This can lead to cellulite, rheumatism, arthritis, gout, as well as kidney and gallbladder stones. The average American consumes 5,000 mg of sodium chloride a day, the issue is serious and often not addressed.
But the good news is, a far superior alternative is waiting for you… in the Himalayas
Himalayan salt, also known as pink salt, is considered a superior salt in Ayurveda. Not only does it look pretty, but it has been said to be far healthier than traditional iodized salt.
Himalayan salt is millions of years old and pure, untouched by many of the toxins and pollutants that pervade other forms of ocean salt.
Known in the Himalayas as “white gold,” Himalayan crystal salt contains the same 84 natural minerals and elements found in the human body. This form of salt has also been maturing over the past 250 million years under intense tectonic pressure, creating an environment of zero exposure to toxins and impurities.
Himalayan salt’s unique cellular structure allows it to store vibrational energy. Its minerals exist in a colloidal form, meaning that they are tiny enough for our cells to easily absorb.
The health benefits of using natural Himalayan crystal salt may include:
- Controlling the water levels within the body, regulating them for proper functioning
- Promoting stable pH balance in the cells, including the brain
- Encouraging excellent blood sugar health
- Aiding in reducing the common signs of aging
- Promoting cellular hydroelectric energy creation
- Aiding vascular health
- Supporting healthy respiratory function
- Lowering incidence of sinus problems, and promoting overall sinus health
- Reducing cramps
- Increasing bone strength
- Naturally promoting healthy sleep patterns
- Creating a healthy libido
- Circulator support
- Promoting kidney and gallbladder health
As you can see, choosing Himalayan salt can make a tremendous impact on your health and wellbeing. Are you ready to make the switch?
