Before we were born, we spent nine months in a bath of amniotic fluid resembling the primordial saltwater from which life arose.
No wonder the human body contains fluids closely resembling the composition of the ocean.
Sea salt contains nearly sixty trace minerals essential for the formation of vitamins, enzymes, and proteins that keep our bodies going.
Salt aids in general detoxification , and its alkaline quality helps balance the overly acidic pH environments that breed degenerative and cancerous conditions.
Common table salt, however is refined to nothing but sodium chloride and devoid of all other essential minerals.
I suggest using only unrefined sea salt such as that found in the salt beds of Brittany, which has a slightly gray hue.
Of course, salt is said to be used only in moderation, especially for those with hypertension.
It is also important to balance salt intake with potassium to ensure proper nerve and muscle function; potassium-rich foods include leafy vegetables, soy, whole grains, potatoes, bananas and most fruits.
