You know that commercial that asks you, “What’s in your wallet” Well, an equally important question is “What’s in your salt shaker?” Never thought about it? Most of us haven’t so you aren’t alone. But let’s take a look at what our bodies need and if table salt provides anything the body requires.

You know that commercial that asks you, “What’s in your wallet” Well, an equally important question is “What’s in your salt shaker?” Never thought about it? Most of us haven’t so you aren’t alone. But let’s take a look at what our bodies need and if table salt provides anything the body requires.
Most of us grab the container of salt off the shelf in the grocery store without even giving it a thought. We have used it all our lives. Salt is salt. Right? Wrong.
Some people grab the salt shaker and sprinkle salt copiously over their food before they’ve tasted it. Some taste and put more salt on it as a matter of habit rather than of taste.
So what?
Our regular table salt is mainly sodium chloride and not salt. It has been chemically cleaned in ovens so hot that the chemical structure has been changed and it can be harmful to our bodies. It should provide us with many of the minerals our bodies need for good functioning but the cleansing process has eliminated most of them.
The result of consuming common table salt is the formation of overly acidic edema, or excess fluid in the body tissue. That's why doctors tell us to avoid salt. What we’re eating instead of natural salt full of essential minerals is sodium chloride. In its attempt to regulate and eliminate the excess sodium chloride, the body produces excess uric acid and the end result may be the formation of new crystals that are deposited directly in the bones and joints. The short term result is swollen ankles, increased blood pressure and cellulite. The long term outcome? Different kinds of arthritis, gout and kidney and gall bladder stones may appear.
The good news is you don’t have to use this artificial, mineral-free salt. Natural products are available that enhance the flavor of your food and provide the needed minerals as well.
One natural salt product, Himalayan crystal salt (available online from phreshgreens.me) , originated from the sun-induced evaporation of the primeval sea at a time when the earth was a pristine ecosystem. 250 million years later, after intense heat and pressure from tectonic plate activity, the Himalayan Mountains were formed and the salt crystallized. It is the purest form of salt available on earth today and contains 84 natural elements essential to human life.
It has wonderful, gentle salty taste and also has a plethora of health benefits for the human body. At the top of the list of benefits is the restoration of the body’s natural pH balance. The human body has an acid-alkaline ratio called the PH or acid-base homeostasis – a balance between positively charged ions which are acid-forming and negatively charged ions, which are alkaline-forming.
When the pH levels (phreshgreens.me/phresh-articles/139-balancing) remain unbalanced for extended periods, the body is compromised without you being aware of it at the time. Years later the results of prolonged acidosis or alkalosis appear in the form of arthritis, chronic fatigue, diabetes, hormone imbalance, impaired immune system, osteoporosis, obesity and other chronic problems. The use of Himalayan crystal salt can help keep your pH in balance and help you avoid such serious health risks in later years.
Moreover, Himalayan crystal ( salt replenishes electrolytes in the body. Electrolytes are electrically charged and serve as a conductor of electrical impulses which are needed for biologic functions throughout the body. These electrolytes are not found in table salt.
Other benefits of Himalayan crystal salt include:
- stabilizing irregular heartbeats and regulation of blood pressure
- enhancement of nerve cell communication
- absorption of food particles through the intestinal tract
- balancing sugar levels in the blood
- clearing sinus congestion
- sleep regulation
- prevention of muscle cramps
- and so much more
With the economy in the tank most of us are rediscovering what's really important to us....family, friends, community and health. We're getting back to enjoying the simple things. Starting to live in balance can be as simple as the salt you use to flavor your food.
