Sea Salt that is!
Salt has a bad reputation. But as we learned in last week's post, not all salt is created equal. While the processed table salt has been shown to have harmful effects, natural Sea Salt (treated the right way), actually has some stunning health benefits. Here is a quick look at 10 good ones:
1. It actually helps in stabilizing abnormal heartbeats which is contrary to the delusion that it causes high blood pressure. In fact, sea salt in conjunction with water and in the right proportion, is essential for the regulation of blood pressure.
2. Before sleeping, if taken with warm water, it can help you sleep deeper and longer!
3. It can help clear up catarrh and sinus and bronchial congestion.
4. It helps maintain the electrolytes in the body which are essential for proper muscle function.
5. It avoids water retention in the body.
6. Sea salt supplies essential minerals directly to our cells to enhance and improve the body's immune system and increases resistance against infections and bacterial diseases.
7. It wards off acidity by eliminating unwanted sodium deposits in the body.
8. Sea salt helps in food absorption from the intestinal tract and maintains the level of sugar in the blood.
9. It can help clear mucus and phlegm, making it helpful for asthma and cystic fibrosis.
10. Sea salt supplies essential nutrients to the muscles.
