People are SO afraid of salt these days — because most don’t know there’s a BIG difference between ‘bad’ salt and ‘good’ salt.
“Bad’ salt is the highly-refined, unhealthy ‘junk-food’ salt most often consumed today; while the ‘good’ salt or REAL salt is unadulterated and contains vital minerals (i.e. Celtic Sea Salt, Himalayan Pink Salt, etc.) and is actually GOOD for you!
So don’t avoid salt. Just make sure you’re eating healthful, *real* salt. To inspire you, here are just some of the many…
BENEFITS OF *REAL* SALT:
~ Salt is a strong natural antihistamine. It can be used to relieve asthma by putting it on the tongue after drinking a glass or two of water.
~ Salt is vital for extracting excess acidity from inside the cells, particularly the brain cells. If you don’t want Alzheimer’s disease, don’t go salt-free…
~ Salt is the best diuretic that exists.
~ Salt is vital for the kidneys to clear excess acidity and pass the acidity into the urine. Without sufficient salt in the body, the body will become more and more acidic.

~ Salt is essential for preserving the seratonin and melatonin levels in the brain. When water and salt perform their natural antioxidant duties and clear the toxic waste from the body, essential amino acids will not be sacrificed as chemical antioxidants.
