Salt is another area where there is a great deal of confusion. The kind of salt that we are accustomed to is processed and refined table salt.

Regular table salt is very bad for you. It is one of the white devils. Stay away from it. Table salt has been stripped of all of its beneficial properties until only the sodium chloride (NaCl) remains. Often times, a small percentage of harmful and other chemicals will be added to the salt. Table salt robs your body of its vital nutrient stores in order to process through it. Basically, refined table salt is like a poison to your body.

What Kind Of Salt Can I Use?
Salt in its natural form contains a variety of minerals which are beneficial to your body. There are two varieties of salts that can be beneficial for you:
1. Sea Salt
2. Himalayan Salt

Sea Salt contains a variety of beneficial nutrients. The amount and type of the nutrients contained in sea salt is dependent on it s source of origin. As with all other foods, the process through which sea salt is harvested will determine its nutritional benefit. The salt must be solar dried in order to keep its nutrient value intact. If it is subjected to high heats, such as in an oven, the delicate nutrients will be destroyed.

My Favorite Type of Salt
Himalayan Salt is my favorite type of salt. It has many benefits which are extremely beneficial for you:

• Himalayan Salt contains 84 of the nutritional elements we need. The highest elemental content of any salt.
• Himalayan Salt balances the pH in your body.
• Himalayan Salt contains no environmental pollutants.
• Himalayan Salt helps to regulate blood pressure.

I have listed just a few of the many benefits of Himalayan Salt. It is a bit more expensive than other salts, but it is well worth it. Basically, Himalayan Salt has beneficial nutrients that will be added to your body with nothing taken away.

Remember:
1. Stay away from table salt, it is like a poison to your body
2. Himalayan Salt and solar dried sea salt are good for you
