Why Consume Sea Salt?

There are four vital substances needed for survival in the human body.   Oxygen, water, sodium, and potassium.   Sodium is essential to life and that’s why we crave it. 

The average adult carries approximately 16g of sodium in their blood in comparison to only 5g of sugar.   However, most people are consuming too much sugar and trying to avoid sodium as promoted by current healthcare practices.   

Salt is one of the cheapest and most effective supplements you can add to your healthcare regime.

BENEFITS OF SALT INCULDE:

HYDRATION:  sodium balances all fluids inside and outside the cells in your body ensuring that your cells stay hydrated and your tissues and organs function properly.

ELECTROLYTES:  sodium is the main electrolyte alongside chloride and much smaller amounts of potassium and magnesium.  Sodium chloride represent 90% of the electrolytes in your body.

NERVE FUNCTION:  sodium is essential as the electrolyte that generates electrical impulses in your nervous system.   This is what turns cells on and off allowing your brain and nerves to communicate.MUSCLE FUNCTION:  sodium and potassium control all muscle contraction and relaxation.

DETOXIFICATION:  sodium has anti-microbial activity.  Along with its ability to improve digestion and regulate water balance, it plays a critical role in detoxification. 

MINERALS:  sodium from the sea contains 80-90 microminerals necessary for life.  Minerals represent 60 of the 90 essential nutrients needed by the human body for proper functioning.

SODIUM DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS:  increased heart rate, excessive sweating, increased triglycerides, increase insulin resistance, stiff arteries, high blood pressure or low blood volume, muscle spasms and cramping, increased fatigue, dizziness.
