Natural salt is an important electrolyte, helping to maintain appropriate water levels in the body. Celtic sea salt contains the 82 trace minerals that the body needs for proper functioning in the forms easiest for the body to absorb. Some of the ways sea salt benefits the body include: regulating heartbeat and blood pressure, eliminating mucus buildup, improving brain function, balancing blood sugars, increasing energy, providing electrolyte balance, building immunity, promoting restful sleep, and preventing muscle cramps.
Most standard iodized table salts that you find in the grocery store are part of the vast amounts of salt that are produced for food and industrial purposes. After the salt is mined from the earth, it is cleaned, a process that removes the trace minerals, and anti-caking agents and iodine (in the form of potassium iodate or potassium iodide) are added. While the FDA considers these compounds safe, those of us who are trying to eliminate additives of all kinds from our diets may prefer natural salts such as Celtic and Pink Himilayan sea salts.
