Sea Salt

Salt obtained from solar evaporation of sea water is entirely different from modern refined salt, and it contains a variety of minerals that play a role in keeping the body’s electrolytes in a healthy balance.

The common table salt we use today is primarily kiln-dried sodium chloride with anti-caking agents added.  Trace minerals, as well as calcium, magnesium and potassium salts are removed in processing.

Kiln-drying involves scorching salt at high heat to remove moisture.  This refining process creates a product that is unnatural and hard on the body.  It is the true culprit that contributes to high blood pressure, heart trouble, kidney disease and eczema, among other problems.

Sodium chloride, more commonly known as salt, represents an essential element of life, being one of the elements the human body cannot do without.  A certain amount of salt must be incorporated daily in our diet, not only because it is very rapidly eliminated by our organism and also because it enhances the taste of our food, but above all because the identification of salty taste triggers the production of the saliva and the gastric juices, essential for food digestion.

In addition, the presence of sodium and chlorine is essential in the digestive processes, since they are both present in the gastric juices, in the saliva, in the pancreatic juice and in the bile. The sodium and the chlorine act then at different levels, along the digestive track, since sodium contributes to the absorption of glucides, while chlorine, in the form of hydrochloric acid, is essential for the digestion of solids.
