Salt has a pretty bad reputation. The American Heart Association has warned people against too much consumption because it is known to raise the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other fatal illnesses. However, not all salt is bad for you, just table salt. In fact, research has shown that sea salt, also known as or natural salt, has a number of health benefits. When natural salt is processed into table salt, it is heated up to 1200° Fahrenheit, completely altering the chemical composition and destroying all nutritional benefits. This is the kind of salt that the American Heart Association warns us about, but it is not the kind of salt that we use here at BumbleBar.
Believe it or not, real salt can help you stay hydrated, balance your sodium-potassium ratios, and help your body absorb more nutrients from the foods you eat. They are also a powerful source of electrolytes, like magnesium, and contain digestive enzyme enhancers, which help your body absorb more nutrients from the foods you eat.
There are two types of sea salt: Himalayan and Celtic. Specialized artisans rake the moist crystals in salt fields in Brittany, France to collect Celtic Sea Salt. It has been reported that it can help build immunity, increase energy, and promote restful sleep. Himalayan salt is said to be the purest salt on the planet, composed of dried remnants of the original, primal sea. Over the past 250 million years, Himalayan salt has been compressed under tectonic pressure to the point where it is untouched by toxins and other impurities. Regular consumption can promote healthy pH balance in the brain, and reduce signs of aging and even support libido. Those all sound like great reasons to switch to sea salt to me!
