Iodized Table Salt Versus Celtic Sea Salt or Himalayan Pink Salt

It is amazing how our culture as lumped all salt’s as bad and have turned the typical table salt into a very bad thing! As far as I knew also, all salts were bad, but that is just NOT the case!

Refined white commercial iodized salt is bad, very bad stuff, however unrefined natural salt, like Celtic Sea Salt® and Pink Himalayan Salt are very good providing many health benefits. Sodium is an essential nutrient required by the body. Have you ever heard how ocean swims are great for you, it is the salt water! Have you heard of float tanks? They are salt/magnesium balanced and allow your body to naturally absorb those minerals we need. Here is the lowdown on Iodized table salt versus Celtic Sea Salt® and Pink Himalayan Salt.

Table Salt

Our typical table salt, yes, is very bad! It is so processed and other ingredients are added to it, like anti-clumping agents which contain high amounts of aluminum. Sugars are added as stabilizers and because of all the processing it takes out the natural magnesium which creates super high sodium. They bleach it and expose it to many toxic chemicals in order to get it to its final product. It also has ferrocyanide and bleach in it. This salt is highly concentrated with sodium chloride, totally unbalanced without it’s magnesium, toxic for your body and creates the blood pressure raising effect, it does not have enough magnesium to balance it.

Celtic Sea Salt®

GOOD stuff! Celtic Sea Salt® provides nutrients that naturally occur in salt beds. Trace amounts of calcium, magnesium potassium, iron and zinc. Celtic Sea Salt is not exposed to all the harsh processing and bleaching used to manufacture typical table salt that pulls out all the natural minerals our body needs and there are no additives. Celtic Sea Salt® is harvested from the ocean using natural elements, the sun, the wind and shallow clay iodizing ponds, a method passed down through the generations. What is so unique about this salt, is that it retains it’s moisture from the ocean no matter how you store it. It has a dewey feel to it.. It is like bringing the ocean to your kitchen..

Himalayan Pink Salt

Pink Himalayan Saltcontains 84 minerals and trace elements in ionic state and is a pink color and comes in little rocks that you can grind over your food or you can buy it in a fine grain. And is also mined from ancient sea beds, so it is pure from environmental toxins.
