The danger of using regular "table salt" and a healthier alternative

Many people are unaware that refined table salt is dried at more than 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. When consumed, this highly-toxic (processed) salt, commonly found in most restaurants and processed foods, will lead to cellular inflammation; water retention and cardiovascular disease. Keep in mind, the human body can NOT properly digest commercially-produced table salt, which is 97.5% sodium chloride, other chemicals plus sugar. (pure crap!)

On the other hand, Himalayan crystal salt is a much better alternative for human consumption. Himalayan salt has matured over millions of years without many of the toxins and pollutants that pervade other forms of ocean salt. And, best of all, this salt has the same 84 natural minerals and elements found inside the human body.

Some of the health benefits of Himalayan crystal salt include: the control of water levels within the body; promotes a stable pH balance inside cells (including the brain); supports excellent blood sugar health; improves cardiorespiratory function; helps to reduce muscle cramps and increase bone strength.

The importance of iodine for healthy thyroid function

The thyroid gland synthesizes thyroid hormones and iodine is an essential trace mineral that is crucial in order for the thyroid to work properly. In order for your thyroid to manage metabolism, detoxification, growth and development - you must have a sufficient amount of iodine within the body.

A lack of iodine can lead to a swollen thyroid gland, fatigue, weakened immunity, metabolic disorders, weight gain and even anxiety or depression. If you or someone you love is suffering with iodine deficiency, try to find a qualified, healthcare provider to assist in the healing process.

If you're looking for iodine-rich foods - try: sea vegetables like arame, kombu or wakame; organic cranberries; organic yogurt; organic navy beans; organic strawberries; Himalayan crystal salt or potatoes - to name a few. And, of course, you may want to consider a good quality iodine supplement after talking to your healthcare provider.
