Guest guest Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Hello all, I ran across this article from Nutiva the makers of Organic Hemp and Flax on Celtic Sea Salt. -Contessa & Family Celtic sea salt is a wonderful, vital, and essential food for the body. What makes it so magical is that it's one of the few remaining foods that are not man-made. It's full of minerals that are naturally balanced. Sea salt has been harvested by the Celts as a healing and preserving nutrient for thousands of years. The salt is channeled into clay ponds where the sun and wind evaporate the water, leaving a mineral-rich brine. Salt farmers use wooden tools to speed the brine's drying and help the salt crystals to form. By contrast, everyday table salt is washed and boiled. It is then mixed with iodine, bleaching agents, and anti-caking agents to create a uniformly white, free-flowing product. Even many " sea salts " found in health food stores have been washed and boiled, which unfortunately removes minerals and trace elements. Sodium is an essential nutrient, a mineral that the body cannot manufacture itself and one that's required for life and good health. Human blood contains 0.9% sodium chloride, or salt. The renowned nutritionist Dr. Bernard Jensen said, " All cellular structures become alive through electrolytic activity. Life begins with electrolytes. Trace minerals carry the life force in our bodies more than any other substance. " Mineral salts create electrolytes. Electrolytes, which might accurately be called the spark of life, carry electrical currents throughout our bodies, sending messages to the cells. Electrolytes are also necessary for enzyme production. Enzymes are responsible for muscle function, hormone production, the breaking down of food, the absorption of nutrients, and more. It's a good idea to seek out unprocessed Celtic sea salt or other unrefined salts to incorporate into your daily diet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Hello : I appreciate the information on the Celtic Sea Salt. Other than what you mentioned, is the Celtic Sea Salt different than regular Sea Salt that is purchased at a health food store or other brands of sea salt? Would you have to purchase " Celtic " sea salt to make sure you are not purchasing a sea salt that has also been bleached and boiled? Thanks, Ashtarra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
