What does salt do to the body?

What goes into nature’s most common treasures, like salt? This natural mineral comes straight from the earth, formed into crystals from a combination of sodium and chloride. We can collect salt when seawater becomes trapped, If the conditions are right then the water will evaporate and leave the salt crystals behind.

Sodium, a natural source of salt holds vital nutrients that are important in maintaining optimal wellness. First, salt provides key minerals like sulphur, calcium, sodium, magnesium, silicon, boron, potassium, bromine and strontium. With its rich mineral content, salt can help with weight loss, reduce asthma symptoms, improve blood sugar levels and regulate heart health.

However, be aware that not all salts contain these great properties. Table salt, for example, is highly processed and bleached before it makes its way into that little glass bottle. Unfortunately, during mass production, manufacturers strip it from anything good for your health. The result is a product that has no resemblance to its original form and it can even harm your health. When doctors warn against consuming too much salt, table salt is what they are referring to.
