Let's start with
the basics
◄ Minerals ►
Without the correct
balance
of minerals in our diet, we can eat food and vitamins until we are fit
to
burst and still have no energy and poor health. Minerals are required
to
catalyze nearly every metabolic chemical reaction in our bodies that
sustain
life. According to Dr. Linus Pauling (who lived to the ripe old age of
93)
over 90% of disease is caused or worsened by mineral deficiencies. We
require
large amounts of some minerals, while very tiny quantities of other
trace
minerals can make a vital difference.
The very most
basic mineral food source ▪ Salt ▪
"Ye are the salt
of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it
be salted?"
I have found that the simplest way to help maintain a correct ratio of
the
dozens of essential trace minerals is to use raw unrefined sea salt for
cooking
and seasoning. Regular table salt or even what is sold for "sea salt"
in
the grocery store is composed of better than 99.9%per cent pure Sodium
Chloride,
NaCl. The near absolute purity is advertised as being a "good thing".
All
those pretty white perfect little crystalline cubes. Do you realize
that
too much of a good thing, even water, can be toxic? Overconsumption of
one single type of pure molecule can lead to deficiencies of the other
naturally
occurring minerals. You can spend $15 to $30 a month to purchase
colloidal
minerals to correct your mineral balance or simply use real unrefined
sea
salt instead for much less money. I use a product called | Redmond RealSalt | in an easy to use little gadget just like a pepper
grinder
called a salt mill. It tastes wonderfully delicious and makes a great
gift
idea. Gourmet chefs use it for that perfect flavor and it's really good
for
you. It does cost a bit more than plain table salt, but it is far
cheaper
than poor health. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as
the
old saying goes. From the salt institute | All about salt |
