Salt is not only critical to your life, but it is one of the basic elements you need because your body is made from salt.
Every cell in your body is dependent on sodium because every cell in your body baths in salt water. Sodium is a brain nutrient, so natural forms of sodium are critical for brain health.
Without salt, you could not stay alive. Just taste a tear or your perspiration – it’s salty.
Your eyes and every cell in your body are saturated in saline.

Avoid The Wrong Kind Of Salt
The manufacturing of foods, pre-packaged foods, and fast foods use the “wrong kind of salt”, and this is the problem with eating salt today. It is important to watch your daily intake of adulterated sodium/salt, so monitor the type of salt you use when eating out or eating pre-packaged foods.
I recommend using Himalayan salt, Celtic salt, Dead Sea salt, or any natural sodium sources when salt is used because it has not been altered in a laboratory.
Your body is like a little, walking ocean – keep it bathed in natural sodium!
