PINK SALT!!!


At the Valencia Wellness Center, there was a product I was curious about... Premier Pink Salt.
What's the difference between that and regular salt? or sea salt?
So here's some reasons you should make the switch, besides the fact that it is an awesome conversation starter when people ask you to pass the salt at the kitchen table:

Premier Pink Salt is a blend of two premium, unprocessed sea salts from ancient, non-polluted sea beds. This natural, sun dried salt contains valuable trace minerals and sodium chloride. These minerals, undamaged by heat, retain their high energy, unaltered molecular structure which is ideal for helping to maintain the extracellular and intracellular fluid balance in the body. Not to mention ∫!!

Sodium from salt (unrefined) is the primary positive ion found in the blood and body fluids. Through function of the kidneys, by buffering the blood with a balance of positive or negative ions, sodium and potassium help to control acid/alkaline balance. The flow of sodium and potassium across the cell membranes helps to create an electrical charge that enables muscle contraction and nerve conduction. Sodium is also important in the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and is used in the transport of amino acids from the digestive tract into the blood.

Premier Pink Salt is free of flow or anti clump additives. Many salts are highly heated, have chemicals added or are refined which can damage its chemical properties and reduce its content of trace minerals. Commercial salt is typically heated to extremely high temperatures, over 1,0000 FÂș, to super-dry the salt so that it will pour easily and not clump. This super-heating deranges the molecular configurations of the minerals in the salt. Many researchers point out the toxic reaction of the body to commercial, highly heated salt. In contrast, natural unheated sea salt reacts favorably in the body, delivering many minerals. In addition, unlike most commercial sea salts, Premier Pink Salt is ground using nickel-free grinders, ensuring that no toxic metals will be present.


so it is pretty cool. and you can purchase it online, or, like I said at the Valencia Wellness Center. I'm sure some other health food stores offer it too. But now go forth in the new year! and fear no salt!
haha
sorry for he cheesy ending:D
