Water and Salt Regulate Your Body Temperature.

You may not always be thinking about water and salt; however, your body thinks of it. All your cells are screaming for it because your body is 70% water, and your brain contains more water. On average, you have about 8 to 10 tablespoons of salt within you! Water and salt form the basis of blood and lymph, lubricates joints and organs, regulates body temperature, preserves muscles and keeps your skin looking young. Adequately, maintain yourself, by making sure you get the right amount of oxygen, water, salt, potassium, exercise and food. No one can live without these!

When you submerge a prune in water, its plumpness expands, and it is divine and tasty. Your body also requires lots of water to maintain health because it eliminates 2.5 to 4 quarts of water a day through breathing, perspiration and excretion. Your body harbors approximately 50 quarts of water in total. When your water reserves are not adequately replenished throughout the day you quickly begin to suffer from the symptoms of dehydration. You may suddenly get a headache or feel hungry or thirsty. It is not advisable to wait until you feel eager to get a drink of water because your organs will have already begun to suffer unnecessary stress and started harboring water, creating edema.

Water and salt are your substance! Drink many glasses of water every day for optimal health.

The Effects of Dehydration Are Serious!

Dehydration causes acne, constipation, foul breath, constant sneezing, nose bleeds, dry and itchy skin, headaches, dried coughs and adult-onset diabetes. It is the root of serious degenerative diseases like cardiovascular problems, lower-back pain, ulcers, pancreatitis, adrenal fatigue, arthritis, asthma, high-blood pressure and digestive problems. You’ll wither and die if you don’t drink enough water, because your blood holds up to 83% water, while your bones are 22%, water and muscles are 75% water. Drinking water does cure heartburn.

You need water to flush toxins from your body to enjoy a healthy kick! If your urine is dark yellow, brown or orange, you are becoming dehydrated. It’s better if the color of your urine is lighter, yellow or clear. Furthermore, your stools should also be soft and light brown in color. If you have an arduous time in passing bowls that are odorous, then you seriously need more water.

Constipation causes unusually small amounts of fecal toxic poisoning to reenter your blood stream by releasing toxins and gases, that destroy all organs and surrounding tissue. This havoc pollutes your blood, preventing it from removing your cell’s wastes. Your intelligent body protects you by storing these toxic poisons in fat cells, though morbid thoughts and depression set in.

Dehydration is a grave condition because it seriously stresses all your organ systems and sets you up for the manifestation of disease. A natural cure is to drink more water throughout the day and not wait until you are thirsty. Drink at least half your body weight in ounces. Drink more water if you’re involved in moderate or vigorous exercise! Every six ounces of caffeine or alcoholic drink will cause dehydration. Since they’re considered diuretics. You’ll need to increase the amount of water you drink to an additional ten to twelve ounces to feel re-hydrated after a cup of coffee or alcohol.

Opt to Drink Eight to Ten Glasses of Water a Day or More with Mineral Salt

Nothing destroys life faster than a lack of water consumption. It is necessary to drink at least eight to ten glasses of water daily. Next to oxygen, water is the lifeblood of your body.

Every cell of your body requires water, and it desperately needs real salt to push the water into your cells. Understand not all salts are equal today. Regular table salt sold in the supermarkets creates oxidative stress, because they’re extremely bleached, and also pumped with anti-caking agents like aluminum. Aluminum toxicity does cause Alzheimer’s disease. Cheap table salt is also robbed of all its essential minerals, and essence of life. It does not create equilibrium throughout your body, except cause confusion and disease instead. So, it’s better to avoid such salts. Make sure you don’t oversalt.

Why would you take in so much salt? Unless you are craving it for some reason or another! This can cause high blood pressure and a headache for the doctor that is treating you, because you can easily cure this ailment by drinking more water with a little less salt. The high blood pressure medications simply cause you to urinate when you don’t feel thirsty anymore. This also causes dizziness. Now, who wants to fall and loose their balance. No one right! This has been my experience based on the studies I have done regarding High Blood Pressure. Therefore, carry one with caution.

Salt Helps You Breathe too

Salt is the catalyst that forces the water into your cells. Salt is also the natural environment outside your cells and water is the natural environment inside your cells. Salt acts as the electrical component that keeps your organs functioning at peak efficiency! Without water and salt, you wouldn’t be able to correctly digest your food or have a bowl movement, nor have the energy to breathe at all.

Your Body’s Cry for Water

Dr. Batmanghelidj states in his book “Your Body’s Many Cries for Water;” water and salt cures and prevents asthma. You can reverse adult-onset-diabetes in its’ early stages by consuming more water with the right salt. The salt you should be eating is not the common table salt; it’s rather organic sea salt that is composed of minerals in the right proportion.

You Can’t Live Without Salt!

Water and salt are such a pure and natural combination, yet extremely critical in sustaining all your life processes. You can’t live without it!

Water and salt are essential to your brain cells. Salt extracts excess acidity from your brain cells and from the cells in your body. Water and salt balance the sugar levels in your blood. It’s used as a powerhouse in generating the energy needed by your cells.

Salt is the perfect catalyst that makes you absorb the nutrients in food through your intestinal tract. Salt is also vital for the clearance of mucus, and oppressive phlegm. Salt makes the structure of your bone’s firm, prevents muscle cramps and regulates your sleep, including spicing up your libido and preventing varicose veins. Eating enough salt will reduce a double chin if you have an unsightly one.

Eat Celtic Sea Salt Every Day

Conventional medicine downgrades the need for water and salt in lieu of pushing medication to treat symptoms of dehydration and salt distress. When an ordinary cure would be to increase water intake with unrefined sea salt in food.

This is What Happens To The Body When You Eat Pink Himalayan

May 9, 2017 By Morning Health Team 8 Comments

Imagine this. You are sitting down for an awesome family feast. The best china, silk cloth, crystal glasses – it is all there. Yes, there is fresh apple-cinnamon-ginger juice in the glasses. There are baked, steam-cooked and sautéed veggies all over the table. Suddenly, someone grabs the salt and yells out, “Why is your salt pink?”

Be nice and explain to everyone that it is Himalayan salt, and that it is super-healthy.

Origin

The Himalayan mountain range goes across Asia, and passes through China, Nepal, Myanmar, Pakistan, Bhutan, Afghanistan, and India. People usually associate the Himalayans with Mount Everest, or the highest peak on the planet, but there is something even more exclusive about it – the Himalayan salt.

Hundreds of millions years ago crystallized sea salt beds were covered with lava. Today, they lie deep in the Himalayans.

The salt was not only preserved in a pristine environment surrounded with snow and ice, but the lava also protected it from pollution. This is why Himalayan Pink Salt is considered to be the purest salt out there. Today it is hand-mined from the mountains and later sold on the market.

Why is it pink?

Its pink color indicates that Himalayan salt is loaded with minerals and energy-rich iron.

Health Benefits

Same as the vitamins and minerals are packed with fruits and veggies, minerals found in this pink salt also work in synergy.

Synergy is an interaction of multiple elements in a certain system that produces an effect that is different from the other effects.

Iodine – Natural salts are loaded with iodine, and there is no need for it to be additionally added in.

Less sodium per serving – Himalayan salt has the same components as table salt, but as its crystals are larger than those of refined salt, this salt has less sodium per 1/4 t serving. This is because the sea salt flakes take up less room in a teaspoon when compared to the refined table salt.

Has 80+ minerals and elements

Himalayan salt consists of mineral packed crystals that are formed naturally within the earth, and they are made up of 85.62% sodium chloride and 14.38% trace minerals such as sulphate, magnesium, calcium, potassium, bicarbonate, bromide, borate, strontium, and fluoride (in descending order of quantity).

Thanks to its rich mineral content, Himalayan salt can:

  • Balance electrolytes
  • Hydrate
  • Balance water content inside and outside cells
  • Balance pH values and reduce acid reflux
  • Relieve muscle cramps
  • Boost metabolism
  • Improve bone structure
  • Decrease blood pressure
  • Stimulate the absorption of nutrients
  • Prevent goiters
  • Stimulate circulation
  • Dissolve and eliminate toxins

Health experts believe that Himalayan salt can increase libido, prevent premature aging, eliminate heavy metals from the body.

Himalayan vs. Sea salt

Although pink salt comes from the mountains, it is actually sea salt. Salt comes from salted water – an ocean or salt-water lake. But, remember, Himalayan salt is the purest kind of sea salt.

What makes table salt inferior?

Producers strip all the minerals of the commercial salt, besides sodium and chloride, but refined salt is also cleaned, bleached and exposed to extremely high temperatures.

Table salt contains anti-caking agents that prevent it from mixing with the water in the salt containers. Anti-caking agents also prevent the salt from dissolving in the human body, so the salt builds up in your organs and tissues, resulting in severe health conditions.

Producers also add synthetic iodine, and the body cannot digest it properly.

Additives make up 2% of table salt.

Himalayan salt – Uses

Cooking and curing – Always use pre-ground salt or grinders like any other kind of salt.

Salt Slabs – Slabs will impart a better taste and mineral content. Chilled: use fruits, sushi, veggies, or cheese as a decoration. Frozen: cold delicious desserts and sorbets. Heated: slabs can be used to sear veggies, shrimp, fish fillets, thinly sliced beef and you can even fry eggs. Dense salt blocks conduct heat amazingly.

What is even better, Himalayan salt is a natural anti-microbial product, and the clean up requires a simple scrub or rinse.

Decoration – Sprinkle salt in containers, use it as decor crystals or sprinkle it on your food.

Bathing – Enjoy a detoxifying Himalayan salt bath. Its nutrients will stimulate your circulation and soothe sore muscles. Himalayan salt contains 80+ nourishing and skin-friendly minerals, so this bath will provide a healing and amazingly therapeutic experience for both body and soul.

Potpourri Holders and Essential Oil Diffusers – On-line sites offer gorgeous home décor with pink salt as crystal rocks.

Air purification – You can also find crystal rock lamps on-line.

Hopefully, now none of your guests will be surprised of your salt’s color.

Low-Sodium Diet May Not Always Lower Blood Pressure

May 9, 2017 By Morning Health Team 2 Comments

Image result for salt

Are you one of the many Americans that have been told they have high blood pressure? You’re not alone, as according to the CDC, 75 million American adults (nearly 25% of the entire US population) have high blood pressure. High blood pressure increases the risks of heart disease and strokes, the number 1 and 3 top causes of deaths in America. This is why high blood pressure is called the ‘silent killer’. It also costs an estimated $46 billion a year in medical expenses which includes doctor visits, medications, hospital and other healthcare in addition to days missed at work.

As your heart pumps blood through your arteries, it has a force that is exerted against the walls of the arteries. It’s this force that doctors and nurses measure. That pressure in your arteries rises and lowers at certain times of the day. It also increases with physical exertion. There are two pressures measured, one when the heart beats (systolic) and the other when the heart relaxes between beats (diastolic).

Most medical experts consider blood pressures ranging from 90/60 to 120/80 as normal blood pressure. Pressures measuring just over 120/80 to 140/90 are considered pre-high blood pressure and anything over 140/90 is considered high blood pressure. Under normal circumstances, it’s not unusual to see high blood pressure readings after exercising or working hard, but if it stays high, then it’s something to worry about.

I’ll confess that I have been diagnosed as having high blood pressure, but was told that it is probably due to my being overweight and having too much salt or sodium in my diet. Many years ago, when I lived in Arizona and worked outside in the hot summer sun, I cut back on my sodium intake because my dad was told he had high blood pressure and I took after him in many ways. However, I ended up getting sick and nauseous a lot and a doctor told me that I had cut too much sodium out of my diet.

Now I have high blood pressure and have been told to cut back on the sodium. After swearing I would never be one of those health nut label readers, I find that I now read labels on most food items. I watch for salt, sugars and fats, mostly. Yes, I have been cutting back on my sodium to help keep my blood pressure lower.

But is that really necessary? Does a low-sodium diet always help lower high blood pressure?

If you are like me and have been told to watch your sodium intake because of high blood pressure, you may be interested in this:

“A new study that followed more than 2,600 men and women for 16 years found that consuming less sodium wasn’t associated with lower blood pressure. The new findings call into question the sodium limits recommended by the current Dietary Guidelines for Americans.”

Dr. Lynn Moore, DSc, Associate Professor of Medicine at Boston University School of Medicine, who led that study, stated:

“We saw no evidence that a diet lower in sodium had any long-term beneficial effects on blood pressure. Our findings add to growing evidence that current recommendations for sodium intake may be misguided.”

“Our new results support these other studies that have questioned the wisdom of low dietary sodium intakes in the general population.” 

One interesting thing the study also revealed was:

“The researchers also found that people in the study who had higher intakes of potassium, calcium and magnesium exhibited lower blood pressure over the long term. In Framingham, people with higher combined intakes of sodium (3,717 milligrams per day on average) and potassium (3,211 milligrams per day on average) had the lowest blood pressure.”

Before you run out and grab the salt shaker and begin sprinkling your food or diving into a bag of potato chips or popcorn, please do check with your doctor. Everybody’s system is different and what works for one person may not work for another. One way or another, if you have high blood pressure, try to lose extra weight if you are overweight and take whatever medication your doctor prescribes.
