Why We Need Salt

Good salt (ideally unrefined sea salt) is very important for us. In this informative Podcast below (The Salt Fix), a cardiovascular research scientist and doctor of pharmacy at Saint Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute in Kansas City, Missouri, and the associate editor of British Medical Journal’s (BMJ) Open Heart discusses the need for salt.

What salt should you use you ask? I found the "Real Salt" to be of great quality. It is salt exactly the way nature made it. Nothing added, nothing removed. REAL SALT.

Salt (unrefined natural sea salt) is important for many biological processes:

• Being a major component of your blood plasma, lymphatic fluid, extracellular fluid, and even amniotic fluid
• Carrying nutrients into and out of your cells
• Helping the lining of your blood vessels to regulate blood pressure
• Helping you regulate propagation of nerve impulses
• Helping your brain send communication signals to your muscles, so that you can move on demand via sodium-potassium ion exchange.
