5 Benefits of Sea Salt

Sea salt extracted unprocessed from natural seawater is unlike table salt. It’s not iodized but produced by evaporating and filtering salty waters of lakes and oceans. A small sprinkling on dishes not only enhances flavor but also adds valuable, health-giving nutrients capable of improving different aspects of the body. Here are 5 benefits of sea salt.

Immune System Function

Sea salt’s natural alkalinity enables it to keep bacterial and viral infections in check. The essential minerals, such as zinc, iron, phosphorus, manganese, potassium, and iodine increase body immunity.

Heart Function

As sea salt is an excellent source of sodium and potassium, it is key in helping your heart maintain a regular beat and optimal health. Sea salt will not increase blood pressure, as table salt does, and has even been shown to reduce hypertension, along with the risks of heart disease.

Digestion

Another area that benefits from sea salt is the digestive tract. The savoriness of sea salt encourages increased secretion of salivary enzymes that are central to the breakdown of carbohydrates. The lack of these secretions can lead to numerous stomach illnesses, such as indigestion, bloating, stomach cramps, and heartburn. Sea salt also stimulates the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which aids in the breakdown of foods.

Revivifies Skin

Sea salt can be used topically as a natural exfoliant. Its high mineral content and inflammatory properties make it particularly beneficial in the treatment of acne, eczema, and the general effects of aging.  Scrubbing your body with sea salt rids it of dead cells while improving circulation. Sea salt naturally enhances moisture and enriches skin further with the essential nutrients it contains.

Eliminates Muscle Cramps

Muscle cramps often occur due to a lack of electrolytes resulting from lots of sweating. Drinking a glass of water with a teaspoon of sea salt before exercising, acts as an electrolyte balancing drink. It will keep you hydrated and thereby prevent dehydration or cramps before they can start.
