Here's why. I want you to keep in mind that all sodium IS NOT the same. Table salt is highly refined and artificially (man made) created table salt, which can cause some serious health concerns. This is especially true if you consume it in excessive amounts. Now, unrefined sea salt is naturally occurring and contains essential minerals including calcium and magnesium. Can you take a wild guess at what the major food manufactures are using? It's no surprise here that table salt is used. Why? Profits are the main concern of the giant food companies and using table salt helps increase their profit margin. Get the picture yet? I do want you to recognize that sodium is essential for the body to maintain proper water balance and aids in transmitting nerve impulses among many other functions. Therefore, it is important that you don't completely eliminate salt from your diet but rather replace table salt with natural sea salt. The problem here is that most people have excessive sodium levels, which can cause an imbalance between sodium and potassium. This can lead to heart disease folks. For those with normal blood pressure levels, sodium intake of around 2,400 mg per day is generally safe. Keep in mind that your body will require more if you're an active person who exercises regularly. Those with high blood pressure are usually advised to reduce sodium intake to below 2,400 mg per day. However, I want you to keep in mind that the real cause of high blood pressure isn't salt consumption, although excessive amounts can certainly contribute to the development of high blood pressure. The real culprit here is mineral deficiencies and considering that table salt is anything but mineral-rich, doesn't it make sense to replace your salt intake with unrefined sea salt, which IS mineral-rich? Did you just have one of those “Ah Hah” moments?! I sure did when I discovered the difference! The lesson to be learned here is to eliminate the use of table salt and replace it with organic, unrefined sea salt. I hope this information will shed some light on your question. I wish you the very best of health. * Important notes: Frank Mangano is not a healthcare professional, and expressly disclaims any responsibility for any adverse effects occurring as a result of use of the suggestions or information above.
