Similar to refined sugar, refined table salt contains next to non of the trace elements. There are no key minerals and nutrients that your body needs.
An easy tip to remember when buying salt is don't be fooled by the term "sea salt". Virtually all salts are sea salt. To tell what a full spectrum sea salt is, just look at the color! You want your salt to be a sandy rose color (Himalayan pink salt) or a brownish sandy color (Celtic Sea Salt).
So, what do these full spectrum salts have? They contain a broad range of trace minerals such as
magnesium and potassium, necessary for health and which help the body metabolize the sodium better. Unrefined rock salt can contain more than 90 different trace elements and actually hydrates the body, unlike refined salt that dehydrates you. And, what's cool is that the full spectrum salts require no digestion - it is ready for immediate use by the body when dissolved in water.
So, next time your at the store, put that cute little Mortan salt girl down and opt for the healthier choice!
