Researchers claim that drinking water with salt has many health benefits
Both water and salt are essential to life, so the combination of these two ingredients gives us a product much better absorbed by our body.
A glass of salty water is rich in minerals that the body quickly recognizes and absorbs. That happens due to the relation between the positive ions of salt with the negative water molecules.
Of course, we're talking about natural, unprocessed salt, e.g., Himalayan or sea salt.
Traditional salt is chemically cleaned, and dried at temperatures up to 650 degrees Celsius, and as a result, all nutrients are destroyed. I personally chose the Himalayan salt because, at this moment, seas and oceans are very polluted with heavy metals and radioactive elements. Recent reports say that the effects of the nuclear accident in Fukushima are increasingly scary, so I avoid sea salt.
HIMALAYAN SALT is one of the most nutritious and valuable edible salts in the world. In its composition, we find many nutrients, such as:
84 minerals,
Electrolytes,
Iron, iodine, magnesium, zinc, and calcium.
By adding a pinch of Himalayan salt to water, we will supplement essential minerals and electrolytes that are necessary for proper water absorption. Electrolyte deficiency can lead to heart problems, tremor, and even syncope. This drink can prevent us from experiencing all that.
Five benefits of drinking a glass of water with a pinch of salt:
- Better digestion - the mix stimulates digestive enzymes and the secretion of stomach acid, which accelerates metabolism, prevents constipation and flatulence;
- Detox- a glass of salty water removes toxins from the body and counteracts excess of harmful bacteria;
3.Mineralization - Mineral ingredients contained in good salt are very well absorbed. Benefits for bones, cardiovascular and electrolyte management; - Reduces the intensity of stress and makes it easier to fall asleep - plenty of minerals contributes to lowering the levels of hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which makes it easier to sleep;
- Helps to maintain a healthy skin:
- Chromium - Supports the fight against acne and reduces skin infections.
- Zinc - Helps to heal tissues and prevent scarring. Regulates the activity of sebaceous glands. It also supports the immune system.
- Iodine - Helps to treat skin infections by increasing oxygen consumption and skin metabolism.
- Sulfur - The absence of this element may cause scalp dryness, rash, eczema, and acne.
Recipe for the mix
- For 1 liter of water, we use ¼ tablespoon of Himalayan salt, remember not to put too much salt
- Drink the mix in the morning 30 minutes before meal for 7 days, after that; you have to take a break
- Remember to drink at least 1, 5-2 liters of clean water every day during the salt treatment.
When buying Himalayan salt, make sure that is a genuine product, there is a lot of fakes available on the market right now because this salt has become pretty popular.
The original mix comes from the Eastern border of Karakoram in the Himalayas, Pakistan - where there was once a salty ocean. The salt draws its pink color from the iron it contains.
