Why Your Body Needs More Than Just Table Salt

What Are Good “Organic” Salts?
Examples: Himalayan pink salt, sea salt (Celtic, Hawaiian, Redmond Real Salt), black salt, and other unrefined, mineral-rich salts.
Difference: Natural salts contain many essential trace minerals. Table salt is mostly just sodium chloride with additives and lacks those bonus minerals.
5 Ways Good Salts Support Your Body
1. Hydration & Electrolyte Balance
Help your body absorb and hold water better—crucial for energy, focus, and muscle function.
Supply key electrolytes: sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium.
2. Mineral Replenishment
Modern food and water are often stripped of minerals.
Natural salts add back trace minerals for nerves, muscles, hormone balance, and bones.
3. Stress & Adrenal Support
The body’s stress system (“adrenals”) relies on minerals from salt.
A pinch of good salt can help restore calm after exercise, sweating, or intense emotions.
4. Digestion & Nutrient Absorption
Salt stimulates digestive juices, helping you break down and use food better.
Some people use a pinch of salt before meals to support digestion.
5. Gentle Detox & pH Balance
Natural salts may support gentle detox and healthy body pH.
Why Not Just Use Table Salt?
Table salt is highly processed and lacks trace minerals.
Good organic salts keep nature’s “full recipe!”
How to Use Good Salts
Sprinkle a pinch on food or add to water (especially after sweating or physical activity).
Try a little in your water bottle for a natural electrolyte drink—just a pinch!
Quick FAQ
Will natural salt raise my blood pressure?For most healthy people, moderate use is fine. (If you have medical conditions, ask your doctor.)
Can kids use natural salt?Yes—kids need minerals too, just use lightly.
Takeaway
Natural, mineral-rich salts help us stay hydrated, energized, and healthy. Try switching out your table salt for sea salt or Himalayan salt—and feel the difference!
