When we consume raw sea salt we replace the various electrolytes lost on a regular basis. The key is to use a naturally dried raw sea salt that is not heated or polluted. This helps keep our cells and fluids in a healthy state. Remember you must drink adequate amounts of water every day to avoid dehydration.
Table salt (NaCl) on the other hand is a highly heated and refined salt that removes most of the minerals and trace elements that our bodies need. Table salt is primarily two elements and the sodium (Na) is responsible for causing health issues like high blood pressure as the body excretes water to get rid of the excess sodium.
