Lesson 59

Health Benefits Of  Table and Sea Salt

Sea salt has a lot of health benefits because it contains important minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium, which help our bodies stay balanced. These minerals can support things like muscle function, bone health, and keeping our blood pressure stable. Sea salt also helps our body stay hydrated by balancing the amount of water inside and outside our cells. It can help your stomach produce the right amount of acid to break down food.

On the other hand, table salt lacks valuable nutrition compared to sea salt. It comes from salt mines and, unlike sea salt, it is processed to get rid of minerals. Iodine, a nutrient that helps maintain a healthy thyroid, is added to table salt. It also contains an additive to prevent clumping. 

It is recommended to consume salt in moderation due to its high sodium content. It could cause high blood pressure in people because it holds extra fluid in the body. Other ways you can flavor food is by using many types of herbs and spices.
