    Default Celtic Sea Salt

    OMG. i have never had light grey celtic sea salt before. i'd had pink himalayan salt, but never this... omg. IT IS AMAZING!!!!!!

    thank you ahmeerah for recommending it!

    What do you do with it?? I ate it on my greens earlier, but now i feel addicted to it and i keep grabbing crystals out of the jar to crunch on. SO GOOD!!!

    It has potassium... crazy.

    oooooh in water-- that would be good. when i was younger my dr actually recommended i get more salt in my diet (she probably meant celtic sea salt!) because I had/have problems with fainting related to keeping my electrolytes in balance.

    ^^^ but just a pinch. You shouldn't be able to taste it.

    It's better for you than Gatorade that's for sure.

    All salt is sodium chloride.

    Celtic Sea Salt is awesome. It has 70+ trace minerals in it that your body needs.


    Throw away your table salt.

    I drink a 1/2 teaspoon a day of celtic sea salt with water to support my adrenal glands. It does not make me bloat.

    Yes but it's important for people to understand that the mineral content is the only difference.

    It's still sodium chloride and still will cause issues for people on low sodium diets etc.

    Not trying to bust your balls! I personally am a big fan of sea salt.

    It tastes better than regular salt. Make sure you buy a brand like Celtic Sea Salt. It should have a gray, damp, clumpy look.

    There is a lot of "sea salt" out there that is still refined.

    i didn't even have any form of salt whatsoever in my pantry before i bought the celtic sea salt... i won't use regular table salt EVER in anything.

    and yeah...all salt is sodium chloride.

    Does it really not make you bloat? What's the scientific/biological reason for that??

    health food store. whole foods. maybe a regular grocery store.

    it tastes amazing. i love that it's wet too... like it's right out of the ocean.

    I'm going to put it in a bath and pretend i'm in the ocean (im landlocked! and i miss it!) Is that crazy?

    Sodium is an electrolytes (like potassium and chloride) and is closely tied in with the movement of water. Sodium helps to regulate the fluid balance of the body, both within and outside the cells. It allows the cells to actually store water. A diet with too much salt leads to too much fluid stored. Some folks are more sensitive to salt and therefore more likely to suffer from water retention/bloat/edema.

    Table salt sensitivity is common. It's hard to have too much unrefined salt -- it's full bodied plus it is balanced with other minerals.

    I'm sorry but I disagree.

    People tend to have more issues with table salt not because it's refined but because they tend to use more. Table salt is finer in texture and pours out of a shaker, it's harder to gauge how much you are using. Sea salts and other unrefined salts have a heavier texture making it that much easier to see how much you are using.

    Refining (when it comes to salt) means nothing more than they remove mieral content.

    Unrefined salts and refined salts both are sodium chloride, that is what causes the water retention/edema.

    I am sure that they mineral content isn't harmful and most likely helpful but it doesn't negate the fact that a diet high in salt (of any kind) is not healthy.

    Saying it is hard to have too much unrefined salt in your diet is misleading and dangerous.

    eh.... well considering my diet right now consists of raw fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds and contains ZERO added sugars or salt.... i don't think me eating 1/2 tsp of salt a day is going to hurt me, especially considering most people eat way more than that because it's already added to their food

    Agreed!

    And some salt is needed to be healthy.
    Like anything else moderation is what's most important.
