Are You Eating Real Sea Salt?


Real Sea Salt
 Are you eating it?
Why Does It Matter?

Did you know that most "sea salt" you get in the store isn't really real sea salt? Most salt comes from the sea at one point or another but If it's all white, it's been stripped of it's natural minerals and may or may not have had iodine added back in.

Real Sea Salt naturally has dozens of trace minerals including iodine already.
Your salt should contain at least 50 trace minerals in it and look speckled brown, pink, and white. I have found such salts at local market stores, pcc (co'ops), and whole foods. The brand I found was Redmond RealSalt.
Pink Himalayan Sea Salt
This salt is considered to have a full spectrum of 84 trace minerals in it and best for your health and salt intake. The only reason why I looked into this salt was because one of my favorite chocolate bars (Theo's salted almond milk chocolate) contained it. When I researched, I found this site. You can buy Pink Himalayan Sea Salt at Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and (Pcc) co'ops as well.
Why should you start using Real Sea Salt?
Why only eat the one added mineral when you could have 50 or more minerals and better taste?
Most real salt contains calcium, potassium, sulphur, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, iodine, manganese, copper, zinc and more! 
All of those minerals are pretty crucial for good health, so start getting some of them easily with real sea salt!
