Salting Your Way To Energy

Bette Dowdell

So, let’s talk about salt. Poor salt! It pours out its very life to benefit mankind and gets only disdain in return. Well, maybe that’s a little over the top, but salt doesn’t deserve the bad rap it gets. It’s not manna from heaven, but it’s good stuff. Essential to life stuff.

Here’s something I bet you didn’t know: People who reduce their salt intake to combat high blood pressure have more heart attacks than those that don’t. That probably wasn’t the plan.

Now, to be sure, if your doc told you to avoid salt, you need to talk these things over with said doctor before paying attention to me. I’m just a patient. Some people are sensitive to salt just as others are sensitive to, say, tomatoes.

Here’s how I got into the salt thing. My pituitary gland went on a work-slow-down strike years ago and decided to stick with it. As part of my not-so-excellent pituitary adventure, my adrenal glands run on fumes. Hypothyroid people probably understand what I’m talking about because their adrenals are typically in the same boat. So I investigated what I could do.

Craving salt is one sign of adrenal glands that would rather sleep than see their duty and do it. The adrenals balance your body’s salt vs. potassium levels, and if the balance gets out of whack, it’s always salt that’s on the short end of things–along with your brain, your energy levels, etc.

My first-thing-in-the-morning ritual, then, starts with drinking a glass of water with a half teaspoon of salt in it.

But not regular salt. Processing removes all the minerals from regular grocery-store salt and then adds aluminum to make the salt flow readily. Except that we really need those minerals, and aluminum is toxic to the nervous system.

Sea salt, on the other hand, blesses our cells by keeping all the minerals and adding nothing. It tastes like regular salt, but with a much better aftertaste, almost sweet. Celtic Sea Salt owns the big-time reputation, but Dead Sea Salt and New Zealand salt are good, too. Once I discovered sea salt, I stopped using regular salt entirely.

Of course, drinking salt water doesn’t do a lot of good for your salt/potassium balance if you’re swilling down a lot of potassium–as in Gatorade and other sports drinks. So if you finished up a workout with a sports drink and ended up feeling like a truck hit you, perhaps now you know why. Find something that has at least as much salt as potassium, such as tomato juice, or stick to water–maybe with a twist of lemon to dress it up a little.

Salt’s not all you can do to juice up your adrenals, but it’s a small, simple start.

Salt: Sea:Celtic Grey Course Grind 1 lb: C $10.35 Sun dried and unrefined, free of any chemical additives, with a gourmet, non-bitter salt taste. The salt normally used in most homes and restaurants (refined table salt) is very different from unrefined Sea Salt. Table salts are mined from the earth with bulldozers and heavy machinery, and then iodized, bleached, and diluted with anti-caking agents. Chemicals are added to refined salt in the processing and all the beneficial minerals and trace elements that are found in natural sea salt are removed. So you lose out both ways! In the industrial refining process, as many as 82 trace minerals and essential macro nutrients are forcibly removed, leaving only a single compound made of sodium and chlorine. Natural salts that come from pristine clean salt farms very definitely make food more tasty, and these salts make food more digestible, and may often, even measurably, help improve health. Celtic Sea Salt is a ''moist'' unrefined sea salt usually found on the coastal areas of France. It’s light grey, almost light purple color comes from the clay found in the salt flats. The salt is collected by hand using traditional Celtic methods. Grey Salt has gained great fame in the mainstream culinary world in the last few years and is considered by many to be the best quality salt available. This natural products is obtained from traditional organic salt farmers, under the highest quality controls. The method used for gathering them follows a time-honored 2,000 year-old Celtic culture and tradition, supported and authenticated by modern Quality and Purity control establishments. Trace elements, found in minute quantities in sea water and therefore in natural unrefined sea salt, all work together to assure and maintain proper function of the body's systems. If any one of them is left out -or even just diminished- a link will be missing, and the whole organism will suffer as a result. Natural gray sea salt provides renewed energy, and at the same time gives higher resistance to infections and bacterial diseases. Natural Celtic Sea Salt, is the gentlest alkaline- forming substance known. Furthermore, cereal grains, beans, roots or vegetables pickled or aged with salt (pickles, sauerkraut, or naturally fermented, starter-type bread), all become even better healing foods when prepared with unrefined natural salt. The absence of salt in the daily diet greatly hampers absorption of the nutrition contained in grains and vegetables and leaves them unable to function as natural healing agents. Natural sea salt is a living food, with its ionic and electrolytic properties profoundly anchored in its grounding crystals. Natural light gray salt is the most basic condiment as well as a staple food: it possesses the power to rejuvenate the body's biosystems, therefore, a powerful remedy for countless health problems. No pill supplementation can equal the wealth of minerals that natural sea salt supplies, regardless of how rich or precisely that suppl

Salt Of This Sea $17.53 Rated: NASynopsis: An urgent and devastating portrait of life in Palestine, Salt of This Sea is essential viewing. Sixty years after her grandparents exile from Jaffa, Soraya (Suheir Hammad) leaves Brooklyn to live in her homeland. Discovering that her family's bank account was frozen after the Arab- Israeli way, she decides to leave Brooklyn for her homeland, determined to reclaim her birthright, through whatever means necessary. With the help of her disillusioned lover Emad (Saleh Bakri) and his filmmaker pal Marwan (Riyad Ideis), they plan on one big heist to settle the historical debt. Driving through the countryside like an Arab (and pacifist) Bonnie and Clyde, Soraya and Emad discover their roots while rejecting their status as exiles. Hammad and Bakri attack their roles with feral intensity, electrifying the screen. The first fiction feature of Palestinian-American director Annemarie Jacir, and the first feature film from Palestine by a female director, it is an intimate, urgent and rousing piece of political filmmaking.
