teaspoon.\u00a0 The intake of sodium is vital for proper fluid regulation as well as muscle performance and nerve function.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Sodium comes in many varieties but most commonly appears on the dining table in the form of sodium chloride (table salt).\u00a0 Sodium chloride is highly processed and contains added harmful ingredients, like aluminum, to allow the salt to pour easily.\u00a0 The end result is a substance that requires tremendous energy for the body to neutralize and eliminate.\u00a0 Consumption of sodium chloride can result in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Arthritis<\/li>\n<li>Cellulite<\/li>\n<li>Gallstones<\/li>\n<li>Gout<\/li>\n<li>Kidney stones<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While sea salt is more flavorful requiring less to result in good seasoning, its reputation as a healthier alternative is called into question due to the toxins found in our waters as well as the waste created from oil spills.<\/p>\n<p>Pure Himalayan crystal salt may be the answer to beneficial sodium intake.\u00a0 Tucked away in a pristine environment and mined by hand, HCS contains 84 trace minerals in colloidal form, making its properties easy for the body to absorb and utilize.\u00a0 Unlike table salt or sea salt, HCS is free from pollutants and added harmful ingredients and has a perfect crystal structure.<\/p>\n<p>Along with adding HCS to food, many people benefit from adding this salt to bath water for detoxification and skin restoration.<\/p>\n<p>For more research, visit:\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mercola.com\/\"
