„Salt over gold“says one Czech proverb. But does this really apply to all of the types of salt used in the kitchen to prepare meals? Today, we will take a closer look at refined salt, and introduce the reasons why to stop using it and replace it, for instance, with seawater, the precise dosage of which we will also specify.
Salt is a crystalline compound - sodium chloride (NaCl), which occurs in the form of a mineral (halite), as a component of seawater, and in many other forms.
It is used not only to flavor food, but also as a means of preservation, to strew on roads in winter, in the chemical industry, and in the pharmaceutical industry in the form of saline solution consisting of 0.9% sodium chloride diluted in water.
Salt, which has undergone a technological purification process to eliminate any impurities, is called refined salt.
Most refined salts available on the market have been mechanically harvested from various salt mines in the form of brine (concentrated solution of water and inorganic salt).
Before mechanical evaporation, chemical substances are often added to the brine to eliminate the minerals contained therein. These are then sold for use in industry. The minerals contained in salt are termed “impurities”.
In the next step, the water is evaporated under high pressure and temperature, which disrupts the crystalline structure of salt. The final product is created by eliminating most of the humidity from the salt in a fluid dryer.
Are you wondering why salt is refined? We present four main reasons:
It is generally known that refined salt is harmful to the organism. It is not just a matter of sodium content, but also the chemicals added during the refinement process and its chemical structure. Therefore, we recommend eliminating salt from your diet entirely and replacing it with living, liquid salt – seawater.
Seawater spray can also be used in the kitchen.
We too avoid refined salt to prevent health problems, and use seawater for salting at home instead.
Are you wondering how to dose seawater for cooking? Just like with any other salt, it is a matter of taste. In the kitchen, seawater in spray bottles can be just as handy, for instance, when making salads.
In addition to cooking in seawater, we drink it for the reasons mentioned above. It has also been proven that salt used in reasonable amounts can have positive health effects. For this purpose, we use it in diluted (isotonic) form. It is best to dilute it at a ratio of 1:3, i.e. 250 ml of seawater + 750 ml fresh water (tap water). This ensures the correct intake of all minerals for your body for an entire day. The dose can be divided into several portions per day.
You can drink micro-filtered and isotonic (i.e. diluted) seawater regularly to provide your body with the full range of positive effects of this natural product, as well as necessary hydration.
It is apparent from the foregoing paragraphs that seawater has a whole range of positive effects on the human organism. It contains all of the organic, freely soluble minerals and trace elements in precise proportions, similar to blood plasma. As a result, the body benefits from the synergic effects, where the individual substances complement each other to increase their efficacy.
For instance, sodium is often responsible for the effects on human health, and together with other minerals (magnesium, zinc and other trace elements) is essential for the correct functioning of the human organism. On the contrary, sodium alone without the right help from other substances can be harmful to the body.
In addition to strengthening immunity and maintaining homeostasis, seawater also has the following effects:
Salt is not only a great product for use in the kitchen, but can also assist you towards a healthier body. However, it must be used with care. There is a reason why people say that “there are two sides to every coin”.
