The Crucial Role of the Salt in Our Health

Salt is vital for our health. Right now, you have around 250 gr. of
salt - about a cupful - working for keeping you alive. Without
enough of it, muscles won't contract, blood won't circulate, food
won't digest, and the heart won't beat.

Salt, the sodium chloride, is an essential part of the diet of
humans and animals and is a part of our fluids, such as blood,
sweat, and tears.

The two elements of salt - sodium and chloride - play a variety of
very important and crucial roles in our bodies as maintaining the
balance of our fluids, which carry oxygen and nutrients around our
bodies.

The sodium it contains is helping maintain the fluid in the blood
cells and enables the transmission of electrical impulses between
our brain, nerves and muscles. It is responsible for our taste,
smell and tactile senses and helps our muscles - including the
heart - to contract.

The chloride is essential to our food digestion process by providing
chloride for hydrochloric acid - an essential element of human
digestive fluid - and helps in preserving the acid-base balance in
our body. It plays an important role in absorbing potassium and
helping the blood to carry carbon dioxide from respiring tissues to
the lungs.

Salt is an essential element in our lives and our health. Salt is
widely and abundantly distributed in nature, dissolved in sea water,
salt lakes or in solid form as mineral halite that is the pure salt
and can be find in large deposits around the world. In history, the
salt has been used as money.

Today, researchers have rediscovered the salt benefits. They have
noticed that increased salt and water intake help people with
chronic fatigue syndrome. An important role it has in respiratory
diseases by its anti inflammatory, bactericide, mucokinetic and
hydrophilic properties, helping in cleaning and widening the airways
in all respiratory diseases.

The salt therapy is based on speleotherapy, which is therapy in the
conditions of the microclimate of salt mines. Being hard to reach
them, people have found the way to bring the salt mines benefits in
their homes with devices like Salin and Salt Pipe.
Some of the effects of the salt therapy on people with respiratory
diseases as asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis and allergies are:

* facilitates the phlegm expulsion and ventilation of lungs of
patients with chronic diseases of the lower respiratory tract
* the therapy reduces the total IgE level and improves the non-
specific and immunological response of the organism
* the relaxing effect of salt therapy on the nervous system makes it
suitable for persons with sleep disorders, stress, etc. and the
improvement of well-being and sleep is observed already after few
days of use.
* in patients with allergic and vasomotor rhinitis and purulent
sinusitis improves breathing through the nose and the drainage of
the sinuses
* reduces snoring by clearing the airway passages in the
oropharyngeal region
* facilitates an easier breathing by cleaning the airways and
improving the quality of the indoor air by killing bacteria and
mold.
