February 18, 2018 By Coach Carlos

The nutritional wealth of sea salt includes vital minerals like sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium among other beneficial elements.
Salt is essential for sustaining the hydration levels of the body. It is extremely vital to maintain the electrolyte balance for the smooth functioning of the human organ systems. For those of us who work out regularly, it is crucial to recovering both salt and water shortages that occur through perspiration.

6 Health Benefits of Sea Salt:

1) Rich in trace minerals
2) Helps avoid dehydration and trace minerals
3) Excellent electrolyte source
4) Proper brain, muscle, and nervous system function
5) Nutrient Enhancer

Recommended Servings:

Types of Sea Salt

Two of my favorite varieties of sea salt are Himalayan sea salt and Celtic Sea Salt®. There are many other varieties since there are so many salty bodies of water that sea salt can be derived from.
