New Years Resolution #10: Stop Being So Salty

Wanna lose weight in 2010 and keep it off? Take a serious look at the amount of table salt that you ingest on a daily basis. Sodium, in unhealthy amounts, is one of the worst things you can put in your body

Table salt, which is the most commonly digested, is not easily metabolized by the human body. Additionally, salt causes dehydration that can have many different adverse health effects.

During production, the salt is bleached and all the minerals are leached from it. Therefore, the nutritional gain from salt is very low. Natural salt, which is a healthier choice, is not used in most products that contain sodium. It is most likely table salt or processed sodium was used.

Table salt has been linked in several studies to strokes, high blood pressure, heart attacks, and kidney disease.
