Does salt cause hypertension and heart disease?

(NaturalNews) From cradle to grave, most people are poorly educated
about how to avoid cancer, heart disease plus many other degenerative
conditions. While extreme dieting techniques and dangerous drugs are
popularized in the media, we simply don't hear enough about the healing
power of whole (unrefined) organic foods. For example, should we eat
salt? The controversy continues to this day...

On the next
NatrualNews Talk Hour, Jonathan Landsman and Dr. David Brownstein talk
about the "controversy" surrounding salt consumption. Plus, find out how
to naturally treat hypertension, metabolic disorders and thyroid
problems - including Hashimoto's disease.

The danger of using regular "table salt" and a healthier alternative

Many
people are unaware that refined table salt is dried at more than 1,200
degrees Fahrenheit. When consumed, this highly-toxic (processed) salt,
commonly found in most restaurants and processed foods, will lead to
cellular inflammation; water retention and cardiovascular disease. Keep
in mind, the human body can NOT properly digest commercially-produced
table salt, which is 97.5% sodium chloride, other chemicals plus sugar.
(pure crap!)

On the other hand, Himalayan crystal salt is a much
better alternative for human consumption. Himalayan salt has matured
over millions of years without many of the toxins and pollutants that
pervade other forms of ocean salt. And, best of all, this salt has the same 84 natural minerals and elements found inside the human body.

Some
of the health benefits of Himalayan crystal salt include: the control
of water levels within the body; promotes a stable pH balance inside
cells (including the brain); supports excellent blood sugar health;
improves cardiorespiratory function; helps to reduce muscle cramps and
increase bone strength.

The importance of iodine for healthy thyroid function

The
thyroid gland synthesizes thyroid hormones and iodine is an essential
trace mineral that is crucial in order for the thyroid to work properly.
In order for your thyroid to manage metabolism, detoxification, growth
and development - you must have a sufficient amount of iodine within the body.

A
lack of iodine can lead to a swollen thyroid gland, fatigue, weakened
immunity, metabolic disorders, weight gain and even anxiety or
depression. If you or someone you love is suffering with iodine
deficiency, try to find a qualified, healthcare provider to assist in
the healing process.

If you're looking for iodine-rich foods -
try: sea vegetables like arame, kombu or wakame; organic cranberries;
organic yogurt; organic navy beans; organic strawberries; Himalayan
crystal salt or potatoes - to name a few. And, of course, you may want
to consider a good quality iodine supplement after talking to your
healthcare provider.

proper salt consumption; how to improve thyroid function plus much more
