The primary problem is, many assume we must greatly reduce our salt intake, thus that is the current focus.
Apparently those who decided that our salt intake should be reduced where unaware of the important role that complete unprocessed sea salt actually plays.
Unfortunately, processed table salt that most consume daily has all the minerals (except sodium) removed.
It is then bleached and aluminum (a brain toxin) is added so it will flow more easily.
The salt processors are thus considering the taste, appearance, and convenience only, the nutritional value is not even considered.
The critical mineral potassium, along with many trace minerals have thus been removed.
Salt plays a "critical role" at the cellular level.
An important issue regarding natural unprocessed salt is, it contains both sodium and potassium necessary for maintaining the sodium/potassium pump.
It's responsible for assuring that nutrients (including glucose) can efficiently enter the cell, and toxins in turn can be effectively removed.
Salt also helps produce the hydrochloric acid necessary for, digesting proteins, and absorbing minerals, as well as killing bacteria and virus.
Salt is also beneficial for dissolving, and removing excess mucous from the sinuses, and intestinal tract.
Salt even helps retain water when necessary.
It's the "sodium only" found in processed salt that contributes to excess fluid retention, that can at times contribute to elevated blood pressure.
Natural sea salt also contains organic iodine, (along with over 80 ionic minerals) important for optimum thyroid function, and thus our metabolism, which influences our energy level.
Possibly even more importantly, how efficiently our body can utilize glucose.

addressed that issue when he stressed that unless we get an adequate amount of natural sea salt, we will find it difficult to control our blood sugar! Obviously, a major issue for any Type II diabetic, I believe we can easily see why that would be true.
For example, if the sodium potassium pump is deficient in either mineral, it would be less efficient in getting glucose into the cell, which would make insulin's job more difficult.
You could say that a deficiency in "complete salt", would contribute to insulin resistance! The less glucose entering cells, the more fatigue you will experience, and the higher your blood sugar (and insulin) levels would be.
Then we can't forget that the iodine in complete salt is important for thyroid function.
In fact, at times adequate iodine alone can help resolve the hypothyroid (low thyroid) condition.
Optimum thyroid function is important for maintaining healthy body temperature, which is critical for the efficiency of 3,000 enzymes, involved in many different bodily functions.
In laboratory tests it was discovered that even a slight drop in body temperature (thyroid function) resulted in reduced activity of enzymes.
Also, there are 47 known conditions associated with a low thyroid condition.
Some of the most common conditions are, depression, fatigue, fluid retention, and elevated cholesterol.
The Surprising Thyroid/Diabetes Connection Once again, the thyroid hormone is responsible for producing energy, as well as the efficient utilization of glucose.
That should help explain Dr.
Brodah Barnes discovery many years ago.
He found that once a patient's thyroid function had been normalized, their diabetes symptoms normally resolved - a major discovery! After assuring his patients had adequate iodine (an important part of the thyroid hormone), he would often prescribe the natural "armour thyroid" hormone, which is inexpensive, yet very effective.
Incidentally, don't expect to experience the same results from standard prescribed thyroid medications.
They have many troubling side effects, and also interact with many commonly prescribed medications (artificially T4 only).
They are also missing several constituents (including the far` more active T-3), found in Armour thyroid.
So we have at least two simple, inexpensive ways, we can easily reduce insulin resistance.
Then as fat cells can block insulin receptors, losing weight (if necessary), could also be helpful.
The visceral (internal) fat in the abdominal area, is the most troublesome, when it comes to insulin resistance.
Often a slight modification of the diet by replacing high glycemic foods with those with a lower glycemic index should be beneficial for lowering blood sugar.
Then replacing beverages containing any sweeteners (including the no calorie sweeteners) with water should be sufficient to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
Then if necessary, the trace minerals chromium picolinate, 1,000 mcg, and vanadyl sulfate (15 mg), can reduce insulin resistance.
Even the spice cinnamon has found to be beneficial.
Just a few minutes of exercise following a meal, will normally help burn any excess sugar in the bloodstream.
There are many ways we can easily stabilize our blood sugar, and insulin, (without medications).
The problem is, diabetic medications actually deplete some nutrients necessary for producing "quality insulin.
"By so doing, they are actually promoting insulin resistance! For additional information you can review my website at: www.
