Back
then salt was a very rare commodity. Soldiers actually lined up for
their daily dose and workers where often paid with a grain of salt,
hence the saying... Today’s daily fast throw away life maybe much
different, however our bodies have not changed that much. We all still
require this valuable nutrient, however for many, it comes supplied in
an overly processed, bleached, deodorized a bio unusable form.
Today’s highly
processed packaged foods contain an abundant amount of a white
substance labeled as ‘salt’ (as figure 1. shows). The paddocks which
grow our fresh fruits and vegetables are sown over and over and over
again continually churning out fresh produce minus the important trace
minerals supposed to of been retained in the soil and in the fresh
produce. So the next time you hear someone suggest you should ‘avoid
salt’, this isn’t technically correct.
What
is correct is that we should avoid highly processed foods containing
large amounts of this inorganic substance, try to buy your fresh produce
from organic farms where they rotate the crops from paddock to paddock
to give the soil time to regenerate or even better grow your own... Shop
for unrefined, unprocessed salt – it should be pink or grey in colour
(see figure 2) and get sprinkling on your eggs and meats...
