7 Reasons to Choose Celtic Sea Salt

Celtic Sea Salt:

1. Unlike most salts, Celtic Sea Salt does not put harmful additives (like aluminum to keep it from caking and bleach to make it whiter-looking).  If you choose a good brand, the salt is dried in the sun and wind, and that's the only processing it gets.  The enzyme activators and around 80 trace minerals your body needs to survive are still in tact and ready for you to absorb.
2. It has usable forms of crucial iodine, which aids in metabolizing fat and helps thyroid function.
3.  It contains absorbable magnesium, which helps your body become heart disease-resistant and aids absorption of calcium, enzymes, and potassium.
4. It's flavor is highly superior over common table salt and improves the taste of dishes requiring salt.
5. Gives your body higher resistance to viral and bacterial infections.
6. When choosing Celtic sea salt, look for a light grey coloring.  It means it contains usable, vital minerals your body needs.
7. Most sea salts have been refined (see reason number one above).  If your sea salt is white, you're using processed salt.  The "Celtic" part of your sea salt is important.  It most likely means it's been harvested the same way for centuries and all the good stuff in the salt is still there (check the labels to find your salt's story).
