Hey
@emkee_reinvented im pretty sure the variety of salt is not going to make a major difference.
I don't buy into the world of "supplements". People make the wackiest claims about things with little to no evidence provided. When there is "evidence" it is never acquired in a scientific manner.
Let's sat there is some benefit to Himalayan Rock Salt over table salt. If there were a benefit at all, the positive effects would still likely be the result of consuming salt in general.
It's a good way of marketing these things. They can take something with an established benefit, let's say for instance, protein. They can then add a rare flower from mongloia that only grows every 30 years.
The person is still gonna have the protein so it enables the seller to claim their product has health benefits without being totally dishonest.
We are all tight on money right now. I felt like taking a moment to share my feelings about this stuff in the hope that people will not waste their money.
TLDR regular saline is fine. I believe the recipe is 1tsp for every
z of water, but definitely verify that. 0.8g
Himalayan salt is rock/sea-salt colored pink (how and why? i dont use these kinda salts anymore) sounds like Hawaians black salt another sales gimic, just some added vulcanic ash could be they dint refine it, but if so i would mention it for the sales. So basickly the same as white or pink Coke or MDMA . Imo its a sales stunt and equal to dry Seasalt. And wasting money how much salt does one use, so there is little difference in cost buying 1 kg iodised NaCl for almost free or spendin 10 bucks on quality salt all topcooks use. No definetely not a rip off, more bang for your bucks.
Celtic sea salt comes from clay-lined salt ponds, which results in all of its most distinctive characteristics. Firstly, it is harvested in one specific location — Brittany — which is on the coast of France. It is gray because of minerals from the clay in the ponds, which also accounts for its other name: sel gris or gray salt. Celtic sea salt has a strikingly briny flavor profile.
Mineral Rich: The Secret Behind 100% Authentic Celtic Salt
Celtic Sea Salt, a pure and unprocessed salt, has long been cherished by chefs and health enthusiasts alike for its distinct taste and exceptional nutritional profile. Harvested from the pristine waters off the coast of Brittany, France, Celtic Salt is naturally air and sun-dried in clay ponds, a process that preserves its rich mineral content and imparts its characteristic color and texture.
The real magic of Celtic Sea Salt lies in its mineralization. Let’s take a closer look at the specific mineral content and their significance:
Sodium Chloride (NaCl) – 85.37%: Sodium chloride is the primary component of any salt. In Celtic Salt, it not only adds to the flavor but also helps maintain fluid balance and aids in nerve and muscle function in our bodies.
Sulfates – 1.26%: Sulfates help with detoxification and assist in the production of digestive enzymes.
Calcium (Ca) – 0.25%: An essential mineral for healthy bones and teeth. Calcium also plays a role in muscle function and nerve transmission.
Magnesium (Mg) – 0.37%: Essential for over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, magnesium aids in nerve and muscle function, steadies the heart rhythm, and supports a healthy immune system.
Potassium (K) – 0.09%: A vital electrolyte that aids in nerve function, muscle control, and maintaining a healthy blood pressure.
Iron (Fe) – 250.00 mg/kg: Iron is necessary for the production of hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen from our lungs throughout our bodies.
Copper (Cu) – .0300 ppm,
Manganese (Mn) – 10.0 mg/kg, and
Zinc (Zn) – 0.8 mg/kg: These trace minerals are critical for various bodily functions, including immune response, antioxidant defense, and DNA repair.
Moreover, the moisture content of Celtic Sea Salt is 10.34%, contributing to its unique texture and helping preserve its mineral content. The water-insoluble content is 0.70%, reflecting the purity of the salt.
It is the synergy of these minerals, in just the right proportions, that makes Celtic Sea Salt more than just a seasoning. This salt is a powerhouse of nutrients, offering a host of health benefits while adding a touch of complexity and flavor to your dishes.
In the realm of natural salts, 100% Authentic Celtic Salt is truly a jewel, celebrated not just for its culinary merits, but also for its potential to enhance wellbeing. Enjoy it in moderation as part of a balanced diet, and reap the benefits of its bountiful mineral content.
In comparison, seasalt thats found in rock, sold as table or as seasalt
table salt and Himalayan is mined. Or extracted from seawater but almost always refined to NaCl. ... The flavor is merely salty with no brininess, though some people can detect a hint of bitterness in iodized salt. The production of table salt is heavily industrialized, with millions of metric tons mined annually. "
But as antiseptic NaCl will do, diluted. Is there a reason no one mentioned Hydrogen Peroxide, which is present in honey.
Hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide can be used as an oxidizing mouthwash (e.g. Peroxyl, 1.5%). It kills anaerobic bacteria, and also has a mechanical cleansing action when it froths as it comes into contact with debris in mouth. It is often used in the short term to treat acute necrotising ulcerative gingivitis. Side effects can occur with prolonged use, including hypertrophy of the lingual papillae
Btw the Celts were not dumb, they been doing this not for fun for thousands of years. So buying the world of supplements att was not even relevant. There were no supplements 400 BC afaik.
for those responseable.
