__ Whole-salt is vital to getting a good night’s sleep, as it is a natural hypnotic. Of course, you can help yourself even further by having quiet time for at least the last half-hour before you turn out the light and by having a small, not sugary, snack before bedtime to help your blood sugar stay stable throughout the night. If you still use dairy, then this is the best time to use it. Dairy and other high trytophan foods help initiate sleep.

___ Whole-salt aids the pancreas to release the alkaline buffering agents you need in the digestive process. Without these alkaline compounds, you could not digest your food at all. A burdened pancreas needs all the help it can get. Whole-salt is also helpful in metabolism by providing the raw materials you need to burn your food for energy inside your cells and thereby keep blood sugar levels normalized in your blood.

___ If you have persistent, dry coughs, try putting a little salt on your tongue to change this. Whole-salt is important in the prevention of the acidic conditions known as gout or gouty arthritis, too.

___ Whole-salt will help prevent spider-veins in the legs or varicose veins. These show weakness in your circulatory system. Pay attention.

___ Whole salt is vital for the proper operation of your salivary system. Saliva is an alkaline substance that starts your digestive process and takes a little of the burden off your pancreas to finish the job, later.

If you have too little whole-salt, you will have an excess of a too-watery form of saliva, almost to the point of drooling, because the saliva must lubricate your alimentary pathway to the stomach.

But, when your salivary glands sense there is too little whole-salt, they start triggering the storage of water in nearby tissues. This produces the famed double-chin (which is really a warning flag that you are deficient not only in salt, but interestingly, that you are dehydrated, too.) So, to reduce a double-chin, normalize your whole-salt and alkaline water or spring-water intake.

___ Whole-salt creates the ability for nerve and brain cells to operate and to communicate for every moment that you are alive.

Make sure that your salt has NO added substances. Aluminum silicates are often added to commercial table-salt to keep them flowing well.
