Sea Salt vs. Table Salt


Sea Salt vs. Table Salt
which one is healthier for us?




We always hear about table salt is to stay away from salt because it is fattening and always leaves you bloated. What about sea salt is that any healthier for us to consume? While if you cannot live without salt I suggest that you switch to sea salt. Sea salt is more organic and has many minerals that keep our electrolytes in balance. Keep away from table salt suggests the website of Health benefit of Water because table salt contains "
aluminum silicate." Aluminum silicate is toxic to our nervous systems according to a study done at UCLA it is a leading cause of Alzheimer's disease. Trying buying some unrefined sea salt which is more organic and healthier and companies have not stripped it of the natural minerals. I suggest you switch over to sea salt to reap the health benefits of a longer life.

Excerise without the Sweat

Sometimes we just don't have the energy to go out for a run or do a cardio class. So we wonder how we can stay fit in our busy lifestyle? I have learned some easy quick tips that I want to pass on to stay fit without trying so hard.

1. Park your car further way than you normally would because that gives you a little longer distance to walk to the store. Plus you'll have no headache trying to find that perfect spot close to the store allowing more time to think about purchases rather than rushing through them.

2. Take the stairs rather than being a bum using the elevator. Climbing the flight of stairs will tone your calves and butt! Climbing those stairs gives you that little kick of cardio you need.

3. If you standing in really long line try squeezing your glutes while your standing in place giving your butt firmness.
