Salt as a Product
Salt is a product of the crystallization of seawater or saline lake water, and its history goes back millions of years. There are many types of salt in the world. The most well known is, of course, table salt used for seasoning food, but bath salts are equally popular.
Regardless of the type of salt we use in everyday life, it is important that it not only fulfills its basic function of enhancing taste or being used for bathing, but also supports health and supplies the body with additional microelements and macroelements.
Salts that have a positive effect on the human body include Zabłocka Thermal Bath Salt and Healthy Choice Table Salt. Both products were recommended by the Polish foundation Professor Z. Religa Heart Surgery Development Foundation and were part of the health prevention project entitled “Heart Strength”.
Zabłocka Thermal Bath Salt
Zabłocka Thermal Bath Salt is characterized by exceptionally high mineralization. It is classified as an iodine, bromine and boron salt and contains particularly high concentrations of calcium, magnesium, silicon and selenium ions, as well as nearly all trace elements.
During a bath with the addition of this salt, the minerals it contains act intensively on the body, helping to remove toxins and metabolic byproducts such as urea, uric acid, lactic acid, acetone and creatinine, while also facilitating the absorption of minerals through the skin.
As a result, the workload of the liver, kidneys and other excretory organs is reduced, and the immune, hormonal and defense systems of the body are stimulated and strengthened. Zabłocka Thermal Bath Salt can be used not only for baths, but also for compresses, inhalations and gargling, and it works perfectly as a natural body scrub.
Healthy Choice Table Salt
The second salt recommended by the foundation is Healthy Choice Table Salt, which contains a reduced amount of sodium that is harmful in excess and increased levels of potassium and magnesium.
Sodium present in traditional table salt significantly increases blood pressure, which contributes to diseases of the heart and circulatory system and raises the risk of stroke and cerebral hemorrhage. Excessive salt consumption also leads to the depletion of potassium and magnesium from the body.
Salt causes water retention in the body, resulting in a general feeling of swelling and lethargy, slows down metabolism and contributes to obesity. Overuse of salt has a negative effect on the kidneys, may cause swelling and irregular urination, and promotes the development of atherosclerosis, osteoporosis and diseases of the digestive tract.
Therefore, it is worth not only limiting salt intake, but also choosing products with an optimal composition, such as Healthy Choice Table Salt. It preserves the taste of traditional salt, but when used as a substitute helps protect health and prevent many diseases.
The Described Salts
Both described salts, in addition to their positive impact on health, share another important feature. A portion of the revenue from their sales was allocated to one of the foundation’s main projects, the development of a heart support system for children.
This system was designed to safely support heart function in children suffering from severe circulatory failure. It gives the diseased heart time to regenerate or, when the heart can no longer function independently, allows the child to survive until a heart transplant becomes available.
By choosing salts marked with the “Heart Strength” logo, consumers were able to contribute to the creation of this life saving medical solution.
