Salt has always been with the

from the start along with water
and the air, making it one of the essential

and thus extremely important.

Babies stay in their mother’s womb
for around ten months before they are born,
and the amniotic fluid consists of almost the same
elements as those making up the sea waterwomb for
around ten months before they are borntart along
with water and the airs needsechnology, eco-friendliness,
stable and.
And also people’s blood contains 0.9% of salt.
As such, human body embodies the sea from which
all life forms on earth were born.
And all the living creatures dwelling away from
the sea need salt for their daily activities,
and it is crucial for them to consume salt concentrated
from the sea water.
There are ample marine minerals
contained in natural salt in particular
and these minerals control metabolism of various
kind and play an important role in maintaining life.
The salt produced from the sea is both the origin
and the repository of life.
The basics are the most
important part.
We will be able to live young and healthy
if we stick to the basics.
Ringer's solutiont and sal
Old literatures say that King
Sejong enjoyed salted soup made by adding bay salt
whenever he felt weak. In modern terms, it is like
taking saline solution. Bay salt is rich in minerals
essential to the human body, and can help promote
metabolism. For such reason, salt was frequently used
in the past as medicine during emergencies.
What we know as the Ringer's solution is saline solution
added with 0.03% of potassium chloride and 0.033%
of calcium chloride, while saline solution is 100mℓ
of distilled water with 0.9g of sodium chloride. Saline
solution is transparent and colorless, and has osmotic
pressure same with serum. When injected to the human
body, it supplements water loss caused by infectious
diseases, poisoning etc, and also promotes the restoration
of blood pressure and discharge of toxins.
Meanwhile, glucose solution is made by adding 0.1%
of glucose to Ringer's solution, so that the components
of the solution will be close to those of blood. As
shown above, salt is used significantly in areas closely
related to our everyday lives.
What Salt Does to Human Body
Key Functions of Minerals in Human Body
Minerals
Functions
Chlorine
It
adjusts balance of minerals (alkali
and acid) in the body and activates
metabolism of cells.
Magnesium
It
promotes metabolism of cells and
activates enzymes
Sodium
It
keeps moisture balance of the
body and enhances muscular activity
and discharge
of the waste in the cells
Calcium
It
makes cell membranes and bones
strong and is involved in the
cardiac muscle and nerve system
Potassium
It
is connected with metabolism that
discharges waste out of the body
through moisture balance and plays
an important role in muscular
contraction.
Bromine
It
is effective for healing various
skin diseases and enhances its
resistance.
Iron
It
activates brain activity and enhances
concentration and thinking power.
Zinc
It
recovers DNA, removes active oxygen
and prevents aged skin and cancers.
Cobalt
It
is an integral part of Vitamin
B12 and plays a role in regulation
and stimulation of enzymes.
Iodine
It
is an important component in the
synthesis of thyroid hormones.
Some states of America legislated
to add iodized salt into edible
salt for the purpose of disease
prevention.
Phosphorous
It
is the most abundant mineral in
the body, next to calcium. It
exists mostly in bone and teeth
as calcium phosphate and its remaining
amount exists in the cells of
the body as phospholipid and nucleic
acid.
Manganese
t is involved in the normal growth of the body and removes fatigue.
Copper
t makes red blood cells, maintains cardiovascular system by increasing the efficiency of iron absorption and is necessary for normal immune function
Sulfur
Sulfur
accounts for the eighth largest
portion of elements in human body.
It is contained in largest amount
in skin, bones and hair. It plays
a crucial role in anti-cancer,
detoxification, purification,
and anti-aging.
