Salt - The Everyday Miracle

Book excerpt: Salt is essential for life. We simply cannot exist without it. Too little and we're in trouble, too much and we’re in even bigger trouble. It's amazing to think that such a simple, everyday substance like salt can have such a dramatic impact on our health and well-being... but it does. In this book, you will discover all there is to know about this unique, natural substance and the health benefits that can be derived from the correct use of natural salt. This book is written in three sections. Section 1: all about salt, including the health benefits and the dangers, salt inhalers, blood pressure, salt baths, salt water, hidden salts, salt in cooking, sea salt, natural alternatives to salt, and much more. Section 2: discusses Himalayan salt lamps and their health benefits, and also includes a really useful buyer’s guide. Section 3: covers cooking using salt blocks and advice about their care… AND also includes 12 fabulous recipes! “After reading an internet article about salt, I thought I would do some research of my own, so I got this book and I’m so glad I did. Packed full of information, I read it from cover to cover. Couldn’t put it down. Very well written. I loved it. Highly recommended.” Jennifer Boardman “I was encouraged to get this book by a work colleague who was horrified by the amount of salt I added to my meals at lunchtime. A real eye-opener to say the least. I learned so much and I would definitely recommend it.” David Aspinall “The section about salt is well worth the purchase price alone, but on top of that, you get another section on Himalayan salt lamps, and yet another section on salt cooking blocks… including recipes! Probably one of the best value books you’ll ever buy!” Jessica Finch
