Such an easy thing to do to start your whole day off to the right start!!!
Drink a glass of SOLE (so-LAY) each morning. What is Sole?
Sole is Himalayan Salt
The ideal way to use Himalayan Crystal Salt is in the form
of a sole (so-LAY). Drinking the sole
when you awake each morning is like getting up on the right side of the bed.
It provides the energizing minerals you need daily to recharge your body, and
it helps set the stage for a day of vitality.
Essentially, a sole is water
saturated with Himalayan Crystal Salt. The sole contains about
approximately 26 parts of salt to 100
parts of water. Prepare the water and salt combination in advance. Each morning place a teaspoon of
the sole mixture in a glass and fill with 8 ounces of pure spring water. Drink
it immediately or sip it while getting dressed, checking emails or
preparing breakfast. The water helps
transport the electrolytes throughout the body to all the many places they are
needed.
How to Prepare
Sole
Sole is a mixture of water and salt. The object is to
saturate the water with dissolved salt so it can’t hold anymore. You’ll know
that you’ve created sole when there are undissolved salt crystals in the water.
You can’t oversaturate the water with salt. The crystals will simply drop to
the bottom of the container.
Place several Himalayan Crystal Salt stones or Himalayan
Crystal Salt granules about an inch deep in a glass container. (A canning jar
works well.)
Cover the salt with two to three inches of pure, spring
water. Let the salt dissolve for 24 hours.
If all the salt dissolves in 24 hours, add more salt to the
container. The sole is finished when the water can no longer dissolve the salt
and the salt crystals drop to the bottom of the container. There will always be
salt crystals in the jar. It doesn’t matter if you have only a few crystals or
many. The water is saturated and is now sole.
Cover the container to prevent the water from evaporating.
Since salt is a natural preservative, the
sole will keep forever. It can’t spoil or go “bad.”
The vibrational
energy of the Himalayan Crystal Salt remains in your body for 24 hours.
A teaspoon of sole contains 480 mg of sodium, or 20% of the
Daily Reference Value of 2400 mg based on a 2,000 calorie per day diet.
About Salts:
We all know what regular white salt looks like—and we mistakenly think it is real salt when it
is not. The fact is that refined white salt, such as commercial table salt
is bad, very bad stuff. Unrefined natural salt on the other hand is good, very
good stuff providing many health benefits.
Unrefined sea salt is healthy. The blood-pressure-raising effect of table salt can be due to its high
content of sodium with not enough magnesium to balance it. This has a magnesium-lowering effect that can constrict
the arteries and raise blood pressure. Real salt (of various kinds)
contains plenty of magnesium and other important minerals, which is why it
usually does not affect blood pressure in a negative way.
Sodium is an essential nutrient required by the body for maintaining
levels of fluids and for providing channels for nerve signaling. Some sodium is
needed in your body to regulate fluids and blood pressure, and to keep muscles
and nerves running smoothly. I cringe
everytime one of my clients tells me they are on a sodium reduced or No Salt
Diet. I personally know of 2
people who have ended up in the psch ward in the hospital because of their “no
salt” diets! We DO NEED SALT people, the
right kind of salt!
“Nobody makes a distinction between unrefined and refined salt. They
‘lump’ all salt together as a bad substance. This is a terrible mistake. There
are two forms of salt available in the market place: refined and unrefined.
Refined salt has had its minerals removed and has been bleached to give it the
white appearance that we are accustomed to seeing with salt. It is the fine,
white salt that is available at almost any restaurant or grocery store. Refined
salt has been bleached and exposed to many toxic chemicals in order to get it
to its final product. It has aluminum, ferrocyanide, and bleach in it. I
believe this refining process has made it a toxic, devitalized substance that
needs to be avoided.” – Dr. David Brownstein
Without appropriate amounts of sodium, your body may have a
difficult time cooling down after intense exercise or activity. When the body
is hot, you sweat. If you do not have enough sodium, your body may not sweat as
much and you may then become overheated. This could result in a stroke
or exhaustion as well as dehydration.
Sodium is an energy carrier. It is also responsible for sending messages
from the brain to muscles through the nervous system so that muscles move on
command. When you want to move your arm or contract any muscle in your
body, your brain sends a message to a sodium molecule that passes it to a
potassium molecule and then back to a sodium molecule etc., etc., until it gets
to its final destination and the muscle contracts. This is known as the sodium-potassium ion exchange.
Therefore, without sodium, you would never be able to move any part of your body.
Excess sodium (such as that obtained from dietary sources)
is excreted in the urine. Most of the sodium in the body (about 85%) is found
in blood and lymph fluid. Sodium levels in the body are partly controlled by a
hormone called aldosterone, which is made by the adrenal glands. Aldosterone
levels determine whether the kidneys hold sodium in the body or pass it into
the urine.
Unrefined salt, has not been put through a harsh chemical
process. It still contains the natural minerals that were originally part of it.
Its mineral content gives it a distinct color. The colors of unrefined salt can
vary depending on where it is taken from. This is due to the changing mineral
content of the various brands of salt. It is the minerals in unrefined salt that
provide all the benefits of this product. The minerals supply the body with over 80 trace elements needed to maintain
and sustain health. Furthermore, the minerals
elevate the pH (correct acidity) and
lower blood pressure. Our maker gave us salt to use in our diet—unrefined
salt—with its full complement of minerals, that needs to be part of everyone’s
diet.
Refined salt causes negative reactions on internal tissues,
your body retains water to protect itself, and your cells release water to help
dilute, neutralize, and break down the salt. This loss of water dehydrates and
weakens your cells and can even cause them to die prematurely. Natural sea salt
is far superior to chemically-treated iodized table salts as it contains all 92
trace minerals, and it’s only 84% sodium chloride while table salt is almost
98%".
All this adds up to one thing. Table salt, whether marine or
not, is toxic—it’s poisonous to the body and is responsible, in great part, to
the onset of many terrible diseases including thyroid and metabolic
dysfunction.
I don’t care which type of Salt you choose, whether it be
Celtic Sea Salt, Himalayan Salt as long as you ditch the “Refined Salts”. Unrefined salt will help to balance the
digestive organs, stomach acid, support the production of digestive fluids in
the liver and pancreas, regulate your metabolism and harmonize the acid/alkaline
balance. Why wouldn’t you rather choose
that than the all to popular refined white table salt. Blah!
