[www.keralites.net] Rock Salt Dr's recommend for GOOD HEALTH

Rock Salt Dr's recommend for GOOD HEALTH :- common table salt often has aluminum, a toxic metal, added as a flowing agent. It is also often bleached for whiteness with other toxic chemicals. It is an unbalanced, toxic product that should be totally avoided. Common table salt is a highly refined product and one of the worst junk foods. Virtually all its the trace minerals are missing, so that it is almost pure sodium chloride. The trace minerals are removed and sold separately. This profits the salt company and leaves our bodies impoverished. This product should be banned completely, and our health would be far better.

What is bad for hypertension is iodized salt, which is a fake salt.

It is made up of only 3 synthetic chemicals, sodium, chloride, iodine. It does not melt in water (glistens like diamonds), does NOT melt in the body, does not melt in the kidneys, gives kidney stones, and raises blood pressure. However, it is the salt favored by the drug-based doctors who say it is very clean and sanitary, pointing to how white it is and how it glistens like diamonds. The fake salt is man-made in a factory.

No wonder in the olden days Blood Pressure problem was never heard of. WE didn't have the Iodized Salt !!

The true salt, which comes from the sea and dried under the sun and commonly called rock salt , has 72 natural minerals including natural sodium, chloride, iodine. It melts in water, melts in your body, melts in the kidneys, does not give kidney stones, and best of all ,brings down blood pressure and stops/prevents muscle cramps, numbness, tingling.

If you get muscle cramps in the lower legs at night, just take a half teaspoon of rock salt and a glass of water, and the cramps with its

horrific pain will be gone in 5 minutes.

[www.keralites.net] Sometimes the better option is not to fight.

Sometimes the better option is not to fight, but just walk away and diffuse the situation. Sometimes the need for peace in your life is much greater than the need to be right.

Driving through the race of life

DRIVING through the race of LIFE

SOMETIMES the road seems long

SOMETIMES there is no end in sight,

However, when you look back on the journey it will have all been worthwhile because during those tough times you
NEVER GAVE UP. You kept DRIVING THROUGH.

Let go of the doubt.

Posted: 22 Mar 2015 12:00 AM PDT

If you ever find yourself doubting how far you can go, you need to remember just how far you have come. Remember the many things you've faced, the many battles you've won. All the fears you've overcome and all the chapters you've written. Remember the many times you doubted yourself in the past and overcame that doubt. Remind yourself that you can go as far as you believe you can and that the only one stopping you is you. Let go of that doubt and you will soar higher than you could ever imagine.

Do what makes you happy.

Posted: 21 Mar 2015 06:00 PM PDT

If you're caught between what you want to do and what other people think you should do, always do the thing that makes you happy. Unless you would like everybody else to be happy except you!
