Organic sodium - Salt
The human body cannot absorb minerals that are
not plant based
|
Humans cannot do what plants do. Through a proccess called photosynthesis, plants bind inorganic minerals to a protein molecule. This process transforms the inorganic minerals into a form that we can use. We cannot absorb minerals directly from the soil, we need plants to proccess sodium into a form our bodies can use.
The sodium in our everyday salt shaker is inorganic, (dead mineral) sodium. In this form, it is irritating and toxic to the body. The human body can only use sodium that has been chelated (attached) to a protein molecule. Thus, plant based minerals are referred to as organic.
When sodium chloride is ingested, the body quickly removed it; yet when organic sodium is ingested, the body retained it. Sodium chloride tends to cause the body to lose calcium, while organic sodium caused a decrease in calcium loss.
We know that the body needs sodium. Sodium, in fact, is one of the foundational elements of the body. But we can't use any rock based sources of sodium, we must get it from plants. Here's a list of the plants rich in sodium.
- Artichokes
- Avocados
- Beets
- Broccoli
- Cabbage
- Carrots
- Casaba Melons
- Celery
- Papaya
- Plantain
- Spinach

When Your Body Wants Something It Will Tell You. When we are confronted with a lack of sodium in the body, we should replenish it by using natural foods that are high in sodium content. Because, once sodium becomes depleted to a certain point, the body will use its calcium reserves to neutralize the body's acids. This will compound small health problems which can develop into more serious health problems. Sodium helps us to have elasticity, limberness, and youthfulness; it impart softness, flexibility, and activity in our tissues.
Celery Juice
Organic sodium, which is abundant in celery juice, has received a bad name because of the average American's habitual overuse of inorganic sodium chloride - table salt.
Unlike inorganic sodium chloride, organic sodium found in celery juice is naturally blended with many other useful minerals. It is essential to the proper functioning of all major body systems. Organic sodium is the element in the blood that makes it salty. Because of its slightly salty taste, celery juice is an excellent component of any vegetable juice combination. Celery juice is especially effective for nervous conditions because it produces a calming effect.
For weight reduction diets it curbs the desire for sweets.
