Bundled, transformed sustenances are frequently laden with sodium

Bundled, transformed sustenances are frequently laden with sodium, MSG, and other "flavor enhancers" that are harming to human wellbeing. Medicinal affiliations are frequently proclaiming the imperativeness of lessening sodium in the eating methodology. Yet genuine salt and basic table salt are not the same thing. Table salt is synthetically stripped and loses its nutritious esteem the whole time. Overabundance table salt and flavor enhancers are connected to coronary illness, hypertension, and hypertension. On the off chance that you wipe out horrible wellsprings of sodium from your life, genuine salt is flavorful and can really have some medical advantages. 

Genuine salt is loaded with minerals, for example, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, manganese, copper, and zinc. It is vital for fitting body capacity. Salt averts drying out, backings cerebrum and sensory system capacity, and assists with the ingestion of potassium. Genuine salt can likewise be utilized to mature and protect sustenance. Nourishments that originate from salt water (like fish, ocean growth, and salt) are particularly useful for people in light of their follow minerals, iodine specifically. 

"Ocean salt" has turned into a kind of nonexclusive name, utilized by substantial sustenance companies that are getting on board with sound salt to advance their item. I for the most part stay away from enormous brands like Morton just on the grounds that I like to help littler, more moral organizations who use higher quality reaping methods. Check your neighborhood wellbeing nourishment store, or request from Azure Standard, Swanson's, or Frontier Co-op on the web. A brand called Real Salt is one of my top choices, as is Selina Naturally. There are a few various types of genuine salt: Celtic, pink, fit, Himalayan, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. I've attempted and delighted in essentially every one of them, however each has its own particular flavor and nourishing properties. Some of my top picks: 

Fit salt is a coarse salt, incredible for curing meat, and for other cooking and preparing. It breaks down rapidly, so its useful for general salt seasoning. 

Light black salt or Celtic ocean salt is a delightful ash shade. It is commonly reaped in France, dried by the sun and wind. It's an alternate course salt that is useful for heating, and flavoring meat or vegetables. 

Himalayan salt is a precious stone salt, hand-mined from aged salt stores. It is said to contain in excess of 80 follow minerals. It can go in shade from white to pink to red, and is viewed as the purest salt accessible. 

Hawaiian dark salt or dark magma salt is an exquisite course salt, dark in shade as its name proposes. The shade originates from initiated charcoal, which has purifying properties. It has a hearty, smoky flavor. The color will siphon onto nourishment, so it is not extraordinary for preparing or cooking certain dishes, yet it is a fantastic completing salt. 

An alternate advantage to genuine salt is that children are regularly characteristically attracted to salty flavor, and it can be a fruitful approach to flavor vegetables to make them all the more satisfying for a youngster's sense of taste. My child loves broiled broccoli made with lemon, crude margarine, and completed with dark ocean salt, and he will eat up spinach and romaine greens soaked in olive oil and sprinkled with Himalayan salt. The Real Salt brand makes a natural onion salt that adds stunning flavor to fried eggs and steamed veggies. 

My Favorite

My Favorite was an independent indie pop band formed in Long Island, New York in the early 1990s, who eventually migrated to the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens in New York City. They released two full-length CDs: Love at Absolute Zero and Happiest Days of Our Lives, three EP's, and a few limited-edition vinyl-only singles. My Favorite broke up on September 14, 2005, when singer Andrea Vaughn left the band. My Favorite were frequently discussed in the indie music press of the time in the context of New Wave retroism, but are perhaps more accurately thought of in the tradition of romantic, lyric driven post-rock and roll melancholia, strands of which originated with artists like The Velvet Underground and certain glam rock artists before reaching their apex in the post punk period.

My Favorite's principal influences included The Smiths, David Bowie, New Order, and various singles from influential labels like Factory, Rough Trade, Cherry Red and Sarah Records. In negotiating these influences and impulses they were contemporaries of The Magnetic Fields and Belle & Sebastian, two bands they performed alongside at New York performances. Michael Grace was also part of a blue beat and oi! centered skinhead subculture during his early twenties, and the influence of certain artists like The Special's and Lee Perry can be heard in certain early recordings.

Late in their career, My Favorite found their greatest acclaim in Sweden where they were the focus of a National Radio feature. They performed at three influential festivals and had many smaller, but enthusiastically received performances in cities like Gothenburg and Stockholm.

The songs of principal songwriter Michael Grace jr, found a small but passionate cult of fans, who both related to and discussed the words and themes of his songs. These themes include alienation, nostalgia, loss, and love, and are often explored using a series of pulp novel-esque teenage characters and tragedies. References to science fiction, horror, suburbia, and Catholic mysticism (Joan of Arc, St. Theresa) show up frequently as metaphoric settings for what might be described as a post 1980, Generation X "it's all been said/done/lost" emotional malaise.

One of the best examples of My Favorite inspired criticism can be found in influential music blog 'The War Against Silence" http://www.furia.com/page.cgi?type=twas&id=twas0470&terms=my+favorite

In their career, they made two videos in addition to the two studio albums. They were featured in the Village Voice, New York Post, New York Daily News, The Alternative Press and a few interviews for indie programs such as New York Noise. Their song Homeless Club Kids was featured on a CBS daytime soap.

In 2007, the remaining five members of My Favorite joined forces with vocalists Lisa Ronson, the daughter of David Bowie guitarist and Morrissey producer Mick Ronson, and Erin Dermody to form a new band called The Secret History. Their first EP is due out in 2008.

Sea salt

Mineral salt has long been mined wherever it was available; the salt mines of Hallstatt go back at least to the Iron Age. However, there are many places where mineral salt is not present, and the alternative coastal source has also been exploited for thousands of years. The principle of production is evaporation of the water from the sea brine. In warm and dry climates this may be accomplished entirely by using solar energy, but in other climates alternative and often expensive fuel sources must be used. For this reason, modern sea salt production is almost entirely found in Mediterranean and other warm, dry climates.


"Fleur de sel" sea salt, Île de Ré.
Such places are today called salt works, instead of the older English word saltern. An ancient or medieval saltern could be established where there was:
Access to a market for the salt,
A gently-shelving coast, protected from exposure to the open sea,
An inexpensive and easily worked fuel supply, preferably the sun,
Another trade such as pastoral farming or tanning which could benefit from the nearness of the saltern (by producing, for example, leather or salted meat) and in turn provide the saltern with a local market.
In this way, salt marsh, pasture (salting), and salt works (saltern) enhanced each other economically. This was the pattern during the Roman and Medieval periods around The Wash, in eastern England. There, the tide brought the brine, the extensive saltings provided the pasture, the fens and moors provided the peat fuel, and the sun sometimes shone.

Salt deposits on the shores of Dead Sea, Jordan.
The dilute brine of the sea was largely evaporated by the sun, and the concentrated slurry of salt and mud was scraped up. The slurry was washed with clean sea water so that the impurities settled out of the now concentrated brine. This was poured into shallow pans lightly baked from the local marine clay, which were set on fist-sized clay pillars over a peat fire for the final evaporation. The dried salt was then scraped out and sold.
