HEALTH, SKIN, HAIR & COOKING BENEFITS OF OUR UNREFINED SEA SALT No mineral is more central to human life and health than salt. It is essential in regulating hydration in the body’s cells. One quarter of our taste buds are dedicated to tasting it. Even our language reflects the importance of salt: good people are the salt of the earth, a competent person is worth their salt, and sketchy information should be taken with a grain of salt. Throughout most of history, humans have needed to find sources of salt to supplement their diet. Modern people have a different problem: too much salt, which can lead to many health problems. If you’re going to be monitoring your salt intake (and I recommend you do), why not choose a salt that provides health benefits beyond the basics? Why not use OUR immensely beneficial unrefined sea salt instead of regular table salt? OUR Unrefined sea salt contains 80+ trace minerals. These minerals include: - Potassium, for a healthier heart - Zinc, to strengthen your immune system - Magnesium, required for a healthy nervous system - Calcium, for stronger bones Even better, OUR unrefined sea salt typically has a stronger flavor than table salt, meaning you can still have great-tasting food while lowering your sodium intake! OUR Sea salt is a friend to your mouth even outside the kitchen. A mix of ½ to ¼ tsp. of sea salt per cup of water, when gargled, can have numerous, surprising benefits for your oral health, including: - Reducing ulcers - Alleviating sore throats and toothaches - Reducing bad breath * How about using OUR unrefined sea salt and natural baking soda as your toothpaste? The fluoride that’s found naturally in unrefined sea salt will help strengthen your teeth, while the salt and baking soda will gently clean and whiten them. Ask anyone who’s been swimming in the ocean about the benefits of sea water on both the skin and hair. Well, you can bring that power home with you every day without a visit to the beach. *OUR Sea salt’s natural antiseptic qualities make it ideal for removing unwanted bacteria from your skin and scalp. *Sea Salt Bath* A simple way to cleanse your body (and your mind) after a day of exertion is a soothing sea salt bath. One cup of sea salt added to warm water will not only soothe your mind and prepare you for sleep, but reduce inflammation from skin irritants. It’s also incredibly beneficial for people suffering from skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema! WHERE TO BUY UNREFINED SEA SALT IN LAGOS, NIGERIA; Contact us:

Your feet are an integral part of your everyday life, and as such they experience a lot of wear and tear. In fact, it’s estimated that you’ll likely have walked 75,000 miles by the age of 50. Because of all this use, chances are you’ll develop several foot problems throughout your life. *COMMON FOOT DISEASES* *Athlete’s foot* Itchy, stinging, and burning feet and toes may be signs of athlete’s foot. This contagious condition appears after you make contact with fungus, usually in wet environments such as locker rooms, public showers, and swimming pools. *Blisters* Raised pockets of fluid on your feet are known as blisters. This painful condition can be caused by walking or standing for long periods of time, wearing ill-fitting shoes, or having sweaty feet. *Bunions* A bump on the side of your big toe may be a bunion. This condition, in which your big toe bends toward your other toes, can make it painful to walk. It may cause inflammation and irritation on your big toe and second toe. *Corns* Round circles of thickened skin on your toes or the sole of your foot could be corns. *Plantar fasciitis* Plantar fasciitis can cause pain in the bottom of your heel or in the lower part of your middle foot. *Heel spur* Pain, inflammation, or even a bony protrusion at the front of the heel may be symptoms of a heel spur. Heel spurs occur because of a calcium deposit that grows between your heel and arch. *Claw toe* Claw toe is also known as claw foot. This occurs when your first toe joint points up and the second joint points down. *Gout* Gout is a condition that often affects your feet, especially in the big toe, because of too much uric acid in your body. The affected area may feel very painful. Some describe the pain as feeling like your foot is on fire. *Ingrown toenail* Toenails that grow into the surrounding skin are known as ingrown toenails. *Fungal nail infection* Scales or streaking, crumbling, flaking, and yellow spots on your toenails may be signs that you have a fungal infection.

*MAJOR MINERALS FOUND IN SEA SALT* Your body needs minerals to function properly. They support your immune system and aid in your body's normal growth and development. Major minerals are minerals your body needs in quantities of 100 milligrams or more per day. Depending on the original source of seawater, major minerals found in sea salt include sodium, potassium, phosphorus and calcium. Sodium helps balance your body’s fluids and is needed for proper muscle contraction. Potassium helps maintain a steady heartbeat and aids in transmitting nerve impulses. Phosphorus and calcium are crucial in the development and protection of strong bones and teeth. *Trace Minerals Found in Sea Salt* Your body requires trace minerals in very small amounts. Depending on the source, important trace minerals found in sea salt include iron, iodine, manganese and zinc. Iron helps red blood cells and muscle cells carry oxygen throughout your body. Iodine is part of the thyroid hormone and aids in regulating your body’s temperature. Manganese contributes to proper bone development, and it also aids in the metabolism of amino acids and carbohydrates. Zinc plays an important role in developing new cells and in healing wounds.

*SEA SALT IS RICH IN TRACE MINERALS* High-quality sea salts typically contain upwards of 60 trace minerals and for specific types like Himalayan sea salt, that number is said to be closer to 84. Either way, sea salts are a great source of micronutrients. It’s become harder and harder to obtain trace minerals from the foods we eat due to the lack of nutrient-rich soil. However, trace minerals are still abundant in our planet’s seas and oceans, from which we get a variety of sea salts.

*SEA SALT PREVENTS DEHYDRATION & BALANCES BODY FLUID* Here’s how sodium works within the body: water follows salt, which means if you increase your sodium intake too much, water retention also occurs. At the same time, the opposite is also true: a loss in sodium results in a loss in water, potentially causing symptoms like dehydration and extreme thirst. By consuming sea salt in moderation each day, you also ensure that you are maintaining sufficient sodium levels, which helps balance your sodium-potassium ratios. Sodium and potassium are two electrolytes that work together to ensure that there is proper fluid balance in your body’s cells as well as your blood plasma and extracellular fluid.

*SEA SALT PROMOTES BRAIN, MUSCLE & NERVOUS SYSTEM FUNCTION* As a good source of sodium, sea salt is essential for proper brain, muscle and nervous system function. Not only does sodium play a role in regulating your body’s fluid balance, but it’s also required for the transmission of electrical signals in the body. Why is this so important? Without the proper transmission of electrical signals in the body, so many things can get thrown off. Without this communication system working as it should, the brain, muscles and nervous systems are especially inclined to suffer. Both too much and too little sodium cause cellular malfunction. So as much as you hear about making sure you don’t get too much salt in your diet, it’s also absolutely just as important to make sure we get enough.

SEA SALT HISTORY/ FACTS History/Facts Salt has always been essential to human life since humans need sodium in order to survive. The production of sea salt has been dated all the way back to prehistoric times. Since all salt either comes from dead, dried-up seas or living seas, the history of salt is equivalent to the history of sea salt. In the sub-Sahara in the 6th century, Moorish merchants regularly traded prized salt in equal amounts (by weight) for gold. Later in 1295, the explorer Marco Polo returned from his travels telling stories of the highly impressive value of salt coins bearing the seal of the Great Khan of the Mongol empire. There were salt trade routes all over the world with the most popular one leading from Morocco south across the Sahara to Timbuktu. The history of human civilization is said to be directly linked to salt. How so? Animals would create paths to salt licks, men would follow, turning trails into roads and settlements would grow beside these roads. As civilizations grew around the world, salt continued to be one of the main items used for trade. Solnitsata was Europe’s earliest known town, and it was constructed around a salt production facility. According to archaeologists, Solnitsata accumulated wealth by supplying salt throughout the Balkan Peninsula.

UNREFINED SEA SALT: FULL OF NATURAL MINERALS Major Essential Macro-Minerals Sodium and chlorithe most abundant ions in sea salt, representing about 33 and 50.9 percent of total minerals, respectively. They are both essential substances your body needs for normal function and nutrient absorption. Chloride specifically helps with muscle and nerve function. Sodium also acts in muscle function and helps regulate your blood volume and pressure. Potassium is another important macro-mineral that works with chloride to help regulate acid levels in your body. Calcium and magnesium play essential roles in several chemical reactions in your body. Magnesium, for example, intervenes in energy production and the synthesis of RNA and DNA. Calcium helps give structure to your bones and teeth, in addition to regulating your heartbeat and normal muscle and nerve function. Both are present in sea salt. Sulfur is the third most common mineral in sea salt, says Western Analysis, Inc.. Even though it is not an essential mineral, sulfur plays an important role in your immune system and the detoxification of your body. Every cell in your body contains it, and it helps give structure to two amino acids. According to researcher Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D., sulfur is the eighth most common element in the human body and is important for normal metabolism and heart health. Sea salt can also contain numerous trace elements. These elements exist in minute concentrations but work with other minerals to maintain optimal function in your body. Trace minerals you may find in sea salt include phosphorus, bromine, boron, zinc, iron, manganese, copper and silicon. Your body uses some of these minerals, such as iron and zinc, to make enzymes involved in metabolism. Although phosphorus typically occurs in trace amounts in sea salt, it is actually an essential macro-mineral. Your body uses it as a structural component of bones, teeth and cell membranes, as well as for energy production. CONTACT US FOR IODIZED & NON-IODIZED NATURAL SEA SALT. 08 139 458 588

THE WONDERS OF HONEY Honey is a sweet liquid made by bees using nectar from flowers. Bees first convert the nectar into honey by a process of regurgitation and evaporation, then store it as a primary food source in wax honeycombs inside a beehive. Honey can then be harvested from the hives for human consumption. Both raw and pasteurized forms of honey are available. Raw honey is removed from the hive and bottled directly, and as such will contain trace amounts of yeast, wax and pollen. Consuming local raw honey is believed to help with seasonal allergies due to repeated exposure to the pollen in the area. Pasteurized honey has been heated and processed to remove impurities. Honey contains a treasure chest of hidden nutritional and medicinal value for centuries. The sweet golden liquid from the beehive is a popular kitchen staple loaded with antibacterial and antifungal properties that has been used since the early days of Egyptian tombs. Honey’s scientific super powers contribute to its vastly touted health benefits for the whole body. The healthy natural sweetener offers many nutritional benefits depending on its variety. Raw honey is the unpasteurized version of commonly used honey and only differs in its filtration, which helps extend its shelf life. A tablespoon of raw honey contains 64 calories, is fat-free, cholesterol-free, and sodium-free, says the National Honey Board. Its composition is roughly 80 percent carbohydrates, 18 percent water, and two percent vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Typically, honey is sweet but can be cruel to infants. Spores of Clostridium botulinum bacteria — found in dirt and dust, which can contaminate honey — may lead to infant botulism and produce a toxin inside the body that can cause muscle weakness and breathing problems. The Mayo Clinic recommends waiting until after 12 months of age to give infants honey; consumption is safe for older adults and kids, since they have a mature digestive system that can handle the spores. Consume honey responsibly and reap the numerous health benefits of this liquid gold. Alleviates allergies Honey’s anti-inflammatory effects and ability to soothe coughs has led to the belief it can also reduce seasonal allergy symptoms. It contains small amounts of pollen, which if the body is exposed to small amounts of it, it can trigger an immune response that produces antibodies to the pollen. After repeated exposure, you should build up these antibodies and the body should become accustomed to their presence so that less histamine is released, resulting in a lesser allergic response. It’s all-natural energy drink. Honey is an excellent source of all-natural energy at just 17 grams of carbohydrates per tablespoon. This natural unprocessed sugar — fructose and glucose — directly enter the bloodstream and can deliver a quick boost of energy. The rise in blood sugar acts as a short-term energy source for your workout, especially in longer endurance exercises. If your goal in exercising is to increase muscle mass, working out on an empty stomach first thing in the morning is the way to go. When your body is in starvation mode (upon waking in morning), and you start exercising you release insulin-like growth-factor, which will help you build bulk, and this only works when blood sugars are low. It boosts memory The sweet nectar is loaded in antioxidants that may help prevent cellular damage and loss within the brain. A 2011 study published in Menopause found a daily spoonful of Malaysian honey may boost postmenopausal women’s memory, which can provide an alternative therapy for the hormone-related intellectual decline. After four months of taking 20 grams of honey a day, the women were more likely to have better short-term memory than their counterparts who took hormone pills. Honey’s ability to help the body absorb calcium, and it helps aid brain health. The brain needs calcium in order to process thought and make decisions. “As our populations continue to get older and older, the likelihood of dementia setting in because of poor intake of vitamins and minerals continues to get higher and higher,” he said. It’s serve as a cough suppressant Honey can be the all-natural cure when it comes to pesky colds. A persistent cough that won’t go away can easily be remedied with two teaspoons of honey, according to a 2012 study published in the journal Pediatrics. Children between the ages of 1 and 5 with nighttime cough due to colds coughed less frequently when they received two teaspoons of honey 30 minutes before bed. The golden liquid’s thick consistency helps coat the throat while the sweet taste is believed to trigger nerve endings that protect the throat from incessant coughing. Honey is believed to be as effective as the common cough suppressant ingredient dextromethorphan. It can be used in treating upper respiratory tract infections. Its aids your mode of sleeping. Honey can be a health aid for sleepless nights. Similar to sugar, honey can cause a rise in insulin and release serotonin — a neurotransmitter that improves mood and happiness. “The body converts serotonin into melatonin, a chemical compound that regulates the length and the quality of sleep,” Rene Ficek, registered dietitian and lead dietitian nutritionist at Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating in Chicago, Ill., told Medical Daily in an email. Moreover, honey also contains several amino acids, including tryptophan that is commonly associated with turkey. Honey’s steady rise in insulin, it causes the tryptophan in honey to enter the brain, where it’s then converted into serotonin and then into melatonin, which is a sleep aid. This hormone is responsible for regulating sleep and wake cycles. It treats your dandruff. Honey can bring temporary relief to the scalp by targeting dandruff. A 2001 study published in the European Journal of Medical Research found applying honey diluted with 10 percent warm water to problem areas and leaving it on for three hours before rinsing led to itch relief and no scaling within a week. Skin lesions healed within two weeks and patients even showed an improvement in hair loss. The patients did not relapse even after six months of use. It can also treat seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff, which are often caused by an overgrowth of fungus. Moreover, honey also has anti-inflammatory properties, which address the redness and itching on the scalp. Treats your wounds and burns. Honey is a natural antibiotic that can act both internally and externally. It can be used as a conventional treatment for wounds and burns by disinfecting wounds and sores from major species of bacteria such as methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). It draws fluid away from your wound, the high sugar content suppresses microorganism growth. Worker bees secrete an enzyme (glucose oxidase) into the nectar, which then releases low levels of hydrogen peroxide when the honey makes contact with your wound. In one study, 16 adult subjects with a history of recurrent labial and genital herpes attacks used honey to treat and eliminate genital wart. (It's important to realize that neither the drug nor the honey will actually cure genital herpes. They only treat the symptoms). Interestingly, honey provided significantly better treatment results. For labial herpes, the mean healing time was 43 percent better, and for genital herpes, 59 percent better than acyclovir. Pain and crusting was also significantly reduced with the honey, compared to the drug. Two cases of labial herpes and one case of genital herpes remitted completely with the honey treatment, whereas none remitted while using acyclovir.12pose health aid. Some Honey Home Remedies Honey is a humectant, which means it attracts and retains moisture, making it an ideal addition to moisturizers, shampoos, and conditioners. Along with its antimicrobial properties, honey makes a wonderful addition to homemade personal care products. The National Honey Board has a few you can try out for yourself. Honey Hair Conditioner: Mix ½ cup honey with ¼ cup olive oil. Work a small amount through your hair until coated. Cover your hair with a shower cap and let sit for 30 minutes. Shampoo as normal and rinse. Honey Body Moisturizer: Mix 5 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons rose oil, and 2 cups almond oil in a medium-sized bottle. Apply as needed onto wet skin. Honey Almond Scrub: Mix 3 teaspoons honey, 1 teaspoon olive oil, and 6 ½ tablespoons of finely crushed almonds. Rub the exfoliating scrub onto your face gently and rinse with warm water. The Organic Consumers Association has also published this simple honey lemon cough syrup that’s useful to keep on hand during the winter months. Honey Lemon Cough Syrup Lemon helps promote health by quickly alkalinizing your body, and honey will kill most bacteria while soothing your throat. This is a perfect choice for a quick cough remedy. Put a pint of raw honey in a pan on the stove on very low heat (do not boil honey as this changes its medicinal properties). After that take a whole lemon and boil in some water in a separate pan for 2-3 minutes to both soften the lemon and kill any bacteria that may be on the lemon skin. Let the lemon cool enough to handle then cut it in slices and add it to the pint of honey on the stove and let the mixture cook on warm heat for about an hour. Then strain the lemon from the honey making sure all lemon seeds are removed. Let cool, then bottle in a jar with a lid and store in the refrigerator. This syrup will keep for 2 months in the refrigerator. To soothe a cough, take 1/2 teaspoon for a 25 lb. child and 1 teaspoon for a 50 lb. child, about 4 times a day, or as often as needed. Adults can take 1-tablespoon doses. Honey Should Be Consumed Only in Moderation Honey has many healthy attributes, but it is also high in fructose, averaging around 53 percent. Each teaspoon of honey has nearly four grams of fructose, which means it can exacerbate pre-existing insulin resistance and wreak havoc on your body if consumed in excess. So when consuming honey, carefully add the total grams of fructose (including fruits) that you consume each day, and stay below 25 grams of total fructose per day. Keep in mind, though, that if you have insulin resistance (i.e. if you are taking drugs for high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, or if you're overweight) you'd be better off avoiding all sweeteners, including honey, since any sweetener can decrease your insulin sensitivity and worsen your insulin resistance. If you’re healthy, however, eating raw honey in moderation could provide many of the benefits listed above.
