You want to salt your food: which salt should you choose?
Tips from Anaïs Sauvier - Natur House Dietician in the Annecy region.
Natur House is a food rebalancing center.
Within the brand, we don't speak diet, but rather good habits to relearn & maintain has long term. For this, regular monitoring is put in place based on the objectives and needs of each individual by a dietician-nutritionist state graduate which will adapt to your lifestyle , in order to offer you a food plan without frustration and who will allow you to finally maintain your goals as they are .
The consultations are varied (weight loss, improving sleep or even stress reduction).
Natur House dieticians are also phytotherapists, which allows the integration of natural food supplements (based on fruits, plants and vegetables) in addition of the proposed food plan. These supplements do not replace food but support weight loss or any other objective (sleep, stress, etc.).
The brand's motto: Well-being above all!
WHICH SALT TO CHOOSE?
There are a multitude of different salts. Whether it comes from the sea or the land, it is necessary for our body and its own chemical balance. But since we constantly lose it (through sweat, or through urine and tears), we must consume a few grams per day as adults to replenish our reserves. Unfortunately, we currently consume more than is necessary (often double, because of very salty dishes, sauces and commercial products). Discover some original salts among all those that exist (healthier or more original salts), which will make us more aware of the act of salting, which has become too mechanical.
WHITE SALT:
White salt is a refined product, which no longer contains nutritional components. It is of little interest in terms of energy and diet. It is a flavor enhancer.
HIMALAYAN SALT:
It is an unrefined salt. It is rich in mineral salts and trace elements (including iron, potassium, magnesium and calcium). It is a non-iodized salt because it is a rock salt.
It also has a very appreciable aesthetic side for bath salts, scrubs, foot baths, nose cleaning (yoga), saline solution for the eyes, or even inhalation of its vapor.
Quick recipe:
Detoxifying bath salts: 3 handfuls of pink Himalayan salts + 1 handful of baking soda and that's it!
In the kitchen:
It has a fine and delicate taste and is rich in trace elements. It is also very decorative.
It can be used in making dough, for fish, in soups etc.
THE GOMASIO :
Gomasio is traditionally used in Japanese cuisine, “goma” means “sesame” and sio means “salt”.
Its primary use is to reduce daily salt consumption. It preserves the nutritional qualities of sesame. It is rich in calcium and magnesium. It is also a source of AGS and lecithin. It can be sprinkled on salads and raw vegetables, but also on your steamed vegetables or any other ingredient.
