The New Year is the time at which a new calendar year begins. It's also a time of starting fresh....a thorough housecleaning, paying off debts, returning borrowed items, reflecting on the previous year or recommitting to a healthy lifestyle.
As we zoom through January, the Indiana Parkinson Foundation is excited about the New Year and new initiatives. Stay tuned!

SEA SALT vs. TABLE SALT
Author: Mike Geary Certified Nutrition Specialist
The REAL problem is refined table salt. Refined salt is simply nothing more than sodium chloride, but it's MISSING over 80 trace minerals that are naturally supposed to be in salt, because those vitally important minerals have been refined out. Refined salt is the main reason salt in general has such a bad reputation. It’s the same terrible stuff you find in processed foods. Humans actually NEED salt, but most research (especially what's been published in America) has revolved around refined table salt - and the results have shown that this stuff is BAD for you. In many parts of the world, it is well-accepted that salt itself is NOT the problem ... it's the TYPE of salt that's causing problems. Refined table salt is pretty scary, actually. It often contains harmful anti-caking agents, some of which have been linked to heavy metal toxicity and kidney problems. A common preservative in these refined salts, sodium acetate, may cause elevated blood pressure and kidney disturbances. So what should you use instead?
The truth is that unrefined sea salt is actually VERY good for you. It helps to balance your blood sugar, helps keep your bones strong, regulates your metabolism, boosts your immune system and more. Natural, unrefined sea salt provides a number of nutrients and minerals, in a way that the body recognizes and knows how to use. Over 80 trace minerals found in the naturally filtered salt water used to create unrefined sea salt give it its vital grayish color, and its slight moistness keeps the salt and minerals in a form that the body can use. Not only that, but the naturally occurring minerals in REAL unrefined sea salt are vitally important to maintaining normal blood pressure. In fact, it's been found to be dangerous to your health to eat too little salt, and this frequently happens when somebody has been told by their doctor to restrict sodium, so they erroneously start avoiding ALL salt, instead of eating truly natural healthy salt that contains all of the trace minerals.
