The benefits of salt

Edited in canvas

Greetings my dear users and steemins who love good food, recipes and much more. I am here to participate in this very interesting contest organized by our friend @lirvic.

Throughout the history of mankind has a before and a why, of course this product very well called chemically "sodium chloride (NaCl)", is a mineral, a condiment, totally essential in the life of man.

Throughout human history, long before being used in our modern and current kitchens, there was a seemingly simple but vital treasure, I mean Salt. For our ancestors and ancestors was not only a condiment, but a crucial element for survival, used as a very precious preservative, which allowed to extend the life especially of food and therefore their own, this was a mineral from ancient times where it was traded as if it were white gold, which was brought to contemporary tables, it has maintained its relevance, although its role has evolved.

Nowadays, beyond enhancing flavors and giving taste to our food, it is also recognized for its important participation in fundamental physiological processes, from nerve transmission to water balance. It is worth noting that its journey through time reveals it as a simple crystal that has woven a continuous history of necessity and usefulness for the human race.

Look how important and indispensable this humble and simple mineral is that even in the bible it is mentioned as an example to follow, "I am the salt of the earth" is a biblical reference found in the book of Matthew 5:13***. I am going to leave this phrase for you to analyze and see how important it is.

Particularly and it is obvious that it should not be missing in our kitchen, I give it many uses such as.

• As medicine, especially when I have problems and infections in the throat, in half a glass of water I add a half teaspoon of salt and gargle, its iodine helps me to disinflate and disinfect, it gives me very good results
  I also use it with lemon, when I have cough attacks, I started to spray it and suck it, it's great.

The companies also give them their different uses, to prepare medicines, multiple products where the use of salt is merited. Others to prepare cosmetics and many other things.

In Venezuela there are two important sources of this resource, they are located in the extensive salt mines of Araya, Sucre state and Los Olivitos, Zulia state. It is a privilege and a blessing that in my country we also have this mineral.
In short, it is an important mineral and resource for the use of all mankind.

I would like to invite @yahnel, @menfita, @us-andrew to participate.
