Is eating sea salt harmful to your health for a long time?

As long as it is not excessive, it will not be harmful to people's health.

Sea salt is a high-grade refined salt for daily use. Compared with salt, sea salt is coarser and has more particles. It is extracted directly by evaporating seawater. Without iodine, it can effectively prevent hypertension and hyperthyroidism, and can also be used for pickling and washing. The sodium content is relatively low, but the key of sea salt is not to be polluted.

If you take crude salt for a long time, it can effectively help your body sweat, expel waste and excess water from your body, and also promote skin metabolism, making your skin delicate and firm.

Matters needing attention in eating sea salt

Not suitable for excessive consumption: although the nutritional value of sea salt is relatively high, compared with refined salt, sea salt has more impurities and is unsanitary. Excessive consumption is not conducive to human health, so excessive consumption of sea salt is generally not recommended.

Patients with hyperthyroidism should not eat it: hyperthyroidism, also known as thyroid hypertrophy, is mainly due to the imbalance of hormone secretion caused by lack of iodine in the body. Patients with this disease can't get enough iodine supplement when eating sea salt, which aggravates the condition.
