The Surprising Health Benefits (and Risks) of Seawater

Seawater Consumption: Benefits, Risks, and Considerations Drinking seawater might seem unusual, but its potential health benefits and risks are a topic of increasing discussion. A recent video by OLAIZ Farmacia Online highlights the mineral-rich nature of seawater, suggesting it can boost the immune system and aid in cases of diarrhea. However, the video also stresses the importance of choosing sterile, microfiltered seawater due to its high sodium content. The high sodium levels make it unsuitable for people with hypertension, kidney, or heart conditions. The video's presenter, a pharmacist, notes that the use of seawater for therapeutic purposes dates back to the early 20th century. While acknowledging its historical use, the video underscores the need for caution and proper preparation. Choosing high-quality, processed seawater ensures safety and efficacy. The video concludes by recommending a small amount of properly processed seawater daily as a nutritional supplement for healthy individuals.
