Most sea salt has been heated. However, Celtic salt, Himalayan salt and Real Salt are all raw. You can get the coarse Celtic salt at Whole Foods for about five dollars per pound. The fine Celtic salt is about twice as expensive, probably because of the extra time and labor involved in the grinding process.
All land animals seek out salt. Also, our blood is the same composition as the ocean. If you don't have high salt requirements, you might be able to get by without it. However, I don't know if achieving optimal health is possible without it. I have heard plants have the ability to uptake sodium, but not sodium chloride, the latter of which is what our body really needs.
After working out, a lot of people get hypoglycemic, which is what might be happening to you, Bean. Also, hypoglycemics tend to be mineral deficient, and salt can help to remineralize the body. Himalayan salt and Celtic salt are both mainly sodium chloride, but we really don't need much of many of the trace minerals (however, we still need them). Also, you might want to try eating before, during and/or after a workout to stabilize the blood sugar. LOL. :)
