Alkaline health food and method for production thereof

摘要

The present invention relates to an alkaline health food useful for maintaining health of the body and to a method for production thereof. The present invention provides an alkaline health food having a high reduction capacity and containing a large quantity of mineral components. Seawater is introduced into a salt field provided with a difference of altitude. Seawater is gradually guided from zones with a high altitude to zones with a low altitude, producing salty water with a high salt concentration. Crystals of the salty water are precipitated to form coarse salt which is fired at a temperature of 700-1600 ° C. In the aqueous solution of the health food in accordance with the present invention, which is obtained in the above-described manner, the redox potential is from -10 mV to -620 mV and the mineral content is 4 to 10 wt. %.
