Benefits of Himalayan Salt

For about a year now, I have been replacing standard table salt with Himalayan salt. At the beginning, I found it a bit strong, but it turns out I really liked it. We all know in reality that we cannot live without salt; however we must use it in moderation and if we like it, why not use something that's beneficial to us.

First, we must understand there are enormous differences between today's table salt and Himalayan salt, Himalayan salt is the purest salt of all. Table salt is 97.5% sodium chloride and 2.5% chemicals such as moisture absorbents, and iodine. After these ingredients are mixed, then it's dried at over 1,200º Fahrenheit this excessive heat alters the natural chemical structure of the salt. Himalayan salt has been around for over 250 million years.

Below are a just few benefits Himalayan:
  • Absorbs food particles through the intestinal tract.
  • Regulates the water content throughout your body.
  • Promotes a healthy pH in your cells.
  • Supports respiratory health.
  • Promotes bone strength
  • Supports the libido
  • Regulates sleep
Health problems developed by table salt:
  • Arthritis
  • Kidney and gall bladder stones
  • High blood pressure
  • Develops double chin
Go ahead give it a try, my favorite is the pink crystals Himalayan salt. Below are a couple of great options.
