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:
