First and foremost, table salt is not good for you and too much salt in your diet will cause an array of dangerous health issues. Your doctor will always tell you to cut back on salt to control high blood pressure and other related diseases. I have been researching the benefits of Himalayan Pink salt. There is a significant difference between a common salt that most restaurants and homes use verse...s the nutritional value of Himalayan Pink salt.
Himalayan pink salts are the most natural, cleanest and most pure salts found on the face of the earth. The salts are a fossilized sea salt that have been dried by the sun over millions of years from a time when there was no man made pollution on the planet.
Himalayan crystal salts are pink in colour unlike the normal standard table or 'sea salt', this is because the minerals in the salts have not been removed by the refining process.
Himalayan salts contain a massive 84 minerals and trace elements such as copper, potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron to name only a few - the pink colour in the salt is due to the Iron content within the salt.
Himalayan salts helps eliminate toxins from the body, helps circulation, and helps to balance the body's PH levels (acid/alkaline balance ), keeps the nervous system working correctly and keeps your muscles in tact as well as relaxing muscles.
The tiny mineral particles in the Himalayan sea salt are metabolised easily inside your body to help the human cells function correctly.
It is not only health and culinary reasons that people like to use this sea salt, people also like to bath in these salts and use them for therapeutic purposes.
As you are aware doctors and health experts will say that too much salt is bad for your health and advise people to lower their salt intake.
This is true with any salt even the most natural cleanest salt on earth can be bad for you if it is consumed to excess. But why are refined salts so much more unhealthier than unrefined natural salts such as the Himalayan?
Refined salts are just sodium chloride, standard table salt and even most varieties of sea and rock salt have the minerals removed from the salt because they are refined.
The minerals are classed as impurities and are stripped from the salt which leaves the salt with no mineral content and just a high amount of sodium chloride. This is extremely unhealthy for the body as high amounts of it cannot be excreted from the body and cause all kinds of health problems as it can store in the body (bones and organs).
Sodium chloride needs the other trace minerals in the correct amounts for it to function correctly in your body.
We all need salt to live as our body's are made up of water and salt it is very important. But do you really want to put a refined salt that has been heated up to a massive 1200F and had every nutrient stripped from it into your body?
One of the differences between a natural salt such as Himalayan salt crystals and refined salts such as table salt or other so called 'sea salts' is of the moisture content of the salt.
When you sprinkle refined table salt onto your food you may notice that the little round grains sprinkle easily onto your food, you may also notice that if you pinch some of this salt between your fingers you can feel the little round grains that are all separated from one another and easily sprinkle straight from your fingers onto your food. None of the table salt would remain on your fingers would it? Who wants salty fingers anyway right?
You can also mix the Himalayan pink salt with some oils and use it as a body scrub in the shower. it is very effective and stimulates your skin and muscles. I mix the Himalayan pink salt with organic brown sugar along with grapeseed oil and olive oil. I use this mixture as an exfoliant every morning. it is rejuvenating, good for your skin and does not clog up your pores... It is also a lot cheaper than buying over the counter products that is loaded with chemicals and preservatives.
