Pass the Himalayan Pink Salt!

Image via WikipediaThis is one of my all time favorite and simple health boosters.  Who doesn't use salt? (Especially here in the US, we tend to like our foods salty.)  So why not choose a salt that satisfies that craving while nourishes the body with a full spectrum of minerals?

First, let's talk table salt.  Table salt has been depleted of all of the health benefits that salt is supposed to have.  I personally believe that ones of the reasons why Americans crave salt so much is because we are mineral depleted.  Salt is Supposed to contain minerals.  The salt on the table does NOT contain a full spectrum of minerals because of high heat processing.

Now, let's talk sea salt.  Sea salt is certainly a better choice than table salt.  When I first became aware of how table salt is a hindrance to health I switched to a high grade of sea salt that was UNrefined.  Yet, after awhile I began to question the real health benefits of sea salt because of the state of our oceans.  With ocean pollution at an all time high, is it sea salt really the best choice?

So I went hunting..... and I found Himalayan Pink Salt.  Himalayan Pink Salt boasts a whopping 84 trace minerals, plus is a natural source of iron!  This salt is mined in the Himalayan Mountains and is untouched by pollution.  It is hand mined, hand washed, and sun dried.

Benefits of Himalayan Pink Salt

*Regulates water levels for proper functioning of internal organs.
*Promotes pH balance of blood and the brain.
*Helps nutrient absorption in the intestine.
*Promotes toxin elimination.
*Is a great source of minerals which can help numerous complaints from arthritis, gout, herpes, gall bladder function, to simple skin rashes.  (and this is just a handful...)

American soils have been depleted of the natural mineral content from the overuse of pesticides and chemicals.  The mineral rich foods that we once grew are now lacking in the same nutrient density than the same food grown 30 years ago in the same location.

So how do we replace the mineral content that our bodies are so desperately seeking?  Himalayan Pink Salt can be one of the answers to that question with the least amount of change to one's diet and regimen.

I personally purchase all my Himalayan Pink Salt from Mountain Rose Herbs.  They are much more affordable than grocery stores or health food stores.  In fact, you can purchase almost 4 times as much from Mountain Rose Herbs than you can from Whole Foods for the same dollar amount.  Mountain Rose Herbs also has a salt grinder that brings out the most Divine Flavor of Himalayan Pink Salt.  I personally have two salt grinders, the one from Mountain Rose Herbs for my table and another one for more general cooking use.

Happy Salting!
