The benefits of Himalayan salt versus other salts

As much as salt add taste to our dishes, it is also necessary for our body's ion balance. Consisting of sodium chloride, most of us are accustomed to using table salt or sea salt every day. But, many people do not realize that the standards between the sea salt, table salt, and Himalayan salt vary a lot and this, can have a major impact on their health.
Table salt, being a processed food item contains 97.5% of sodium chloride, while the rest of the 2.5% consists of iodine, moisture absorbents, and other chemicals. So many salts out there, even some Sea Salts, are heavily refined and mixed with anti-caking agents, which have so many bad side effects. That is why the table salt you consume is regarded as an unnatural form of salt and can have negative health effects on your body.
Unlike the natural salts, table salt contains higher concentrations of sodium chloride which will dry out the cells bringing more fluid to the extra cellular space, which can lead to edema and water retention in the body. Also, it can retain more water in the body at the level of the kidneys increasing the blood pressure and the blood volume. This is unhealthy for your body’s detoxification process as flushing out toxic chemicals is not carried out efficiently.

The Purest Salt! 

In contrast to table salt, Himalayan salt is the purest form of salt available in the world today. Formed deep in the past during prehistoric times, it is one of the purest salts in the earth, having been perfectly preserved by layers and layers of volcanic ash. Without pollution, it has no toxins and additional chemicals. While its purity is proven by the title it holds as ‘white gold’, when added with spring water it forms the same elements as found in its original source – the primal sea.
