As we already said, Himalayan salt has been kept untouched under a thick ice covering for so many years, and that is the main reason why it is considered to be the purest salt on the planet.

Table Salt

In comparison to other kinds of salt, commercial table salt contains almost no minerals, except for sodium and chloride. The minerals are stripped off during the processing, and the salt is later bleached, treated with chemicals that clean it, and finally heated at extremely high temperatures.

Producers add synthetic iodine, which our bodies cannot absorb properly. The salt is also treated with anti-caking agents, and these prevent it from dissolving in water. These agents also prevent our bodies from absorbing the salt, and this results in salt buildup and deposits in the organs.

These deposits are the cause of many health problems. Scientists have proven that for every gram of table salt you consume that cannot be processed by the body, it uses 20 times the amount of cellular water in order to neutralize the sodium chloride present in over-processed table salt.

This is one of the main reasons why salt has such a bad reputation. It is not that salt is unhealthy —  it is the refined table salt that affects our health. In addition, many people prefer consuming large amounts of processed foods, and these are full of the type of salt that is not healthy.

The problem is not the amount of salt you consume, it is that you should eat more natural and whole foods.

In this way you can add as much salt as you want while cooking your own meals, and you can even sprinkle some salt on your food, without worrying about high blood pressure and other related health problems.

Himalayan Crystal Salt is available in every healthy food store, or it can be purchased online.
