Choose True Health: Himalayan Pink Salt vs. Table Salt

12/16/2013

Patients always ask me why they should purchase Himalayan pink salt over there regular table salt.  I thought I put a little blog together to help outline the benefits of Himalayan salt. 

Top 3 Reasons you should be using Himalayan pink salt: 

1. Rich in minerals and elements: Himalayan pink salt has 84 essential minerals that your body requires. Table salt on the other hand, only has a few. The purifying process of table salt depletes it of its natural minerals. Himalayan pink salt has 15% trace minerals*; whereas, table salt has many additives including anti-caking compounds, iodide and fluoride in some cases (outside of US).  

Some health benefits from minerals and elements of Himalayan Pink Salt:
  • Electrolyte Balance
  • Regulating pH (assisting in keeping body alkaline)
  • Prevents muscle cramping and strengthens bones
  • Increases hydration
  • Regulates blood pressure and improves circulation
  • Assist absorption of nutrients in gut

Trace Minerals: Sulphate, Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium, Bicarbonate, Bromide, Borate, Strontium, and Fluoride (in descending order of most to least)

2. Less Sodium Content: Himalayan Pink Salt has 85.62% of sodium chloride vs. table salt that has 95% of sodium chloride. 

3. Not commercially refined like table salt: Table salt goes to a process to purify it that strips it of its minerals. Table salt is chemically cleaned, bleached and heated at unnecessary high temperatures (1200 degrees). After the purification process, its treated with anti-caking agents to prevent the salt from mixing with water while in its container. The agents used clog our systems, deposit in our organs and tissues, leading to potential health issues. Lastly, the iodine used in table salt is synthetic, that our body cannot recognize. 

If you are having muscle cramps and tension, consider making an appointment to balance your body. For a complimentary evaluation, call 949.306.9486 or fill out our contact form.
