I use Pink Himalayan salt as a table salt alternative, every single time. And not just because it is my favorite color.
Pink Himalayan salt has many health benefits. It is an easy way to add great minerals to your daily practices.
Health Benefits
Pink Himalayan salt has 84 minerals in total, according to this article by Livestrong. In fact it has sodium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, potassium and chloride. It also has traces of boron, fluoride, iodine, zinc, selenium and copper – all of which are necessary for optimal health. Medical News Today put out this article regarding the health benefits of Pink Himalayan salt.
Because this salt is naturally occurring, those healthy additions are completely natural. They’re part of the salt without chemical processing.
These minerals would be missed entirely with table salt, so utilizing Pink Himalayan Salt as a household staple is a great way to step-up your healthfood game.
More Flavor than Table Salt
For anyone who is watching their sodium intake, you will need to take the same precautions with Pink Himalayan salt as you do with other methods of ingesting sodium. However, because this salt has a saltier taste, many people use less of it to achieve the same flavor, which is another reason it is a powerful salt alternative.
