This is how a 1/4 teaspoon of Himalayan salt fights muscle pain, toxins and belly fat
By Organic and Healthy
It’s not often you see himalayan pink salt most places besides the grocery store. If your one of those people who breaks this idea than good for you!
Imagine having dinner with your family, and there is beautiful, and shiny china set upon soft silk. Your glasses are filled with this delicious apple-cinnamon-ginger juice.Â
There is a variety of steamed, baked and sautéed veggies set up on the table. It was my grandmother who had reached over for the table salt, and startled as ever, she looks over at me and says, “Why is this salt pink?”. I had to explain to her that is was Himalayan pink salt, and it’s truly amazing and healthy for you!”
Origins
A lot of people associate the Himalayans with the popular, Mount Everest, with its high peak. Actually, the Himalayan mountain range well extends through Nepal, Pakistan, Bhutan, Afghanistan, India, Myanmar and China.

In the early past (over100 million years ago+), deep in the Himalayans there was these crystallized sea salt beds that were covered by lava. Being covered in snow and ice all year, the lava had protected the pristine salt from pollution.
It is believed, that this salt is mostly the purest on earth. It is hand-mined from the Himalayas and shipped to world culinary markets.
Why Pink?
The variety of hues (pink, white and red) are a clear indicator of the salt’s rich, varying mineral and energy-rich iron content.
Benefits of Himalayan Salt
The same as vitamins and minerals, this salt was formed naturally within the sodium work in synergy. (Synergy is the interaction of multiple elements in a system to produce an effect different from or greater than the sun of their individual effects.)
Iodine
Because salt naturally has an abundant source of iron, it won’t be necessary to artificially add it in.
Less Sodium Consumed Per Serving
This salt is naturally made of the exact components as regular table salt. Its the crystal structure that is found to be larger than actual refined salt, and by volume- this salt, has way less sodium per 1/4 teaspoon. This serving amount is because the crystals or flakes of the sea salt make up less room on a teaspoon than high-refined table salt grains.

Pink Salt vs. Sea Salt
Pink salt is a sea salt, even coming from mountains. All salt comes from a body of water with heavy salt content-mainly, salt-water lake or ocean. It is Himalayan pink salt that is the purest form of sea salt out there.
Why Table Salt is Inferior
The salt we usually buy from our supermarkets, are stripped of its minerals, excluding chloride and sodium but is chemically-cleaned, heated and bleached at unnecessary high temperatures. This salt is then treated with anti-caking components that do prevent salt from mixing with water in a container of salt.
They also prevent dissolving within our bodies, leading to build up which deposit is into our vital organs and tissues, therefore causing severe health issues. The iodine in salt is synthetic, which makes it hard for your body to even process efficiently. What is even more shocking and repulsive, is U.S. law stipulates that 2% of our table salt can include additives.
The Many Uses of Pink Salt
