Are you already using Himalayan salt? Himalayan salt is rich in minerals, including calcium, magnesium, copper, and iron. It is more flavorful than regular table salt, but is it really healthier? And what all can you do with it? I'd be happy to tell you, so please read on!
What is the origin of Himalayan salt?
Himalayan salt originates from Pakistan and is exactly the same 100% pure, unprocessed, and beneficial salt as the salt from which the Himalayan salt lamp is made. Traditionally, it has been regarded as particularly precious and medicinal.
This is because modern scientific insights suggest that life originated in water, in the so-called primordial soup. This fertile primordial soup or primeval sea contained all the necessary building blocks that formed the basis of all life on Earth. Over millions of years, the first single-celled organisms evolved into modern humans with no less than 50 billion cells. But the basis of each of these cells is still formed by the same composition and proportion of essential elements and minerals from the primordial soup.
Himalayan salt is said to originate from this dried-up primordial soup and therefore also contains 84 essential minerals and trace elements that your body needs.
The role of minerals in your body
To explain the health benefits of Himalayan salt, it is important that you understand the function of minerals in your body. They play an important role in numerous processes.
In fact, without minerals, you wouldn't be able to live. For instance, all your emotions, thoughts, and movements are controlled by processes in your body. Your body, in turn, uses minerals for this.
For this to run optimally, you need the various minerals in the correct proportions, the right form, and the right quantities. The minerals you use are not replenished automatically; you must supplement them. Most minerals can only be supplemented through food. For example, by eating mineral-rich Himalayan salt.
Minerals & the difference between refined and unrefined salt
Pure sea salt or rock salt, in its natural form, is very rich in minerals and trace elements. Natural salt is unrefined. This means it has not been processed by humans through, for example, heating or other chemical processes. The minerals present in the salt are also beautifully balanced: in your body, they regulate each other's functions.
When you eat Himalayan salt you get the various minerals in the correct proportion and form, thereby naturally supplementing and preventing deficiencies of all different minerals. Table salt or kitchen salt, on the other hand, is a highly refined (and thus processed) product consisting of only one mineral: sodium chloride.
The salt has been stripped of all other valuable minerals and trace elements. This is what makes table salt so unhealthy: it only provides the body with sodium, without the regulating effects of the other minerals. When you read about the negative effects of salt, it is almost always referring to this highly refined table salt.
Using Himalayan salt as a seasoning instead of regular table salt is therefore a much healthier choice.
